It is best for women to do a genetic test before they become pregnant. This is a new trick for couples in the new era to prepare for pregnancy. Genetic testing is the application of modern science and technology in the reproductive industry. Taking the initiative to do a genetic test can help you understand what genetic diseases you have and take necessary measures to prevent your baby from inheriting the family disease. Benefits of pre-conception genetic testing. 1. Understand whether you have a genetic gene that causes a family disease People with a family history of cancer or multi-genetic diseases (such as Alzheimer's disease, hypertension, etc.) are the main targets of genetic testing. The risk of the disease can be assessed based on the results of genetic testing to facilitate early detection and prevention, and proper adjustment of diet, health and lifestyle can be made to reduce the risk of the disease. 2. Choose medicines appropriately to avoid drug waste and side effects Due to differences in personal genetics, different people will experience different reactions to external substances (such as drugs). Some people may experience drug allergies or skin swelling. Through genetic testing, doctors can develop more personalized treatment plans based on the test results and more scientifically guide patients on the type and dosage of medication. 3. Provide the best evidence for health risk management Genetic testing can help understand one's tendency to develop different diseases, and then make comprehensive adjustments or interventions in daily life to reduce the risk of disease, slow down the onset of disease, and achieve the goal of "personalized diagnosis and treatment, encoding health" that is currently advocated. 4. The test for susceptible genes has amazing accuracy The genetic history of the disease in the family is caused by the inheritance of disease susceptibility genes, so genetic testing can detect the susceptible genotype of this gene inheritance. Doing a genetic test before pregnancy can find the "genetic bomb" hidden in your body without being sick, and then make comprehensive adjustments or interventions in your daily life to reduce the risk of disease, slow down or prevent the occurrence of disease. Minimally invasive prenatal genetic testing can be performed during pregnancy to detect small changes in DNA caused by chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. In addition, if the pregnant woman is an older mother, has a high-risk Down syndrome screening test, has placenta previa, low-lying placenta, or has too little amniotic fluid, etc., she must go to the hospital on time to receive minimally invasive prenatal genetic testing! |
