Patient's question:
Every mother hopes her baby is healthy, and I also hope my child can transform healthily. But when my fetus was born, it was diagnosed with Down syndrome. The doctor said the child was at risk. I wonder what the risk of Down syndrome means?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome is a disease caused by chromosomal abnormalities. A Down syndrome risk assessment indicates the likelihood of a child transmitting Down syndrome. Children with Down syndrome typically exhibit intellectual disability, developmental delays, and facial abnormalities. Currently, there is no effective treatment for Down syndrome, and medication is used to suppress the recurrence of many complications. If there is a risk of Down syndrome during pregnancy, early termination of pregnancy can be considered promptly.
