Patient's question:
The child was diagnosed with Down syndrome right after birth. I would like to ask what is the average life expectancy for people with this condition? Can they grow up healthily?Doctor's answer:
Most children will suffer from fetal miscarriage during the fetal period, and the fetus may also exhibit symptoms such as intellectual disability and malformations. Less than half of the children will die within a year, and most patients will die within five years, and it is difficult for them to live to adulthood. Down syndrome is a common disease, a disease that children are prone to. Many reasons are due to chromosomal abnormalities, which may lead to intellectual problems in patients. Many patients may also have symptoms such as malformations. Therefore, it has a great impact on the body.
