Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The causes of fetal malformation include the following points:1. Abuse of drugs during pregnancy. This can directly affect fetal growth and development, leading to premature birth, miscarriage, or stillbirth.
2. Infection with viruses during pregnancy. Virus infection not only affects the mother's health but also poses 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 cause fetal growth retardation, weight loss, premature birth, or congenital heart disease, and it also affects the child's intelligence. Alcohol consumption during pregnancy can lead to fetal alcohol syndrome, causing fetal malformation.
6. Exposure to harmful or toxic substances during pregnancy.
7. Contact with pets like cats and dogs during pregnancy.
8. Pregnant women over 35. Due to the aging of eggs, chromosomal mutations are more likely to occur, increasing the risk of congenital fetal malformation or Down syndrome.
9. Women who have given birth to anencephalic infants, spina bifida, or other malformed fetuses.
10. Women with habitual abortion or multiple intrauterine fetal deaths.
