Patient's question:
My aunt moved to a private hospital before giving birth, thinking the environment there would be better. After she gave birth, the doctor didn't let her family visit, and the baby was sent directly to the neonatal intensive care unit. Now, a week later, the baby is still in an incubator and has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy.Doctor's answer:
Hello! It is a pleasure to answer your question. Cerebral palsy is a syndrome caused by non-progressive brain damage and developmental defects from pregnancy to infancy. It is primarily characterized by motor disorders and abnormal posture, often accompanied by intellectual disability, sensory disorders, communication disorders, and behavioral abnormalities. Cerebral palsy can now be treated surgically, which should help alleviate symptoms but cannot cure it. Mainly, it relies on functional exercises or traditional Chinese massage, acupuncture.
