Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, and so far, we don't have any children. I'm very anxious about it and don't know if it's my problem. I've asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm very worried that my condition might worsen. Could you please tell me if Marfan syndrome can result in the birth of normal children?Doctor's answer:
Marfan syndrome, also known as arachnodactyly syndrome, is a congenital genetic connective tissue disease that is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner and has a family history. According to the Marriage Law, couples with this condition are prohibited from having children. There are many triggers for genetic counseling, and patients need timely symptomatic treatment. It is recommended to seek treatment at a Class III-A hospital for your condition. Pay attention to the progression of the disease and avoid indiscriminate treatment. Additionally, focus on self-care in daily life and maintain a good routine. Best wishes for your recovery!
