What is a non-invasive examination?

Generally speaking, non-invasive testing usually refers to non-invasive prenatal DNA testing (NIPT), a method used to detect whether a fetus has congenital developmental abnormalities or chromosomal genetic disorders. Pregnant women can undergo non-invasive DNA testing during pregnancy to determine if the fetus has any congenital abnormalities or chromosomal disorders. Non-invasive DNA testing offers advantages such as being painless, carrying no risk of infection, and requiring a short testing period. It is recommended that pregnant women attend regular prenatal check-ups. If fetal abnormalities are suspected, tests such as non-invasive DNA testing or amniocentesis should be performed to confirm the diagnosis, which helps facilitate timely recovery and management.
