Question

How to Handle Abnormal Results in Down Syndrome Screening?

Answer

When the results of the Down syndrome screening test are abnormal, further examination can be conducted using more precise methods such as amniocentesis or minimally invasive diagnosis. If a diagnosis of Down syndrome is confirmed, it is recommended to consider abortion as an option promptly, as there is no complete cure available at present, and children with Down syndrome have a shorter life expectancy. It is advised to follow the professional opinion of the doctor and undergo necessary examinations.
