What should be done if there is a chromosomal abnormality in the fetus?

Patient's question:

The hospital conducted a Down syndrome screening and carefully examined the fetus's condition, but unexpectedly discovered chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. I am now very troubled about whether to keep this child. What should I do about the chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus?

Doctor's answer:

For abnormal fetal chromosomes that are accompanied by fetal malformations, it is recommended to consider induced abortion. However, if the chromosomal abnormalities do not interfere with the fetus, they may not need to be addressed, and you can focus on early pregnancy. The specific approach depends on the type of abnormality and the potential interference it may cause to the fetus, which will determine how to proceed with induced abortion. It is important to maintain a good routine and increase physical exercise during daily life to enhance the body's resistance and immunity.
