Question
During the prenatal examination, no issues were detected with the child, but after birth, it was found that he has Down Syndrome. How much does it cost to treat Down Syndrome?
Answer
The cost varies by hospital, so it is recommended to consult locally for detailed information. If there are no abnormalities detected in the ultrasound, there is no need for amniocentesis as it carries certain risks. Amniocentesis is only applicable when there are signs of trisomy or elevated levels. Additionally, there is a risk of multiple pregnancies after amniocentesis. It is recommended to undergo an ultrasound; if no issues are found and the trisomy risk is low, there is no need for amniocentesis.
