During pregnancy, it is particularly important for expectant mothers to undergo screening for Down syndrome. There are many types of screening and examinations for fetuses during pregnancy, and some fetal nerve defect tests are also necessary. Can Down syndrome screening be used to detect nerve defects?
Down syndrome screening is to screen for the possibility of Down syndrome in fetuses. This test uses the blood of pregnant women to test the results, and then combines the specific situation and pregnancy cycle of the pregnant woman to make a comprehensive judgment, in order to screen for high-risk fetuses.
The condition of neural tube defects is caused by incomplete closure of the fetal neural tube, which can lead to this type of congenital defect. This type of neural tube defect is a serious fetal disease. If it is detected that the fetus has neural tube defects, there is a high risk for the fetus.
So from this perspective, Down syndrome screening can be used to screen for neurological defects in fetuses. In addition, if the pregnant mother finds that the fetus is at high risk of Down syndrome during the examination, she should not be too nervous. Because this preliminary comprehensive diagnosis has certain errors, further in-depth prenatal examinations should be performed, such as amniocentesis. This can more accurately diagnose whether the fetus will have any problems. And it is advisable to follow medical advice for adjustment and treatment of these problems that occur during pregnancy.
