Question
Can a man with chromosomal abnormalities naturally give birth to a child, or is in vitro fertilization the only option? Detailed examination results: 20 aneuploid cells with 46 chromosomes, 5 abnormal cells, and 5 karyotype predictions: 46, XY, dup(16)(q11→q12)
Answer
Dear inquirer, embryos or fetuses with chromosomal abnormalities are usually expelled from the mother’s body before 20 weeks of gestation or when the fetus weighs less than 500g without the use of artificial methods, which is known as spontaneous abortion. Patients with chromosomal abnormalities tend to experience spontaneous abortions each time they become pregnant. Current medical treatments cannot completely cure chromosomal abnormalities, and it is recommended that you consider in vitro fertilization.
