Amniocentesis: price of the test and characteristics

Amniocentesis: What is it?

Amniocentesis is one of the most popular genetic tests during pregnancy. Despite this, many people still have certain doubts about this test. Amniocentesis is an invasive test that consists of a thorough analysis of the fetus to detect any possible abnormality. This test must be performed in a gynecological center from the second trimester of pregnancy, between weeks 14 and 20 of gestation.

It has a reliability of almost 100%. It is the recommended test to identify any sign in the fetus that could lead to diseases such as Down syndrome or Edwards syndrome. In this sense, amniocentesis is usually recommended when any sign of abnormality in the fetus has been detected in the ultrasound or, simply, to rule out possible abnormalities.

Amniocentesis is an invasive test, so it presents certain risks, such as rupture of the amniotic sac. Therefore, it is important to go to specialized gynecological centers that have highly experienced professionals and the best equipment on the market.
