Patient's question:
A 35-year-old woman's mental state has not been very good recently, and she doesn't know why. Please ask: Can the Down syndrome screening detect cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
A Down syndrome screening cannot diagnose how a child may develop cerebral palsy. Down syndrome screening can confirm whether a fetus has congenital deformities, but it cannot infer the condition of the brain. It is recommended that pregnant women undergo regular prenatal check-ups and follow the doctor's advice to have a detailed ultrasound examination for fetal anomaly screening. Rest well and avoid overexertion. Do not have any psychological stress and maintain a cheerful mood. During this period, pay attention to rest and maintain a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods. This will be beneficial for both you and the fetus in your womb.
