Does long-term medication lead to chromosomal abnormalities?

Patient's question:

Can a man raise a child long-term? Will it cause chromosomal abnormalities? Will it affect the child? After a long time of divorce, I hope my child is happy. Make my wife happy, what are the consequences of long-term medication? And what are the symptoms of chromosomal abnormalities?

Doctor's answer:

The pathogenesis of chromosomal abnormalities (i.e., chromosomal aberrations) is still unclear, which may be due to the lack of chromosome pairing during late cell division or the fragmentation and reconnection of chromosomes under various internal and external factors. 1) Quantitative aberrations include aneuploidy and polyploidy, an increase in chromosome number, and triploid appearance. 2) Structural aberrations include chromosome fragments, translocations, insertions, duplications, and ring chromosomes, which can be classified as autosomal aberrations.
