How can we better prevent cerebral palsy in children?

Patient's question:

Children with cerebral palsy often have poor motor balance and may also have low intelligence, which brings endless pressure to families and society. The quality of life for the patients themselves is also low. Therefore, I have always believed that prevention is key. As for how to do it specifically? How can we prevent the birth of children with cerebral palsy?

Doctor's answer:

Cerebral palsy, also known as CP, typically refers to a group of central motor disorders caused by abnormal brain development resulting from non-progressive brain damage or various causes from birth to one month after birth. Strengthening prenatal care in the early stages of pregnancy can prevent damage to embryonic development caused by various harmful factors; further improving obstetric techniques can reduce brain ischemia and hypoxia damage caused by birth injuries and asphyxia. Additionally, strengthening neonatal care and the prevention and treatment of diseases such as neonatal hypoglycemia, acidosis, jaundice, and severe infections.
