What is the reason for fetal malformation?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What is the reason for fetal malformation?

Doctor's answer:

1. Abuse of drugs during pregnancy. This can directly lead to fetal growth and development issues, causing preterm birth, miscarriage, or stillbirth.
2. Viral infections during pregnancy. These infections not only affect the mother's health but also pose certain risks to the fetus.
3. Excessive sexual activity during pregnancy.
4. Overexertion or extreme emotional fluctuations during pregnancy.
5. Heavy smoking and alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Smoking during pregnancy can lead to fetal growth retardation, weight loss, premature birth, or congenital heart disease, and it also affects the child's intelligence. Alcohol abuse during pregnancy can cause fetal alcohol syndrome, leading to fetal malformations.
6. Exposure to harmful or toxic substances during pregnancy.
7. Contact with pets like cats and dogs during pregnancy.
8. Pregnant women over the age of 35. Due to the aging of eggs, there is a higher risk of chromosomal mutations, which can result in congenital fetal deformities or Down syndrome.
9. Women who have given birth to anencephalic infants, spina bifida, or other malformed fetuses.
10. Women with habitual miscarriage or multiple intrauterine fetal deaths.
