For all parents in the world, the health of their children is the most important thing, so it is even more necessary to do prenatal check ups from the beginning of pregnancy, so that any abnormalities in the fetus can be detected in a timely manner. One of the tests in prenatal check ups is Down syndrome screening, which is mainly used to confirm whether the child is a Down syndrome child. So what does Down syndrome look like?
If a child has Down syndrome, after birth, obvious physical features will first appear, such as wider eye distance than the average person, lower nasal base, enlarged tongue, frequent drooling, and symptoms such as drowsiness and difficulty eating. As age increases, symptoms of intellectual disability become more apparent, with intelligence typically maintained at around 25-50 and the inability to take care of oneself.
Down syndrome can be detected in most cases during pregnancy. If detected in a timely manner during pregnancy, the best treatment for Down syndrome at present is to terminate the pregnancy. Parents must consider carefully that giving birth to a child will not only increase the burden on the family, but also cause great pain to the child.
Down syndrome can be detected in the vast majority of pregnancies, so it is important to pay attention to prenatal checkups and have them customized to detect abnormalities in the first place. Children are the hope of a family, and no one wants tragedy to happen to their own children. For the happiness of your family, please take every prenatal check-up seriously.
