Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I went for prenatal screening for Down syndrome. I don't know what the symptoms are if you are pregnant with Down syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome shows no obvious symptoms during pregnancy. A Down syndrome screening is necessary to roughly determine if there is a critical or high risk. If the screening indicates a critical or high risk, further tests such as non-invasive DNA or amniocentesis should be conducted. If these detailed tests confirm a chromosomal abnormality, the child cannot be preserved, and early pregnancy termination may be required. If these detailed tests are normal, it can be considered that there is no Down syndrome.
