More and more people are paying attention to eugenics, so there will be a series of prenatal check ups that need to be carried out. From the perspective of pregnant women, if there are abnormalities in the fetus, they are also likely to be in danger. From the perspective of the fetus, timely detection and correction of abnormalities are necessary. So, what is prenatal NT examination? Do I need to make an appointment for NT examination?
1. The role of NT inspection. NT examination is a very important test during prenatal examination, which allows doctors to determine whether there are chromosomal diseases or abnormalities in the fetus at a relatively early stage. This is a responsible behavior towards one's own children, as there may be high-risk children due to unsafe food hygiene and other factors. Through prenatal check ups, it is possible to significantly reduce the frequency of Down syndrome births.
2. The necessity of conducting NT checks. This prenatal examination is designed to assess whether the fetus has Down syndrome, but it cannot provide an exact result and can only indicate whether there is a risk. However, it is still very important to determine the chromosomes of the fetus.
3. Precautions for NT inspection. Because this examination does not require a blood test and does not affect the results, food can be eaten before the examination. And it is best to do it between 11 and 14 weeks of pregnancy to ensure the accuracy of the examination results. Be sure to make an appointment in advance, otherwise you may miss the best examination time.
