Patient's question:
A long time ago, the child was diagnosed with Down syndrome. After two years of treatment, there has been no improvement. It feels strange, and I want to understand. Could you please tell me what are the causes of Down syndrome?Doctor's answer:
The cause of Down syndrome is due to chromosomal abnormalities, mostly inherited chromosomal defects across generations, or caused by environmental pollution and drug damage in later life. The specific etiology is due to chromosomal abnormalities and other factors. As for this disease, there is no cure, and treatment is mostly symptomatic, targeting additional symptoms. For example, prevention of transmission is necessary, and surgery may be required for deformities to correct them. Additionally, care and management are provided, as the condition is often irreversible. Treatment focuses on alleviating symptoms. Down syndrome poses significant harm to children, so it is recommended that parents take their children to a specialist for follow-up and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
