Question
My mom has been unable to cook recently and always complains of dizziness and headaches. I’m not sure what’s going on, but she seems to be in low spirits. How can chromosome abnormalities be treated?
Answer
Based on the results of chromosomal karyotyping, it is considered that there may be structural chromosomal abnormalities that occur early in sperm or egg formation, or in the early stages of embryo differentiation. It is not ruled out that one of the couple could be a carrier of translocation. In the former case, it is a dramatic change without hereditary factors; in the latter, there is still a possibility of the same problem recurring in the next pregnancy. Therefore, it is recommended that both partners undergo detailed chromosomal checks before the next pregnancy. If no abnormalities are found, precautions should be taken against various viruses, radiation, and other biological and environmental factors that may have adverse effects on conception.
