How long does it take for the puncture to produce results?

There are many surgical methods for puncture, including amniocentesis, bone marrow puncture and lumbar puncture. Each puncture is to check the health of various parts of the body, so it usually takes more than a week to know the results of the puncture. The results of amniocentesis can be known 2 weeks after the operation, and amniocentesis can be used to check for Down syndrome and chromosomal syndrome.

How long does it take for the biopsy to produce results?

The results of amniocentesis are usually available 2-3 weeks after the operation, but the specific schedule depends on the hospital. It should be clear that the purpose of amniocentesis screening is not to diagnose a certain disease, but to screen out people who are more likely to suffer from a certain disease.

The alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) content will be shown on the amniocentesis result analysis sheet:

1. The AFP value in normal fetal amniotic fluid reaches its peak at 13 weeks of pregnancy, with an average value of 26.303μg/L (26303ng/ml);

2. The AFP value begins to decrease at 19 weeks of pregnancy, and at full-term pregnancy, the average AFP value is 1.266μg/L (1266ng/ml). If the amniotic fluid AFP is higher than the average, it means that the fetus is likely to be anencephalic or have spina bifida; it may also have other malformations, such as congenital kidney disease, esophageal or intestinal atresia, umbilical defect, cystic hygroma, sacrococcygeal teratoma, Rh blood type incompatibility, congenital idiocy, congenital gonadal dysgenesis, etc.

What is amniocentesis?

Amniocentesis is a method of prenatal diagnosis, which is generally suitable for prenatal diagnosis in mid-pregnancy. What is amniocentesis? Under ultrasound guidance, a thin needle is passed through the pregnant woman's belly, uterine wall, into the amniotic cavity, and the process of extracting some amniotic fluid is called "amniocentesis."

After reading the above content, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of amniocentesis. The time for each hospital to get the results of amniocentesis is different, so there is no need to worry about this issue. You can ask the doctor when the results will be available during the examination. In addition, a puncture does not necessarily mean that the baby is deformed. I hope everyone is healthy.
