Question

Last year, a relative was diagnosed with trisomy, followed by cognitive issues among the family elders. Confused about the treatment methods for trisomy, can treatment be provided during the trisomy period?

Answer

Currently, there is no specific treatment method for trisomy. For patients with complications in the circulatory system that cannot be treated surgically, the average lifespan is about 20 years. However, if complex treatments for malformations can be carried out, the patient’s physical health condition can be maintained, and the average expected lifespan has increased to about 50 years. Additionally, early childcare is of great importance to the patient’s growth. If considering treatment, mild intellectual disability treatment methods can be referred to, but the effect is not significant.
