Patient's question:
The son of my colleague is only 4 years old this year. Unfortunately, this child suffers from Down syndrome. My colleague is particularly distressed due to the child's illness. How can Down syndrome be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome is also known as trisomy 21. It is a type of chromosomal disorder that causes high rates of intellectual disability in infants after birth.Guidance: Amniocentesis is the most effective method for detecting abnormalities. If Down syndrome is confirmed, this procedure is not recommended. Down syndrome is a very serious disease, and there is no cure for it. The only option is to provide rehabilitation training for the child.
