Fetal malformation is an important item in prenatal examination. If the fetus has malformation, it is not allowed to have this child. In the end, certain measures need to be taken to solve the malformation problem, but the main methods are induced abortion and miscarriage. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to miscarriage. Below, the editor will take you to pay attention to a question: what are the reactions if the fetus is deformed?
What are the reactions to fetal malformation
1. Fetal malformation refers to structural or chromosomal abnormalities that occur in the uterus of the fetus. Fetal malformations account for about 3% of live births, and the total number of children with congenital disabilities in China is as high as 800000 to 1.2 million, accounting for 4% to 6% of the country's total birth population. Severe deformities can lead to fetal/neonatal death or severe disability.
2. Pregnant women with fetal abnormalities generally do not have much reaction. In order to avoid fetal abnormalities, it is a good method for expectant mothers to actively participate in regular prenatal check ups. At present, China conducts prenatal screening for major fetal malformations, mainly including Trisomy 21 syndrome, Trisomy 18 syndrome, open neural tube defects, anencephaly, severe hydrocephalus, and certain severe congenital heart diseases.
3. For high-risk pregnant women with a history of adverse environmental exposure or a family history of deformities, prenatal screening should be conducted, combined with laboratory tests and various instrument examinations to diagnose whether the fetus is deformed. In recent years, new diagnostic techniques and methods have advantages such as early, rapid, accurate, and non-invasive. By using these methods to monitor high-risk pregnant women, timely and accurate diagnosis can be made.
Prevention and Health Care of Fetal Abnormalities
1. In early pregnancy, avoid fever and colds. Women who have had high fever in early pregnancy may experience adverse effects on brain tissue development, such as intellectual disability, poor learning and reaction abilities, even if the child does not show obvious appearance abnormalities. This intellectual disability cannot be recovered. Of course, fetal malformations caused by high fever are also related to the sensitivity of pregnant women to high fever and other factors.
2. Avoid approaching cats and dogs. Few people know that cats carrying bacteria are also a significant source of infectious disease that poses a great threat to fetal malformations, and cat feces are the main route of transmission for this malignant infectious disease.
3. Avoid women who wear heavy makeup every day. A survey shows that the incidence of fetal malformations is 1.25 times higher among those who apply heavy makeup every day than those who do not. The main adverse effects on fetal abnormal development are toxic substances such as arsenic, lead, and mercury contained in cosmetics, which affect the normal development of the fetus. Secondly, some components in cosmetics produce aromatic amine compounds with teratogenic effects after exposure to ultraviolet radiation in sunlight.
4. Avoid mental stress during pregnancy. Human emotions are controlled by the central nervous system and endocrine system, and one of the endocrine hormones, adrenal cortex hormone, is closely related to changes in human emotions. When pregnant women are emotionally tense, adrenal cortex hormones may hinder the fusion of certain tissues in the embryo. If it occurs during the first 3 months of pregnancy, it can cause deformities such as cleft lip or palate in the fetus.
5. Avoid drinking alcohol. Pregnant women drinking alcohol can enter the developing embryo through the placenta, causing serious damage to the fetus. Such as a small head, extremely small ears and nose, and wide upper lip.
6. Avoid consuming foods containing mycotoxins. Experts point out that if pregnant women consume food contaminated with mycotoxins (moldy food), the mycotoxins can spread to the fetus through the placenta, causing chromosome breakage in the fetal cells.
The above is the information compiled by the editor regarding the reactions to fetal malformation. There are many reasons that can cause fetal malformations, but the main one is that mothers do not pay enough attention to their pregnant bodies. In daily life, it is also necessary to reduce the use of radiation sources such as mobile phones and computers for the health of their children. The editor wishes mothers to have healthy children.
