Patient's question:
My wife is pregnant with 4 and a half. She went to the hospital for normal and careful examinations. In the Down syndrome screening, the risk of Down syndrome was below the screening threshold. The doctor said she would have an amniocentesis to diagnose the risk rate of Down syndrome. How to teach Down syndrome?Doctor's answer:
This selection is merely a fear of risk. High-risk infants do not necessarily have a congenital form of Down syndrome, and low-risk infants do not necessarily have it either. Amniocentesis is the only method that can provide a definitive diagnosis. Amniocentesis is usually performed before the 20th week of early pregnancy. There is a 1,300 chance of miscarriage with amniocentesis. Preventive measures include combating infectious diseases and infections early, as well as using medications like vitamin B6 to reduce mental function. Other deformities can be corrected through surgery. It is recommended that children be taken to a regular hospital for thorough examination and treatment as soon as possible. The earlier the treatment, the better.
