Patient's question:
The grandmother and uncle of my boyfriend are a bit mentally challenged, but his mother and other aunts are normal. His sister and he are also normal, and the child his sister gave birth to is normal. Will this be inherited to our child across generations? I'm concerned. Help: If we get pregnant, what precautions should we take to prevent giving birth to a child with problems?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is likely that the symptoms are related to genetic factors. Given your current condition, it is recommended that your boyfriend consult a doctor specializing in hereditary diseases at the hospital for an examination. Chromosome genetic testing should be conducted. Lastly, patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent the recurrence of the condition.
