Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The procedure for correcting fetal hypothyroidism before birth is the injection of hormones into the amniotic cavity. This allows for the fetal thyroid gland to develop and function properly, avoiding complications associated with hypothyroidism. Genetic engineering and chorionic villus sampling are not used in this procedure, and drug administration to the pregnant mother may not be as effective in reaching the fetus directly.
