Patient's question:
Go to the hospital for a check-up. The test results showed Down syndrome. Is Down syndrome really something that needs to be treated?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome and 21-trisomy syndrome, also known as congenital idiocy or Down syndrome, are among the earliest and most common autosomal diseases discovered in humans. The incidence rate in live births is approximately 1/600~800, and the incidence increases with the age of the mother. If a child is affected by Down syndrome, parents must take the child to the hospital for immediate medical treatment to prevent the use of blind medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is essential to closely monitor the child's condition and provide as much support as possible to ensure timely treatment for the disease.
