What causes cerebral palsy in children?

In fact, in many cases, cerebral palsy in children is caused by fetal hypoxia during the birth process. In order to better prevent this problem, pregnant women should pay attention to some issues during pregnancy or delivery. Only in this way can we do a better job of prevention. So let us take a detailed look at what causes cerebral palsy in children.

We all know that cerebral palsy in children can actually be so serious that it affects their health. In many cases, this phenomenon will accompany their growth for a long time. Therefore, this is a very troubling problem for parents. Therefore, we must understand the cause so that we can better prevent it.

1. High-risk factors for cerebral palsy are discovered before, during and after birth. Such as infection during pregnancy, rubella, severe pregnancy-induced hypertension, asphyxia at birth, premature babies, severe jaundice, intracranial hemorrhage in children after birth, etc.

2. The baby has difficulty feeding after birth, such as weak sucking, weak crying or crying too much, and is easily frightened.

3. Being too quiet and having little active exercise.

4. Motor development is delayed. For example, a 3- to 4-month-old child cannot hold his head upright or lifts his head unsteadily in a prone position; at 4 months old, he still cannot support weight with his forearms, stands on tiptoes or his lower limbs are too straight or crossed.

5. Abnormal muscle tension and abnormal posture often occur, such as flexion and adduction of the fingers of both hands, clenched fists, internal rotation of the forearms, and backward tilt of the head and neck.

Experts remind that if parents find that their children have the above symptoms, they should immediately go to the hospital for screening and diagnosis, and conduct intelligence tests if necessary.

The above is an introduction to some causes of cerebral palsy in children. I hope that from these introductions everyone can have a more comprehensive understanding of these common sense, and effectively carry out prevention and health care to better reduce the occurrence of cerebral palsy in children and ensure that children can grow up healthily and happily. Parents play a very important role at this time.
