Cleft lip is a congenital anomaly with a relatively high incidence rate. If exposed to some adverse stimuli during pregnancy, it can easily lead to fetal developmental abnormalities, mainly abnormal lip development, which also has a great impact on the fetus itself. So, what are the causes of cleft lip and palate in fetuses?
There are many reasons for cleft lip and palate in fetuses, such as improper use of medication during pregnancy, which can cause fetal developmental abnormalities. Pregnant women's physical condition is already relatively weak, and if they experience symptoms of cold and fever, medication is needed to treat them in severe cases. Improper use of medication can have adverse effects on the fetus, especially during the first three months of pregnancy when facial development begins to form.
Unreasonable lifestyle habits during pregnancy can also lead to congenital abnormalities in the fetus, such as drinking and smoking. For the health of the fetus, it is crucial for pregnant women to actively restrain these unhealthy habits and develop a good lifestyle. If exposed to chemical drugs or other radioactive substances, it can also prevent the normal development of the fetus.
Genetic factors can also lead to cleft lip and palate in fetuses. If one of the parents has a disease, the probability of the fetus being inherited is also high, so relevant tests should be done during pregnancy preparation. The physical condition during pregnancy is also crucial. If a pregnant woman has been infected with certain viruses, it may cause cleft lip in the fetus. In addition, if suffering from chronic diseases, the chance of giving birth to a cleft lip fetus is also high.
