Pregnant women who undergo Down syndrome screening may be at risk of having trisomy 21 syndrome.

Patient's question:

Pregnant women who have a positive result from the Down syndrome screening may be at risk of having Trisomy 21. What products or foods can be consumed to supplement?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Hello, Trisomy 21 syndrome is a congenital chromosomal abnormality that cannot be changed by eating instruments and medications.
Recommendations:
1. Prenatal screening is only an assessment method, not a diagnostic method, so it only presents the concepts of high risk or low risk, without a definitive statement of whether there is a malformation or not.
2. If the risk is low, it can generally be reassuring, relatively speaking, the likelihood of malformation is smaller; if the risk is high, it is recommended to undergo amniocentesis to further determine whether it is truly a malformed child.
