Patient's question:
I've noticed many mentally disabled children around me, and I'm also worried that my baby might be mentally disabled if he/she is born. What should I do? What if the fetus is found to be mentally disabled during the detailed examination?Doctor's answer:
If it is diagnosed that the fetus has developmental abnormalities, it can be suggested to terminate the pregnancy depending on the situation. Regular prenatal check-ups should be conducted. If the fetus shows abnormal growth and development, a diagnosis is necessary, followed by treatment or a decision to terminate the pregnancy. If there are concerns, it is advisable to seek professional consultation. The child is at risk of being threatened by intellectual disability, so parents must take the child to the hospital immediately for treatment to prevent the use of small advertisements for drugs. Proper medication is essential. For parents, it is important to closely monitor the child's condition and provide timely support for treatment.
