Patient's question:
Yesterday, while shopping, I noticed a little girl on the side of the road who was very strange. Her husband said she suffered from cleft lip and palate. At the time, she was very worried and didn't know how this disease was caused. She is also planning to get pregnant and have a child, and wants to know the causes of cleft lip and palate so that she can prevent it early.What kind of help do you want: What are the causes of cleft lip and palate?
Doctor's answer:
This should be innate, likely involving generational inheritance factors. Additionally, it could be related to diseases the pregnant woman may have had in the early stages of pregnancy, such as colds or rubella, as well as the medications she took. It could also be influenced by exposure to chemicals, such as hair dyes or chemical preparations. If the pregnant woman was exposed to X-rays in the early stages, that could also be a possibility.
