How many days of danger period can there be after amniocentesis

When a woman becomes pregnant, she must undergo some pregnancy checkups, mainly to focus on the health of the pregnant woman and the fetus. Generally, pregnant women over the age of 35 must undergo non-invasive DNA testing or amniocentesis. For these two tests, pregnant women should choose according to their own situation. Just choose one. Amniocentesis can be used to check whether there are any abnormalities in the fetal chromosomes. The older the pregnant woman, the more important it is to undergo this examination.

How many days of danger period can there be after amniocentesis

1. Generally speaking, there will be no side effects for more than two weeks after amniocentesis, so there will be no danger. The main purpose is to prevent leakage of amniotic fluid, accidental injury to the fetus and amniotic cavity infection. It is recommended that you do not worry. After the operation, pay attention to the fetal heart rate and movement, and whether there are bleeding at the puncture site, discharge, or fever, and maintain a regular lifestyle.

2. Within three days after the puncture, you should pay special attention to whether you have any abnormal conditions, such as abdominal pain, abdominal distension, vaginal discharge, bleeding, fever and other symptoms, which indicate that the pregnancy is dangerous and you need to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital for treatment. The miscarriage rate of this examination is only one percent, so amniocentesis is relatively safe for pregnant women and fetuses. The amniotic fluid drawn by amniocentesis can be used for fetal chromosome karyotype analysis and diagnosis of chromosomal genetic diseases.

What is sheep biopsy?

Water puncture, also known as amniocentesis, is a traumatic prenatal sampling method, which is generally suitable for prenatal diagnosis in mid-term pregnancy. Amniotic fluid exists in the amniotic cavity; the fertilized egg forms the amniotic cavity on the seventh day after fertilization and begins to produce amniotic fluid. The amount of amniotic fluid is 50 ml at 12 weeks of pregnancy, 400 ml at 20 weeks, and 1000-1500 ml at 36-38 weeks. The amount of amniotic fluid decreases slightly as the expected date of delivery approaches. Amniocentesis began in 1950. In the early days, amniocentesis was performed blindly, with amniotic fluid extracted directly from the belly through a needle, which was extremely dangerous to the fetus. In 1983, amniocentesis was started under the guidance of B-ultrasound, which could avoid the fetus, placenta and umbilical cord, making amniocentesis a very safe examination.

The benefits of amniocentesis are as follows :

1. Pregnant women over 35 years old are prone to fetal chromosomal abnormalities. The amniotic fluid sample contains cells from the fetal skin and other organs. The accuracy of amniotic fluid diagnosis in detecting fetal chromosomal abnormalities can reach almost 100%, ensuring the health of the fetus and the safety of delivery.

2. Pregnant women with high-risk pregnancies need to use amniocentesis to determine the maturity of the fetus and choose the best time for delivery.

3. Older pregnant women are more prone to infection. By measuring the specific immunoglobulin in the amniotic fluid, we can understand whether there is intrauterine infection and avoid miscarriage or premature birth.

Many pregnant women feel horrified when they hear the name of puncture, and it also adds greater psychological and physical burden to expectant mothers who are already exhausted from dealing with various prenatal examinations. Generally speaking, the process of amniocentesis is safe. Although there is a risk of causing maternal injury, fetal placenta and umbilical cord injury, amniotic fluid leakage, miscarriage or premature birth, and intrauterine infection, the proportion is very small.
