What causes baby's cleft lip?

Parents are very concerned about their baby's health and hope to give birth to a healthy and cute baby. However, babies with cleft lip are also very common in daily life, so people can learn more about the causes of cleft lip to avoid it in advance. The causes of cleft lip in babies generally include external stimulation, lack of folic acid, etc. Pregnant female friends need to learn more about the relevant knowledge.

1. External stimulation

We all know that cleft lip is a congenital disease, which means that the child may already have cleft lip in the mother's womb. At this time, the cause of its occurrence may be that the pregnant woman herself is disturbed and stimulated by some external objects, that is, the influence of some radiation that cannot be seen by the naked eye, which may cause cleft lip. Therefore, it is best for pregnant women to avoid contact with things with relatively high radiation during pregnancy.

2. Lack of folic acid

Another aspect is that for normal pregnant women, they should take more folic acid in the first three months, because the function of folic acid is to prevent the occurrence of some deformities, such as cleft lip, which is a very obvious one. Eating more folic acid can prevent the occurrence of this disease. Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of cleft lip, we must eat more folic acid in the first three months or even in the first three months of pregnancy.

The causes of cleft lip are actually the ones mentioned above. Female friends must pay more attention during pregnancy, ensure adequate rest, and try not to touch some irritating things, such as mobile phones and computers. It is normal to maintain your physical and mental health. Pregnant friends also need to take folic acid before getting pregnant to try to avoid accidental pregnancy.

Cleft lip and palate have genetic factors. Another factor is whether the pregnant woman has suffered from any disease in the early stages of pregnancy, such as a cold, rubella, etc. It is also related to the medication she takes. It is also related to whether she has been exposed to chemicals, such as hair dyes, chemical preparations, etc. It is also possible if the pregnant woman has had an X-ray in the early stages of pregnancy.

Guidance:

Babies with cleft lip and cleft palate must be treated surgically. The best treatment age is when the child is about 1 year old, and treatment should be completed before the child learns to speak.

Cleft lip and palate is mostly a genetic disease, but some are caused by gene mutations caused by viral infection in early pregnancy, drinking, drugs and radiation.

The best time for treatment is three months to repair cleft lip and 18 months to repair cleft palate. If the nose is deformed after the operation, it should be repaired at around 8 years old. Dental deformities after the operation are generally repaired and corrected at around 12 years old.

Many reasons for the baby's cleft lip are due to elderly pregnant women or people who often smoke and drink, so you must pay attention to the pregnancy problems

Guidance:

During pregnancy, especially the first three months, it is an important time for the development of the fetus' lips. If the pregnant mother is in a bad mood at this time and is often angry or worried, then cleft lip is very likely to occur.
