Does a puncture in pregnant women have any impact on the fetus? What do you think?

For the healthy development of the fetus, it is generally recommended that women undergo amniocentesis during pregnancy. So does amniocentesis for pregnant women have any impact on the fetus? What does amniocentesis do? What are the precautions for amniocentesis? The following is a detailed introduction for you. Amniocentesis has been used for prenatal diagnosis for many years and has been recognized by the medical community for its accuracy and safety.

1. Experts remind that the risk and difficulty of amniocentesis vary from person to person and are closely related to the expectant mother’s fetal position, placental position, amniotic fluid volume at the puncture point, fetal activity, etc. It has high security, but its security cannot be fully explained. A very small number of expectant mothers will experience mild uterine contractions or vaginal bleeding after amniocentesis, which can usually be relieved by rest or abortion treatment. However, there are also cases of amnionitis, rupture of fetal membranes, and miscarriage after amniocentesis, so expectant mothers should consider and choose carefully. In order to ensure the safety of the examination, it is recommended that expectant mothers choose a regular obstetrics and gynecology hospital and have a professional doctor conduct the examination, which can greatly improve the safety. What does amniocentesis do? Check for fetal distress. During delivery, the fetus may be embarrassed due to prolonged labor, lack of oxygen, or compression.

2. If amniocentesis is performed, abnormalities can be detected as early as possible and treated in time. Determine the gender of the fetus. This technology determines gender through the analysis of amniotic fluid, such as chromosomes or secretions, which is simple, convenient and accurate. Check the fetus for malformations. This technology can diagnose whether an unborn child has organ abnormalities such as neural tube defects, genetic disorders or chromosomal abnormalities. Check fetal growth and development. When you need to know the specific conditions of fetal growth or the expected date of delivery, you can also use this technology to learn about the fetus through amniotic fluid. If a pregnant woman has a history of allergies, special diseases, etc. that need to be explained, please inform the doctor during pre-operative registration. Sexual intercourse is prohibited three days before amniocentesis; you need to take a shower the day before amniocentesis; you need to urinate 10 minutes before surgery.

3. If you have a cold, fever, skin infection, etc. Please inform your doctor during pre-operative registration 3 to 7 days before amniocentesis. After amniocentesis, sit quietly for at least 2 hours and then take the bus home. For out-of-town patients, it is best to rest near the hospital hotel that night and go home the next day to avoid being overtired after the operation. Will amniotic fluid embolism occur if a caesarean section is recommended? You cannot take a shower within 24 hours after amniocentesis. Pay attention to rest and avoid strenuous exercise and physical labor such as carrying heavy objects.
