What causes cleft lip?

1. External stimulation

We all know that cleft lip is a congenital disease, which means that the child may already have cleft lip in the mother's womb. At this time, the cause of its occurrence may be that the pregnant woman herself is disturbed and stimulated by some external objects, that is, the influence of some radiation that cannot be seen by the naked eye, which may cause cleft lip. Therefore, it is best for pregnant women to avoid contact with things with relatively high radiation during pregnancy.

2. Lack of folic acid

Another aspect is that for normal pregnant women, they should take more folic acid in the first three months, because the function of folic acid is to prevent the occurrence of some deformities, such as cleft lip, which is a very obvious one. Eating more folic acid can prevent the occurrence of this disease. Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of cleft lip, we must eat more folic acid in the first three months or even in the first three months of pregnancy.

The causes of cleft lip are actually the ones mentioned above. Female friends must pay more attention during pregnancy, ensure adequate rest, and try not to touch some irritating things, such as mobile phones and computers. It is normal to maintain your physical and mental health. Pregnant friends also need to take folic acid before getting pregnant to try to avoid accidental pregnancy.
