What is the examination of amniocentesis?

As we all know, not every pregnant woman can spend her pregnancy easily. In addition to enduring all kinds of discomfort during pregnancy, I have to go to the hospital for pregnancy tests one after another. Amniocentesis is one of many pregnancy tests. So what is amniocentesis?

Amniocentesis is a method of prenatal diagnosis, which is mainly aimed at pregnant women to check whether their fetus has some special genetic diseases, whether the chromosome is abnormal, or whether the fetus has neural tube malformation, so as to prevent the child from being born with defects. Achieving the goal of eugenics is also one of the requirements of family planning. For example, if your child's chromosome test shows 46, then your child is lucky and normal.

Of course, if Down syndrome is changed, the fetus should have 47 chromosomes, and it is not allowed to reveal whether the fetus is male or female, which is also a legal requirement. The result of amniocentesis is very accurate. Let's talk about the matters needing attention in amniocentesis.

Generally speaking, the time to do amniocentesis is about 6 months pregnant, so don't check it too early or too late. If amniocentesis is done too early, it is easy to have the result of insufficient amniotic fluid. If it's too late, it's not impossible, but it's too late to find out that the child has a problem.

Finally, amniocentesis is aimed at some elderly women and pregnant women with a family history of genetic diseases. If there is no problem, it is not recommended, because after all, it is harmful to pregnant women, and the harm is not small.

In addition, pregnant women should eat more vitamins, eat more nutritious food, drink more water, don't eat too much fried and greasy food, eat more digestible and nutritious food, and go out for a walk if nothing happens.

How much is amniocentesis? Amniocentesis is one of the prenatal examination items, that is, amniotic fluid of pregnant women is taken as a specimen for diagnosis of fetal congenital genetic diseases, congenital metabolic diseases and neural tube development defects. At the same time, it is also helpful to judge the maturity of fetal lung and diagnose the infectious diseases of amniotic cavity. The cost of amniocentesis is not uniform. Different hospitals and different projects have different costs. Routine inspection is about 2000 yuan. Generally, according to the extracted amniotic fluid, umbilical cord blood and other tests, the cost may be higher, and the specific cost should be consulted by the hospital.

In addition, avoid taking a bath within 24 hours after amniocentesis, pay more attention to rest, and avoid physical labor such as a lot of exercise and carrying heavy objects. If you have abdominal pain, bloating, vaginal discharge, bleeding, fever and other symptoms within 3 days after operation, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible.
