Patient's question:
The baby is two years old. She was just diagnosed with Down syndrome today. She speaks late, walks unsteadily, is not tall, and often drools. Otherwise, she is the same as other children of the same age. Can this disease be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome screening is conducted during early and mid-pregnancy screening, with both screenings costing 400-500 yuan. If you have already missed the early screening window, you can directly choose the mid-pregnancy screening. If it's low-risk, there's generally no problem. However, prices may vary between different regions and hospitals. Remember to check your abdomen during the examination, preferably between the 16th and 18th weeks of pregnancy. Pay attention to regular pregnancy check-ups and eat more vegetables, fruits, nuts, and other foods during pregnancy.
