Is it OK not to do Down syndrome screening?

Down syndrome screening is a method of examination that mainly checks the incidence of Down syndrome diseases. It can help us analyze the health of our body, so it is better for us to get checked in our lives. If you think there is no problem with your physical condition, then you don't need to do Down's syndrome screening. So the reason why you don't want to do Down's syndrome screening in your life is your own, but you are unable to analyze the health status of your body.

There is no problem if you do not do Down syndrome screening in your life. The main thing is that you have to believe that there is nothing wrong with your body. Because when the disease occurs in the body, it will be difficult for us to treat it. I hope you can pay attention to it.

Down syndrome screening is only a risk assessment method, not a diagnosis method, so there is only the concept of high risk or low risk, but no statement of whether it is definitely deformed or not. Therefore, even if the test is done, it cannot be confirmed whether the fetus is normal or abnormal. However, after the examination, if the risk is low, you can generally rest assured, as the possibility of deformity is relatively small; if the risk is high, then amniocentesis is recommended to further determine whether the baby is indeed deformed.

This screening is voluntary and is usually done after 16 weeks. It is mainly to see whether the child has a high chance of Down syndrome and whether the baby will be deformed. It is best for pregnant women over 35 years old to do it. For pregnant women under 35 years old, if they are sure that they do not have genetic diseases and firmly believe in the health of their baby, there will be no big problem if they do not do it. This examination will not affect the baby. It just checks his own development and cannot change anything.

Down syndrome is sporadic and has nothing to do with family history. Anyone can give birth to a baby with Down syndrome, but the chance is very, very low. Down syndrome screening is a screening test based on amniocentesis, which provides a probability value and means nothing else. Amniocentesis can detect 99% of babies with chromosomal abnormalities. Whether to do it or not is purely a personal choice.

Regarding the question of whether it is okay not to do Down syndrome screening, I believe you all now know that it is okay not to do Down syndrome screening. Down syndrome is a sporadic disease that causes great harm to the patient's body, so we recommend that everyone should know how to deal with it in life to avoid causing harm to the baby.
