Lack of vitamins A and B in pregnant women can lead to congenital cleft lip and palate in newborns.
Experts pointed out that bad habits such as smoking and drinking, as well as the lack of folic acid (belonging to vitamin B family, used to treat nutritional anemia and stomatitis and diarrhea) and vitamins A and B in food will lead to head and neck deformities such as congenital cleft lip and palate in newborns.
Folic acid is a kind of vitamin B and an indispensable nutrient in the process of cell manufacturing. Taking proper folic acid can prevent congenital cleft lip and palate, but it should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
Prevention is better than cure.
In recent years, due to the rapid development of plastic surgery, children with cleft lip and palate can be corrected early and achieved good results. But early prevention is more important. With the popularization and improvement of the accuracy of super-birth examination, it has become a reality to diagnose whether the fetus is cleft lip and palate before birth. It is reported that the high-resolution probe can clearly distinguish the lips and nose of the fetus at 15 weeks of pregnancy, and cleft lip and palate was first found at 3 months of pregnancy.
Surgical treatment of rabbit lip
Babies with cleft lip and palate can get careful treatment step by step from the beginning, so that children with cleft lip and palate can be as close to the normal population in function, appearance and psychology as possible and integrate into society as soon as possible.
Rabbit lip can be repaired and corrected by surgery, and the operation effect is very good, generally there will be no serious sequelae, but the operation must be carried out by experienced pediatricians and plastic surgeons. Some children's parents are indifferent to their children, which delays their best treatment period, because for children with cleft lip and palate, the earlier they receive corrective surgery, the better the recovery effect will be.
Babies with simple cleft lip can go to the hospital for cleft lip repair when the child is 3 to 4 months old. Abroad, it is considered that the treatment effect is best when the child is 10 weeks old, weighs 10 kg and hemoglobin 10 g.
If there is a cleft palate at the same time, in order to facilitate the baby to breastfeed and correct pronunciation in the future, some repair operations must be done. Whether it is cleft lip or cleft palate, the operation time should be decided according to its own situation because of the different shapes and degrees.
Dr. Zheng said that if only the outer lip is cracked, only surgical suture is needed; If the rabbit lip involves the upper palate, the cleft palate must be repaired. Cleft lip will not leave obvious marks after suture, but it will no longer affect eating. Doctors suggest that cleft palate can be repaired with rabbit lips between half a year old and 1 half a year old, which is helpful for children's language recovery in the future.
If you ignore the rabbit lips, it is easy to cause inflammation. Because the pressure in the mouth of infants with cleft lip and palate is not enough, it is easy to choke into the trachea or flow into the ears when eating milk or drinking water. After the milk that enters the trachea by mistake reaches the lungs, it will cause inflammation and develop into pneumonia; The flow of milk through the throat to the ear is easy to cause otitis media, and pus or strange liquid flows out of the ear. Therefore, it is especially hard for parents to feed their babies with cleft lip and palate, and they should be especially careful when feeding.
Absorb the knowledge of preventing harelip babies from producing.
Dr. Zheng said that although there is no exact cause of rabbit lip, it is indeed closely related to heredity. In addition, the mother drinking too much during pregnancy, taking epileptic drugs, or getting older (the probability is not too high) may cause the baby's harelip.
Mastering some necessary scientific knowledge is very important for preventing and reducing the occurrence of congenital cleft lip and palate.
hereditary factor
If the mother has rabbit lips, the incidence rate of her children is as high as15%; If the father has rabbit lips, the incidence rate of his children is 5%. According to research, if you have given birth to a baby with severe cleft lip, the probability of giving birth to a second baby with cleft lip is 5%; If the cleft lip is not serious, the second cleft lip baby is 3%. Children who are married by close relatives have a higher incidence.
Adverse effects on pregnant women during pregnancy.
1. Caused by diseases: Statistics of some clinical cases prove that some diseases suffered by women during pregnancy are the main causes of congenital cleft lip and palate. Such as colds, especially in the first three months of pregnancy, because the face begins to form in the fourth week of embryonic development, the palate begins to develop in the fifth week, and all parts of the palate are completely integrated in the 12 week. At this time, the mother's disease may cause fetal palatal development defects.
2. Improper medication: The side effects of various drugs are an important factor leading to fetal malformation. It has been proved that taking epileptic drugs in early pregnancy and taking a large amount of vitamin A during pregnancy can cause congenital cleft lip and palate.
3. Bad habits: Smoking, drinking or taking alcoholic drinks and drinking during pregnancy also make some fetuses innocent victims.
4. Environmental pollution: Close contact with chemicals or toxic substances such as pesticides in the first trimester, excessive exposure to radiation or long-term computer operation may cause congenital cleft lip and palate in the fetus. Therefore, some experts suggest that you should avoid working in front of the computer for a long time during pregnancy.
