Is IVF NT only applicable to women
Test tube baby NT (Nuchal Translucency) is a method to evaluate the possibility of Down syndrome at birth by ultrasonic examination of the thickness of the transparent layer on the back of the neck of the fetus. Although the test is mainly used to screen for Down syndrome and other chromosome defects, it is not only applicable to women. The following will elaborate the applicability of IVF NT in terms of fetal gender, examination purpose, technical implementation and hospital practice.
Fetal sex does not affect NT examination
Test tube infant NT test is a screening test for fetal chromosome defects, which has nothing to do with fetal sex. The thickness of the transparent layer of the neck of both male and female fetuses can be measured by ultrasound. Therefore, the test tube infant NT test does not differ depending on the sex of the fetus.
Especially for the screening of Down syndrome, gender does not affect the results, because Down syndrome is caused by trisomy 21 and is not affected by fetal gender. Therefore, both male and female fetuses can undergo in vitro NT test for relevant screening.
Test tube infant NT test is designed to screen for chromosome defects
The main purpose of test tube infant NT examination is to screen the fetus for chromosomal abnormalities, especially Down syndrome. By measuring the thickness of the transparent layer on the back of the fetal neck, combined with the age of the mother and other risk factors, the possibility of the fetus suffering from chromosome defects can be preliminarily assessed. This will provide parents with the opportunity to further check and intervene in order to make appropriate decisions for early detection of fetuses with chromosome problems.
Chromosome defects associated with in vitro NT testing are not limited to female fetuses. Both male and female fetuses, as long as there is a risk of carrying chromosomal abnormalities, can be screened through the test tube baby NT test.
In vitro baby NT technology implementation is not limited to gender
The technical implementation of the test tube infant NT test does not differ by gender. This examination uses ultrasonic technology to measure the thickness of the transparent layer on the back of the fetal neck. There is no gender difference in technical operation for male and female fetuses.
The doctor will perform the test tube baby NT test during pregnancy, usually between 12 and 14 weeks of pregnancy. The examination process is the same for both male and female fetuses. The thickness of the fetal neck transparent layer is observed and measured with an ultrasonic instrument to obtain relevant screening results.
Hospital practice proves that test tube baby NT is suitable for male and female fetuses
In fact, many test tube infant NT tests are applicable to male and female fetuses. Hospitals around the world use this method to screen for potential chromosomal problems.
Take a hospital in China as an example. The hospital provides test tube baby NT examination service. Both male and female fetuses can obtain chromosome abnormality screening results through this examination. Under the guidance of the doctor, pregnant women can carry out the test tube baby NT inspection through appointment and regular inspection to ensure the health of the fetus.
Summary
To sum up, IVF NT is not only applicable to women. Both male and female fetuses can accept this examination in terms of fetal gender, examination purpose, technical implementation and hospital practice. Test tube baby NT assesses the possibility of fetus suffering from chromosome defects by measuring the thickness of the transparent layer of the fetal neck, aiming to find problems as early as possible and provide opportunities for further inspection and intervention. Both male and female fetuses can be screened for chromosomal abnormalities through in vitro NT examination to ensure the health of the fetus.
