Prevention of albinism in children

Childhood albinism is mainly a genetic disease, and it is difficult to treat it in life, but we can prevent the occurrence of childhood albinism in life. Childhood albinism is a relatively serious disease. In our daily lives, we mainly conduct pre-marital physical examinations for couples and check the baby's development more often during pregnancy, so that we can avoid the occurrence of childhood albinism as much as possible in our lives.

Childhood albinism is very harmful to the baby's physical health and will affect our family's financial situation. Therefore, it is best for us to prevent the occurrence of childhood albinism in time before the baby is born. Therefore, it is recommended that newlyweds should do some pre-marital physical examinations.

Premarital physical examination plays a positive role in preventing birth defects. The extent of the role depends on the examination items and content, mainly including serological examination (such as hepatitis B virus, syphilis spirochete, HIV), reproductive system examination (such as screening for cervical inflammation), general physical examination (such as blood pressure, electrocardiogram), and inquiries about family history of disease, personal medical history, etc., and good genetic disease counseling.

Pregnant women should avoid harmful factors as much as possible, including staying away from smoke, alcohol, drugs, radiation, pesticides, noise, volatile harmful gases, toxic and harmful heavy metals, etc. Systematic birth defect screening is required during prenatal care during pregnancy, including regular ultrasound examinations, serological screening, and chromosome examinations when necessary.

If abnormal results occur, it is necessary to clarify whether the pregnancy needs to be terminated, the safety of the fetus in the uterus, whether there will be sequelae after birth, whether the sequelae can be treated, and the prognosis. Practical diagnostic and treatment measures need to be taken.

Albinism is a genetic disease characterized by a congenital lack of tissue pigmentation, often caused by a lack of tyrosinase in the patient's body, which makes it impossible to convert tyrosine into melanin. Therefore, when patients are born, their hair all over their body is white, and even their skin and eyes lack pigment, so their tolerance to light is reduced.

If we can prevent childhood albinism before birth, it will be of great help to us. Therefore, we suggest that newlyweds should learn more about the prevention methods of childhood albinism. For example, you can pay more attention to pregnancy checkups and avoid some environmental factors in your life.
