What is invasive perinatal diagnosis?

Specialists distinguish between invasive and non-invasive methods for diagnosing the condition of the fetus and a woman during pregnancy. Non-invasive methods involve such methods of examination when there is no invasion of the uterine cavity. Invasive methods, on the contrary, assume that the doctor penetrates into the uterus with the help of special equipment in order to obtain the biological material necessary for the study. Such methods pose a danger to the fetus and the pregnant woman, as invasion of the uterine cavity can lead to complications. In addition, such methods are very complex and time-consuming. That is why invasive research methods are prescribed by a doctor strictly according to indications, and not every woman.
Experts distinguish several types of invasive diagnostic methods. There is one thing in common between them: these studies are conducted in order to obtain fetal or placental tissue and further study them.
So what are the indications for prescribing invasive research methods?
As a rule, these are situations in which the risk of developing chromosomal abnormalities or the appearance of genetic diseases in the baby is increased. Here is a list of dangerous situations for the baby that require an invasive perinatal diagnosis. If the mother's age is over thirty-five years old, then the risk of developing pathologies is increased. Doctors may also recommend such studies if a child with a genetic disorder has already been born in the family. In addition, if a carrier of a chromosomal pathology is identified in the family, it is also worth conducting an invasive perinatal diagnosis. If a woman took certain medications during pregnancy or shortly before her onset, suffered hepatitis, rubella, or toxoplasmosis during pregnancy, underwent radiation before pregnancy, or had more than two spontaneous abortions in the past, these are the situations in which the doctor will prescribe an invasive diagnosis.
But first, in such cases, a non-invasive perinatal diagnosis is performed, as with all pregnant women. If the results of the studies alarm the doctor, and the woman is at risk of developing genetic and chromosomal pathologies, the doctor prescribes one of the methods of invasive diagnosis. This strategy is also used for pregnant women who are not at risk, but who have questionable or poor screening results.
It should be understood that such research methods are recommended by a doctor only in cases where the risk of developing a chromosomal or genetic pathology is very high. The doctor must explain everything in detail to the spouses so that they can independently decide on the appropriateness of conducting this study. In addition, the doctor evaluates the risks strictly individually. It is clear that the risk of complications after an invasive diagnostic procedure in a woman who already has several children will be assessed differently than in a woman who becomes pregnant after prolonged infertility.
