When the fetus is in the mother's womb, the mother will feel that the fetus is safe and will not be affected by external factors. In fact, although the fetus will not be directly affected by external factors, after the mother is affected, the fetus will also be affected, such as cleft lip and cleft palate. So how is cleft lip and cleft palate caused?
Fetal cleft lip combined with cleft palate is a fetal malformation, mainly caused by genetic factors and exposure to harmful substances during pregnancy. There are many harmful substances in daily life, and when pregnant women come into contact with these substances, they will enter the bloodstream through the skin and be absorbed by the fetus, which can lead to developmental problems and the occurrence of deformities.
During pregnancy, if a cold or other illness occurs, medication should not be used indiscriminately. Many medications have an impact on fetal development and can lead to fetal deformities. Among them, epilepsy drugs and a large amount of vitamin A can cause cleft lip in fetuses. Currently, these two drugs have been proven to have such side effects.
Bad habits can also lead to cleft lip in fetuses. Some women like to smoke and drink alcohol in their daily lives. Alcohol and nicotine can affect the normal development of fetuses, causing deformities and affecting their intelligence. If they cannot control themselves during pregnancy, it will affect the fetus and lead to a series of problems.
