It is clear to everyone that women need to go to the hospital for examination after pregnancy. No matter how troublesome these projects are, women need to persist in completing them in order to better ensure normal fetal development and avoid irreversible consequences caused by hidden diseases that cannot be discovered in a timely manner. Among multiple examinations, NT examination is required for every woman after pregnancy. So, what is the purpose of NT inspection?
NT is called nuchal translucency, which checks the thickness of subcutaneous tissue fluid in the fetal neck to understand the fetal body's development. If excessive subcutaneous tissue is found in the neck of the fetus during NT examination, the fetus may have a problem of subcutaneous fluid accumulation. If the NT examination results show that the thicker the skin under the fetal neck, the higher the probability of fetal structural abnormalities and chromosomal developmental abnormalities. In addition, the thickness of the nuchal translucency in fetuses is also related to their congenital heart disease.
It can be seen from this that the existence of NT examination is very important, and women must follow the doctor's instructions to undergo NT examination after pregnancy. Moreover, the optimal time for NT examination is between 11-14 weeks of pregnancy. If NT examination is performed too early, accurate examination results cannot be obtained because the fetus is too small at this time. However, if the examination is too late, accurate results cannot be obtained either, as at this time the fetal subcutaneous fluid may be being absorbed by the developing lymphatic system.
So women must go to the hospital on time for NT examination. The fee for NT examination varies from place to place, and women need to go to the local hospital in advance to learn about it. However, the cost of conducting an NT inspection usually ranges from 100 to 300 yuan. In addition to NT examinations, women should also undergo other examinations on time.
