Patient's question:
My baby was very obedient when he was young, but as he grew older, his reaction ability became very poor, and he often had spasms of his limbs. The child has epilepsy, but he himself doesn't know what factors or causes it. Neither my husband nor I have epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
1. Trauma and low immunity: Trauma and some infants and young children often catching colds and having fever can sometimes also cause epilepsy.2. Genetic factors: 5% of the children of epilepsy patients may develop epilepsy.
3. Delivery injury: It is a common factor or cause of pediatric epilepsy. The factors or causes of delivery injury include forceps delivery, vacuum extraction, cephalopelvic disproportion, abnormal, fetal macrosomia, prolonged labor, advanced maternal age, and tight birth canal, etc.
4. Amniotic fluid aspiration, fetal asphyxia, umbilical cord, placental abruption, placenta previa, umbilical cord prolapse, cesarean section, etc., significantly increase the incidence rate later. Timely treatment is the most crucial.
