Amniocentesis is a very common diagnostic method in daily life. It is to better check the physical health of pregnant women and whether they have a family history of genetic diseases. Generally, female friends over the age of 35 need to undergo amniocentesis when they are pregnant. This detection technology can better and accurately determine whether the chromosomes of the fetus are abnormal, so female friends need to learn more about the relevant knowledge.

1 Generally, pregnant women over 35 years old need to undergo amniocentesis diagnosis, because the risk of pregnancy for older women is relatively high and problems are most likely to occur during pregnancy. Amniocentesis is also recommended for expectant mothers who are under 35 but have a family history of genetic diseases or chromosomal abnormalities, or if abnormalities are found in ultrasound scans.

2 The accuracy rate of amniocentesis in detecting fetal chromosomal abnormalities is almost 100%. Older pregnant women over 35 years old are prone to fetal chromosomal abnormalities. Amniotic fluid samples contain cells from the fetal skin and other organs, which can accurately analyze the fetal condition and ensure the health of the fetus and the safety of delivery.

3 Pregnant women with high-risk pregnancies also need to undergo amniocentesis to determine the maturity of the fetus and choose the best time for delivery. So this inspection must be done.

What can amniocentesis detect?

4 Amniocentesis can check for chromosomal abnormalities, neural tube defects and special genetic diseases. If the result of the pregnant woman's Down syndrome screening is high risk, it is recommended that expectant mothers undergo amniocentesis to further confirm the fetal condition.

5. Amniocentesis is to diagnose chromosomes, genetic diseases, metabolic diseases, and to confirm congenital idiocy and idiocy, etc., in preparation for subsequent birth and treatment; it can also diagnose whether the fetus has open neural tube defects, such as anencephaly or spina bifida; it can specifically check the maturity of the fetus's lungs, kidneys, liver, and skin, predict the fetal blood type, and diagnose whether neonatal hemolysis will occur;

6 Amniocentesis can also detect intrauterine infection. If interleukin-6 in amniotic fluid is elevated, subclinical intrauterine infection may exist.

It should be noted that amniocentesis is not a necessary prenatal check-up item during pregnancy and it has certain risks. Expectant mothers must decide based on their own circumstances.
