1. How to do amniocentesis
The following answer is excerpted from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Nantong University Affiliated Hospital \”Should you do amniocentesis that makes you confused? Should you do it?\” To be honest, it is necessary! 》
Extracting part of the amniotic fluid through amniocentesis can be used to check the baby\’s chromosomes, genes or viral infection-related indicators, etc., so as to make prenatal diagnosis of some diseases.
Amniocentesis involves inserting a slender needle into a pregnant woman\’s belly and uterine wall under ultrasound guidance, and entering the amniotic cavity to extract some amniotic fluid.
Puncture is an invasive minor surgery and involves surgery-related risks, such as miscarriage, premature birth, amniotic fluid leakage, etc., with an incidence rate of approximately 0.2%-0.1 %.
Amniocentesis is not recommended for pregnant women whose high-risk factors are not found in prenatal screening;
However, if there are high-risk factors and the doctor assesses that prenatal diagnosis is needed,
it is still hoped that everyone will follow the doctor\’s advice to extract amniotic fluid and diagnose whether the fetus has related abnormalities as early as possible.
2. How much does amniocentesis cost
The cost of amniocentesis is About 1,000 yuan. Amniocentesis will extract about 20 pieces of amniotic fluid. The amniotic fluid volume of pregnant women is at least 250, so it accounts for less than 8% of the total amniotic fluid. It will be replenished soon, so it will not cause the amniotic fluid volume to decrease. It will not affect the development of the fetus. The entire puncture is guided by B-ultrasound and will not accidentally injure the fetus. It is relatively safe.
OK, this is the end of the content on how to draw amniotic fluid and amniocentesis. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
