Question

Based on your description, I want a second child because I’m worried about genetic issues as I get older, and I’m considering IVF to have another baby. How can chromosomal abnormalities be prevented to ensure the baby’s health?

Answer

Compared to natural conception, IVF has a higher success rate. The core technology of IVF, PGS/PGD, can screen the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the embryo and confirm 125 genetic disorders. By implanting healthy, high-quality embryos, this not only reduces the failure rate of IVF but also increases the chances of conceiving a healthy baby. At the same time, if a child is troubled by chromosomal abnormalities, parents must seek medical treatment promptly for their child, avoid various misconceptions, and carefully observe any changes in their child’s symptoms to help them receive timely disease treatment.
