How to identify cerebral palsy during pregnancy

It is quite difficult to determine whether the fetus has cerebral palsy during pregnancy, because cerebral palsy is caused by abnormal brain development or brain damage. It is almost impossible to perform a brain examination during the fetal period. Of course, as a pregnant woman, you should develop good living habits in your daily life. This is the most effective way to prevent cerebral palsy.

How to identify cerebral palsy during pregnancy

Sometimes, cerebral palsy can occur in the fetal period. For example, if the pregnant woman has a cold or is exposed to radiation during the fetal period, the chance of the fetus developing cerebral palsy will increase. However, it is difficult to detect cerebral palsy in the fetus during pregnancy.

There are some triggers that may make the fetus prone to cerebral palsy. For example, if the pregnant woman has a cold or a history of threatened miscarriage during the third month of pregnancy, there is a possibility of cerebral palsy. If there is a history of asphyxia and hypoxia at birth, or if there is jaundice, premature birth, and low birth weight, the chance of cerebral palsy is even greater. The diagnosis of brain disease is related to medical history and symptoms, and most of them can be detected. During the fetal period, some examinations can be used to diagnose whether the fetus is healthy, such as B-ultrasound, amniocentesis, Down syndrome screening, etc.

Through Down syndrome screening, it is generally possible to detect whether the fetus has intellectual problems. However, it is still relatively difficult to detect cerebral palsy in children during pregnancy. In addition to occurring before birth, that is, in the fetal period, many cases of cerebral palsy are caused by many other reasons at birth and within one month after birth. Therefore, the incidence of cerebral palsy in children is still very high. For example, premature birth or dystocia can all lead to cerebral palsy in children.

In fact, the best way to treat cerebral palsy in children is to do preventive work during pregnancy, such as avoiding colds, ensuring normal diet and sleep, and paying attention to physical exercise. Generally, as long as there are no adverse factors, the fetus will not suffer from cerebral palsy.

How to prevent cerebral palsy in children 1. Prevention of cerebral palsy before birth

Actively carry out early prenatal diagnosis and fetal prediction, carry out publicity and education on eugenics and good parenting, improve the health of pregnant women, and prevent congenital diseases.

2. Pregnant women should pay attention

Avoid viral infections such as influenza, rubella, etc. Especially during the 10th to 18th week of pregnancy, when the fetal nervous system develops rapidly, more attention should be paid to preventing infection.

3. No smoking or drinking

Avoid exposure to toxic and harmful substances and radiation, do not do too many ultrasound examinations, and it is best not to watch TV.

4. Prevention of cerebral palsy during birth

An important cause of cerebral palsy is fetal asphyxia and intracranial hemorrhage during delivery, so premature birth and difficult labor should be prevented. Proper treatment of difficult-to-deliver fetuses is a crucial step in preventing cerebral palsy.

5. Prevent other diseases from causing cerebral palsy

Once neonatal asphyxia, intracranial hemorrhage and other diseases occur, active treatment should be carried out to reduce damage to the newborn. Brain infection, cerebrovascular disease, brain trauma, etc. can all cause acquired paralysis: Therefore, strengthening preventive measures and preventing the occurrence of the above-mentioned diseases is the fundamental way to prevent acquired cerebral palsy. If the above situation occurs, you should be hospitalized for treatment immediately.
