Patient's question:
During the prenatal check-up during pregnancy, no problems were found with the child. However, after birth, it was discovered that he has Down syndrome. How much does it cost to treat Down syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Different hospitals charge different fees. It is recommended that you consult a local hospital for detailed information. If no abnormalities are found in the ultrasound examination, then amniocentesis is not necessary. Because amniocentesis is invasive. Amniocentesis can only be performed after the test shows trisomy abnormalities or an increase. Additionally. The likelihood of a multiple pregnancy is relatively high after amniocentesis. I suggest you have an ultrasound examination. If the ultrasound does not reveal any problems and the risk of trisomy is low, then amniocentesis is not necessary.
