What is the critical risk of Tang Si Jiu?
Tang screening is a prenatal screening technology, mainly used to detect fetal congenital diseases. It is also called fetal birth defect risk screening in medical nutrition. Tang screening results usually include several indicators such as Tang screening value, PAPP-A, and free β-hCG. Based on the Tang screening results, doctors can assess the \”nine-fold critical risk\”, that is, the risk of fetal disease. This article will elaborate on the ten Tangsie nine critical risks.
Tang Si Jiu Critical Risk
1. Advanced maternal age
A woman\’s ovarian function declines significantly after the age of 30, and is bound to enter a more obvious decline period at the age of 40. After menstruation gradually decreases and stops, the ovary will be unable to produce eggs. The incidence of pregnancy complications and maternal complications in older pregnant women is significantly increased, and Tang screening results will also show a critical risk of ninefold, so vigilance needs to be increased.
2. Family inheritance
Fetal congenital diseases may also be related to family inheritance. This generally refers to the fact that at least one parent or relative has a history of certain congenital diseases. At this time, the risk of pregnant women in the family suffering from certain diseases will be greatly increased.
3. Overweight, obese or malnourished
Bad eating habits will not only affect the health of the expectant mother, but also affect the development of the fetus, which will bring certain risks of illness. Babies born to malnourished pregnant women have low birth weight, and lack of nutrition will also directly affect the development of certain organs.
4. Infection in early pregnancy
If a pregnant woman is infected with a certain disease during early pregnancy, it will not only affect her own physical health, but also directly affect the health of her fetus. Certain infections can cause pregnancy lesions that are detrimental to the normal development of the fetus. Common infectious viruses include herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, rubella virus, etc.
The significance of Tangsi results
The Down syndrome screening result is a test result that predicts whether the fetus will suffer from Down syndrome and other common congenital defects by analyzing the Down syndrome triple test indicators in pregnant women as well as the woman\’s age, pregnancy period and other factors. The meaning of the results is explained in detail as follows.
1. High risk
If the Tang screening results show that the fetus is at high risk of disease, the mother needs to receive a higher level of prenatal examination so that abnormalities in the mother and fetus can be detected early and better treatment and intervention can be provided for the mother and fetus.
2. Medium risk
If the Tang screening result is in the intermediate-risk range, it needs to be combined with other examination methods, such as amniocentesis, chorionic villus biopsy and other examinations, to obtain more accurate results.
3. Low risk
If the Tang screening result is in the low-risk range, the mother can rest assured and can carry out normal pregnancy examinations according to the doctor\’s recommendations.
How to reduce fetal risks?
Expectant fathers and mothers can reduce their risk of birth defects such as Down syndrome by doing the following.
1. Pre-pregnancy check-up
Only through pre-pregnancy check-ups and timely prevention of existing disease risks can the fetus be effectively protected and the sequelae of the fetus can be avoided.
2. Nutritional balance
Expectant mothers should continue to eat a healthy, balanced diet and maintain a normal weight. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. The diet should be rich in folic acid, iron and zinc.Micro elements.
3. Lifestyle
Expectant mothers should develop good living habits, especially in the early stages of pregnancy, if they are not paid attention to, it can easily have adverse effects on the fetus. Expectant fathers and expectant mothers should maintain good sleep, routine and mental health.
Summary
Ten Tang screens and nine critical risks are a method to specifically analyze and evaluate the risk of fetal congenital diseases. Different people may have different screening results due to different backgrounds, genetics, and living conditions. Expectant fathers and expectant mothers are very important during pregnancy. Consciously making some changes during pregnancy can create a better environment and conditions for themselves and their babies, and reduce the chance of fetal risks such as Down syndrome.
