Patient's question:
The child of my sister is three years old this year. But we all feel that this child is not quite normal. He looks like a little fool. When we took the child for a check-up, we found that he has congenital idiocy. The doctor said it is Down syndrome. We want to know if there is any treatment for this Down syndrome.Doctor's answer:
Hello! The results of the Down syndrome screening indicate a high risk. Moreover, the possibility of trisomy 21 is relatively high. This situation requires fetal ultrasound examination and regular check-ups. I recommend that you review it again. If it remains high, an amniocentesis should be performed. If the results of the amniocentesis are abnormal, then an abortion should be considered. Because the fetus may be congenitally affected, which can have a serious impact on the child and the family. If the test results are normal, you can rest assured about the pregnancy.
