Question
How long can the symptoms of developmental delay last?
Answer
Preventive measures mainly include the following aspects: implementing genetic metabolism testing and providing counseling to prevent consanguineous marriage; searching for carriers to conduct genetic counseling; and providing good prenatal and postnatal care. For women of childbearing age, measures such as prenatal and perinatal health care, amniocentesis (including chromosomal diseases, neural tube defects, metabolic diseases, etc.), management of high-risk pregnancy, neonatal intensive care, counseling pregnant women to avoid drinking and smoking, and preventing or discontinuing drugs harmful to fetal growth and development should be taken.
