Patient's question:
Due to a history of cerebral palsy in my family, I have been worried about my child's condition since pregnancy, hoping for a healthy child. However, after the child was born, it was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, and I am truly not happy at all. How is cerebral palsy treated in children? After discovering the illness, I felt extremely upset and even sought help from a psychologist, but it didn't help much. How should cerebral palsy be cared for? What should I avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
Premature infants have immature internal organs, poor immune function, low vitality, and are extremely fragile, making them a highly vulnerable group. Experts both domestically and internationally also believe that there are many causes of death for low birth weight infants, primarily intraventricular hemorrhage and pulmonary hyaline membrane disease. Those who survive are often accompanied by neurological developmental defects or intellectual disabilities. Conversely, macrosomia should also be prevented, as its main risks are dystocia and asphyxia, which can similarly damage the central nervous system and lead to the occurrence of cerebral palsy.
