Symptoms of brain retardation

For everyone, the most important stage in life is childhood. Children at this age have not yet fully developed physically, so they are always in the development stage. The most critical process is brain development. Brain development has a huge impact on human’s future intelligence and ability to take care of themselves. However, diseases in this area are increasing in society today. This cannot help but make people pay attention.

Brain retardation is a disease that can affect people's lives throughout their lives. If not treated promptly, people may become demented and unable to take care of themselves. And this kind of situation cannot be allowed by people. Therefore, people should actively understand the symptoms of brain retardation so as to detect patients with brain retardation in life as early as possible.

The main manifestation of brain retardation syndrome is intellectual disability. The child may have the following medical history: parents are consanguineous relatives; the mother is under 16 years old or over 40 years old when she becomes pregnant; the mother suffers from hypertension, diabetes, or thyroid disease; the mother has a history of viral infection in early pregnancy; the mother has a history of habitual abortion, threatened abortion, gestational hypertension, or polyhydramnios; the delivery process is premature birth, emergency birth, induced labor, or cesarean section; there is a history of neonatal asphyxia, hypoxia, kernicterus, etc. after birth.

Children with this disease are abnormally quiet and cry less or move more and cry more within 1 to 3 months after birth. They will have no response to their mothers at 4 months, will not laugh at 6 months, will not sit at 12 months, and will not walk or talk at 18 months. The children often open their mouths, stick out their tongues, drool, and grind their teeth. They often have unconscious expressions, movements, screaming or crying. Their eyes are dull and they cannot consciously look at things. They have difficulty concentrating and react poorly to things around them. Their language is significantly behind that of children of the same age. They also have motor, visual, and hearing impairments. The child may have microcephaly, macrocephaly or hydrocephalus.

Brain retardation is a very serious disease, which may cause lifelong disability if not treated properly. And this is bad news for everyone. Therefore, in order to prevent this bad news from continuing to spread among the crowd, people should pay more attention to the brain development of children around them. Once something is found to be wrong, timely medical treatment should be sought to save a person's life.
