Question
My wife has experienced miscarriage symptoms in her two consecutive pregnancies. After hospital examination, it was found that her 18th chromosome has an abnormality. I would like to ask how to deal with the abnormality of the 18th chromosome?
Answer
An abnormality in the 18th chromosome typically increases the risk of miscarriage or preterm delivery. In this case, it is recommended to consider undergoing third-generation in vitro fertilization technology to screen the chromosomal status of the embryo, avoiding the implantation of abnormal embryos.
