Patient's question:
I want a second child because I'm worried about genetic issues due to my age. I want to have the second child through a petri dish. How can I ensure the baby's health if there are chromosomal abnormalities?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you are preparing to undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF). Compared to other methods, IVF has a relatively high success rate. The core technology of IVF, PGS/PGD, can screen the 23 pairs of chromosomes of the embryo and diagnose 125 genetic diseases. By implanting healthy and high-quality embryos, it not only increases the success rate of IVF but also helps in conceiving a healthy baby. Children suffering from chromosomal abnormalities should be taken to the doctor for timely treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. Symptomatic treatment should be administered promptly. For parents, it is important to closely observe changes in their child's symptoms and do their best to help them receive timely medical treatment.
