It is understood that the incidence of rabbit lip is relatively high. Generally, there are 1 2 cases of congenital "rabbit lip" in every 1000 newborns. There are more than 6.5438+0.7 million patients with cleft lip in China, most of whom are hereditary diseases. But why are there children with rabbit lips? Is the folk rumor that "my mother ate rabbit meat during pregnancy" true, or is it because my mother fell during pregnancy? Experts joked that it is extremely unscientific to say that eating rabbit meat and wrestling will cause rabbit lips.
At present, the origin of cleft lip and palate can not be known exactly in medicine, which is usually caused by the following two reasons: environmental factors are mainly the following situations that may lead to cleft lip and palate in the early pregnancy (before 3 months of pregnancy): viral infection: such as upper respiratory tract infection of pregnant women, rubella and so on. Drug effects: such as taking antiepileptic drugs, cholesterol-lowering drugs, antiallergic drugs and anticancer drugs. Endocrine: mental or damaging factors, such as intense mental stimulation and physical trauma. Nutritional factors: vomiting, anorexia and partial eclipse in early pregnancy lead to vitamin D, folic acid, iron and calcium deficiency. Other factors: such as X-ray exposure, smoking, excessive drinking and lack of oxygen. In addition, a considerable part of cleft lip and palate is hereditary. Generally, the probability of cleft lip and palate in the first child is 1/600. If the first child is cleft lip and palate, the probability of cleft lip and palate in the second child is 3/ 100.
Experts say that children with severe cleft lip will affect breastfeeding and cannot breastfeed normally, leading to malnutrition. Children's unclear articulation will affect their language development during their growth and development. In addition, due to the defects of their own appearance, being laughed at by friends around them after entering school age will make children feel inferior, thus causing psychological obstacles.
Cleft lip repair surgery is best in 3 ~ 6 months after birth, because at this time, the child's general condition has become relatively stable and it is safe to operate. At this time, the development of the child's lips is also more conducive to surgery. But bilateral cleft lip surgery should be safer after the child is 6 months old. We should strive for the repair of rabbit lips within 1 year. There are many kinds of surgical methods for cleft lip and forehead repair according to the different conditions of each patient, but no matter which surgical method, developmental deformity may occur with the growth of children's age, and secondary or even this repair is needed to achieve "perfection". In short, patients with cleft lip should be treated as soon as possible, which can not only reduce the risk of surgery, but also leave fewer scars after surgery.
Experts remind that the older parents are, the greater the chance of children suffering from congenital cleft lip. In order to reduce the chance of children's cleft lip, parents should have a lower childbearing age. Pregnant women should not smoke, drink or take drugs during pregnancy, but also maintain a good and healthy attitude to avoid the occurrence of congenital children.
