Patient's question:
18，，18 trisomy chromosome abnormality is whether caused by abnormal sperm or abnormal egg during the formation of the fertilized egg, or by abnormalities that occur later. What are the causes of trisomy chromosome abnormalities?
Doctor's answer:
18-trisomy chromosome abnormality. Most of them are caused by abnormalities in sperm or eggs during fertilization. A small portion is also triggered by genetic mutations. If you have had one child, the next one may not necessarily be abnormal, so there's no need to be too anxious. Before the next pregnancy, you can do some thorough checks first. Chromosome abnormalities pose significant harm to children. Once parents notice symptoms in their child, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their child's diet, and it is recommended to eat a lighter diet, avoid spicy and harmful foods, and hope the child can receive symptomatic treatment to help them recover!
