Although our country advocates prenatal and postnatal care and explicitly prohibits consanguineous marriage, there are still many examples of consanguineous marriage among our parents. The 24-year-old Jiangsu girl became bisexual because of her parents' consanguineous marriage, and didn't realize the seriousness of the matter until she knew she was pregnant.
What is the relationship between anencephaly, color blindness, Alzheimer's disease and congenital ichthyosis ... These seemingly unrelated diseases?
Yesterday, Jin Yisheng from the Endocrinology Department of Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine told you with a recent case that a common cause of these terrible diseases is consanguineous marriage.
According to genetics, couples who are closely related get more of the same genes from their ancestors, which creates opportunities for those harmful genes to meet, and it is easy to give birth to "poor quality" children.
Male reproductive organs are long on girls.
Qin Xiao (a pseudonym), a 24-year-old patient, was born in rural Jiangsu. 13 years old, she has her first period. Her mother told her that "she has grown up" and that "her period" will visit her regularly every month.
However, in the next four years, Qin Xiao's "period" seemed to disappear and never came again. Parents didn't think of sending their children to the hospital. The doctor found that Qin Xiao didn't come except for her "period" and * * * didn't develop. What's more, her voice began to be hoarse and her Adam's apple was raised, and a male-like reproductive organ actually grew on her original female reproductive organ.
Is this the rhythm of androgyny?
The local hospital collected her relevant samples and sent them to Shanghai for testing. Finally, she was diagnosed as "congenital adrenal hyperplasia", which would make her body secrete a lot of androgen and appear "female pseudohermaphroditism" symptoms. The cause of this rare disease is either consanguineous marriage of parents or genetic mutation. Qin Xiao's parents happened to be close relatives, and the reason was discovered.
Finally, on the basis of confirming that Qin Xiao has a uterus and an ovary with a chromosome of 46XX, the local hospital helped her to have plastic surgery for reproductive organs. And let her take exogenous glucocorticoid instead, to inhibit the aggravation of the disease, and also help her maintain the secondary sexual characteristics of women.
She looks forward to having children of her own.
Dr. Jin from Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine met Qin Xiao in May this year, because Qin Xiao was married and came to Hangzhou with her husband. Grandma has been urging the young couple to have children, but Qin Xiao's "big aunt" is always elusive, so she went to the gynecologist of the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine to recuperate. But the doctor in the clinic looked at her medical history and thought that the problem could not be improved by Chinese medicine, so she was introduced to Jin Yisheng.
"After detailed examination, we found that her ovulation had serious problems. Sometimes even if follicles form, they are invalid eggs, so under natural circumstances, the probability of pregnancy is very low. " Jin Yisheng said.
After treatment, Qin Xiao's "period" is basically normal, which creates opportunities for pregnancy. As for whether you can get pregnant, it depends on the review next month. However, the unfortunate news is that if Qin Xiao gives birth to a child in the future, this strange disease in her body may also be passed on to the next generation, and giving birth to a daughter will be as troublesome as her; Having a son may be precocious, but he is not tall.
