Patient's question:
A woman is 29 years old and has been treating this disease for a long time. She has been taking medication, but there has been no improvement. She is very frustrated and has tried many methods without success. She asks: What are the symptoms of Down syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Children with Down syndrome typically exhibit distinctive facial features, such as wide-set eyes, a protruding tongue that often sticks out of the mouth, a smaller head circumference than normal, short stature, and overly bent joints. Male children with the condition will never be fertile during puberty, while female children will have menstruation and may become pregnant. Their immune systems are weaker, and the risk of leukemia is 10-30 times higher than in others. If they live into adulthood, they may experience symptoms of dementia after the age of 31.
