Patient's question:
Is chromosomal abnormality a high risk factor for fetal malformation? Concerned help: I've been married to my wife for three years and haven't had any children. I'm preparing to do a test tube baby procedure. This time, I had a thorough check-up for my chromosomes at the hospital, but the results haven't come out yet. Coincidentally, my wife got pregnant, and the results came out. It said that my chromosomes are abnormal. Can this child be kept?Doctor's answer:
From your description, it appears you are already pregnant. Chromosomal abnormalities can be the result of abnormal fetal growth and development during the fetal period or genetic inheritance across generations. Currently, it is not confirmed how this embryo can develop normally. If conditions permit, an embryo can be carefully examined, and if it is normal, it can be preserved. The above suggestions are in response to the question "Is there a high chance that chromosomal abnormalities cause fetal malformations?" I hope this is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
