Down syndrome babies are those who suffer from Down syndrome, a genetic defect disease that is mainly prevented in clinical practice. It is difficult to cure genetic defects. This disease is a very painful thing for both babies and their families. So are all Down's babies premature?
Are all Down's babies premature
Down syndrome is generally not related to premature labor, abdominal dissection, and other conditions. The clinical treatment of this disease is mainly based on symptomatic treatment.
Down syndrome is a common clinical disease, and its etiology is generally related to genetic defects. The clinical manifestations of this disease include a special dementia face, clearance of hands, delayed growth and development, low immunity, and often accompanied by internal organ deformities.
What are the effects of Down syndrome
1. The child often giggles foolishly, and some movements are slow to perform, even unable to complete them completely. The movements are clumsy, and the child likes to imitate simple movements frequently and repeat them repeatedly. When encountering certain things, the child will become emotionally unstable, react violently, easily get excited, be willful, and even exhibit destructive and aggressive behavior.
2. The child has a short and deformed body, poor nutrition, respiratory disorders, and is prone to respiratory infections. The risk of developing Alzheimer's disease is relatively high after middle age, and it is easy to experience symptoms such as memory loss, sustained intellectual decline, and personality changes.
3. Some children may have congenital heart disease, gastrointestinal abnormalities, hypothyroidism, and due to their low immune function, they are prone to various infections, and a small number may have leukemia. There is usually a fatal risk if early treatment is not carried out.
Although modern medicine has become very advanced, it also has its limitations. At present, medical technology has not yet reached the level of repairing genome sequences, making it difficult to treat diseases such as Down syndrome at the genetic level. So, in order to avoid tragedy, the best way is to undergo regular prenatal check ups according to the methods mentioned above, and to prevent the birth of Down syndrome babies in advance.
