Many women know that during the planning and preparation stage for pregnancy, in order to ensure smooth conception and healthy growth of the fetus, and to reduce the occurrence of certain factors that are unfavorable to pregnancy, it is better for both men and women to undergo a pre pregnancy examination. However, some women may find that their chromosomes are abnormal after the examination, so they asked the editor what to do if their chromosome 3 is abnormal.
What should I do if there is an abnormality in chromosome 3
Generally speaking, an abnormality in chromosome 3 does not affect the body or normal conception. However, chromosome 3 may have an impact on embryonic development, leading to fetal malformation and even miscarriage. Therefore, if an abnormality in chromosome 3 is found, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination to determine the factors causing the abnormality. After symptomatic treatment, it is better to wait until the chromosome returns to normal before considering pregnancy.
How to do chromosome examination
General chromosome examination uses peripheral blood to stimulate cell growth, mainly through the action of plant lectins, and requires cultivation at 37 ℃ for 72 hours to obtain a large number of dividing cells. Then, by adding an appropriate amount of colchicine, the dividing cells can be stopped in the middle stage of division, so as to observe the condition of chromosomes. Then, after low-permeability expansion of cells, the entanglement and overlap between chromosomes can be reduced. Finally, methanol and glacial acetic acid are used to fix the cells to be observed on a glass slide, and the chromosome structure and quantity can be better observed under a microscope.
Under normal circumstances, healthy women have two XX sex chromosomes and a commonly used chromosome of 46. Therefore, if the number of chromosomes is found to be greater or less than 46 during examination, it is considered an abnormality in the number of chromosomes.
That's all for the introduction about what to do with chromosome 3 abnormalities above. Although once a chromosome abnormality is detected through examination, it cannot be changed or cured through treatment, as long as you follow the doctor's instructions, correct some unhealthy lifestyle habits, and take proper prenatal check ups and protective measures after pregnancy, you can still have a smooth childbirth.
