Patient's question:
During this time, my good colleague has become pregnant. However, recently, I've noticed that my colleague's health is getting worse and worse. Later, she went for a thorough prenatal check-up, and the results seem to indicate that the baby's body is not quite right. Later, I heard from the doctor that it might be a malformed fetus. What kind of assistance is needed: What factors can currently be diagnosed in clinical practice to cause fetal malformations, and how can one check to determine if it is malformed?Doctor's answer:
There are many types of fetal malformations. Excessive use of various drugs commonly used, the use of estrogens, androgens, and progesterone in early pregnancy can lead to changes in fetal sex and other deformities. If a pregnant woman takes streptomycin continuously, it can cause epilepsy in newborns. In addition, there have been reports of teratogenicity associated with drugs such as tetracycline, phenytoin, salicylates, and hormone drugs. Therefore, medication during pregnancy should be used appropriately under the guidance of a doctor. Rural women should avoid contact with pesticides during pregnancy to prevent interference with the fetus. The above suggestions are in response to the question "What are the common types of fetal malformations?" and I hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
