Patient's question:
My friend told me that when his child was born, a thorough examination revealed Down syndrome.，，。Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome is an accidental condition, so every pregnant woman has the possibility of giving birth to a "Down syndrome son." Individuals with Down syndrome can usually be diagnosed shortly after birth, and early intervention is the best for these children. As the age of the pregnant woman increases, the likelihood of giving birth to a child with Down syndrome also increases. If the screening test results indicate a higher risk of the fetus having Down syndrome, further diagnostic tests such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling should be performed.
