How to prevent the occurrence of Down's baby in vitro
Down's baby in vitro refers to the baby born through in vitro fertilization technology suffering from Down's syndrome. In order to prevent this situation, we can take measures from the following aspects.
Reduce the age of pregnant women
The age of pregnant women is an important factor in the occurrence of Down's baby. As women grow older, their egg quality will gradually decline, thus increasing the risk of Down syndrome. Therefore, reducing the age of pregnant women is one of the keys to prevent Down's babies.
First of all, young women should improve their health awareness and conduct regular physical examinations to ensure good health. Secondly, young couples should take their own economic and living conditions into full consideration when planning their family, to ensure that pregnant women will not be too old.
In addition, in some medical institutions, such as Boston Children's Hospital affiliated to Harvard Medical School in the United States, they provide customized genetic counseling services by evaluating prenatal screening results and medical history of pregnant women, to help pregnant women understand the risks of Down syndrome and reduce the possibility of Down syndrome.
Perform prenatal screening and diagnosis
Prenatal screening and diagnosis is one of the important methods for early detection of Down's babies. By detecting the blood markers of pregnant women and ultrasonic examination, we can preliminarily screen whether the fetus of pregnant women has the risk of Down syndrome.
In some modern medical centers, such as the London flagship clinic in the UK, they provide more accurate and reliable screening and diagnosis services for Down's babies for pregnant women by providing the latest prenatal screening and diagnostic technology. This method can detect Down's child in early pregnancy, which is convenient for couples to make decisions and follow-up treatment.
In addition, prenatal gene detection technology has gradually developed, which can more accurately detect whether the fetus carries abnormal genes of Down syndrome, and help pregnant women to make more accurate risk assessment and preventive measures.
Avoid marriage
Avoiding close marriage is one of the important measures to prevent Down's children. Kinship marriage increases the risk of carrying Down syndrome gene, thus increasing the occurrence rate of Down children.
Medical institutions and scientists all over the world have emphasized the risk of kinship marriage, suggesting that couples should fully consider kinship when choosing a spouse to avoid close marriage, so as to reduce the incidence of Down's children.
Actively improve lifestyle
The improvement of lifestyle is also one of the important means to prevent Down's children. Keeping good living habits and healthy diet can improve the nutritional level of pregnant women and reduce the risk of Down's baby.
First, pregnant women can strengthen their body's resistance through regular exercise. Proper exercise can improve cardiovascular function, enhance immunity and reduce the occurrence of Down syndrome.
Secondly, pregnant women should avoid exposure to harmful substances and environmental pollution, such as nicotine and alcohol, which have great adverse effects on the development of the fetus.
Finally, pregnant women should maintain a stable mood and mentality. Long term psychological tension and pressure will increase the risk of Down's child, so pregnant women should participate in some relaxation activities to keep happy.
Summary
In order to prevent the occurrence of test tube baby Down, we can take a variety of measures. Reducing the age of pregnant women, carrying out prenatal screening and diagnosis, avoiding kinship marriage and actively improving the lifestyle are important means to prevent test tube baby Down's. Through these measures, we can effectively reduce the incidence of Down's babies and make IVF more healthy.
