The probability of amniocentesis failure

Nowadays, some pregnant women choose to check whether the baby's physical condition is healthy through some tests when they are pregnant, so as to effectively avoid giving birth to unhealthy babies. Amniocentesis is a test method used by some female friends. Today, the question that the editor has raised for everyone is the issue that many people are very concerned about: what is the probability of failing the amniocentesis test?

What are the chances of failing an amniocentesis test?

Amniocentesis, also known as "amniocentesis", is one of the unique new items in pregnancy checkups. Many pregnant women are worried about whether they need to do this test. It obtains information about the health and development of the fetus by extracting amniotic fluid samples from pregnant women, and is generally suitable for prenatal examinations in mid-pregnancy. The error rate of amniocentesis is only 0.5%-1%. Amniocentesis is used to diagnose whether the fetus has chromosomal abnormalities, neural tube defects, and some genetic metabolic diseases that can be reflected in the amniotic fluid of pregnant women.

What can amniocentesis detect?

With the increasing number of older pregnant women, it is recommended to do an amniocentesis during pregnancy. The purpose of this puncture is to understand whether there are any problems with the fetus's chromosomes. Because the older the age, the higher the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities, so it is positively correlated with the age of the pregnant mother. Therefore, clinical medicine generally recommends an amniocentesis for older pregnant women around four months of pregnancy, and then checks the sex chromosomes of the fetus to help determine whether the fetus has any sex chromosome abnormalities, thereby preventing the baby from being born with congenital diseases.

The above is some information about amniocentesis that the editor has sorted out for everyone. I hope it can help everyone. Then the editor hopes that some pregnant friends who choose to undergo amniocentesis will not worry too much and be anxious, and believe that they can give birth to a healthy baby. Finally, the editor wishes all pregnant women can give birth to a healthy, happy, intelligent and happy baby.
