Question
What does it mean when a fetus has reached the chromosomal abnormality critical risk?
Answer
When an ultrasound indicates that a fetus may have chromosomal abnormalities, it is referred to as reaching the “critical risk of chromosomal abnormalities.” This means that although not yet diagnosed, the risk index is already high, and it is recommended for pregnant women to undergo further tests such as amniocentesis or non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) to determine the fetus’s health status. At this stage, it is important to seek professional medical advice and follow up with examinations and treatments based on the doctor’s recommendations.
