Childhood cerebral palsy can be prevented early

Pediatric cerebral palsy has a serious impact on the child’s life and work in the future. There is no panacea for the disease, so early prevention is very important. Prevention of the three links The first is before the child is born. Pregnant women should actively undergo early prenatal checkups and do a good job in perinatal health care to prevent congenital diseases from occurring in the fetus; they should give up bad habits, such as smoking, drinking, and should not abuse drugs such as anesthetics and sedatives; they should prevent viral infections such as influenza and rubella, and should not come into contact with cats and dogs; and they should avoid contacting with harmful and poisonous substances such as radiation and frequent ultrasound checkups. Pregnant women with the following conditions should have prenatal checkups as early as possible: 1, older pregnant women (over 35 years old) or men over 50 years old; 2, consanguineous marriages; 3, history of unexplained miscarriages, preterm births, stillbirths and neonatal deaths; 4, mental retardation of pregnant women or history of epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and other hereditary diseases in close relatives of both parties. If fetal abnormalities are found in early pregnancy, the pregnancy should be terminated as early as possible. The second is at birth, i.e., during labor and delivery. Fetal asphyxia and intracranial hemorrhage due to delivery is an important cause of pediatric cerebral palsy. Premature and difficult labor should be prevented. Medical personnel should handle all aspects of labor and delivery carefully and meticulously, and do all the treatments for difficult-to-deliver fetuses. The third is that the fetus should be given better care and reasonable feeding within one month after birth to prevent intracranial infection and traumatic brain injury. Early treatment is effective. From the developmental characteristics of the brain and nervous system, the earlier the discovery, the greater the possibility of recovery of the brain and nervous system and the better the treatment effect. Research shows that the development of brain and nervous system reaches 90% before the age of 6. Early treatment can avoid lifelong disability caused by the formation of bad posture and limb deformity. Early detection of cerebral palsy in children Many babies with cerebral palsy croak and it is difficult for parents to find any obvious abnormal symptoms in their children, especially those babies with mild cerebral palsy are easier to be ignored. Even if some parents found some abnormalities, they did not pay enough attention to them, and they were even mistaken as calcium deficiency, achondroplasia and other diseases, which made these babies with cerebral palsy miss the early diagnosis and miss the early treatment. Therefore, only through patient and careful observation can the various manifestations of pediatric cerebral palsy be detected. Comprehensive clinical practice and experts’ research results can be observed from the following three aspects: 1. Abnormal movement. The development of normal infant’s movement is regular, if you find that the child’s age is very different from the movement at this stage, for example, by 3 or 4 months, the head is still erect and not straight to the east, 9 or 10 months can’t sit alone, can’t stand at 12 months, and can’t walk at 1 and a half years old, it should draw parents’ attention. 2.Abnormal posture. For example, it is difficult to separate the legs, not easy to change the diaper; standing legs crossed, walking on tiptoes, heel not on the ground; hand grip is not flexible, when making a fist thumb in the palm of the hand; some also have strange facial movements, such as tongue, speech slurred and other phenomena. 3, in the perinatal period the baby has a history of asphyxia hypoxia. The possibility of cerebral palsy is greatly increased in children with birth injury, preterm labor or low birth weight. Experts’ tips: Once the above signs appear, it is necessary to go to the hospital for further diagnosis, so as not to miss the best time for treatment, delay for life, and bring pain to the child and the family.
