Patient's question:
Now the legs don't like to move, a bit like paralysis, and also don't like to stand. Additional: The child used a walker for more than half a year. Is it possible that this symptom is not congenital?Doctor's answer:
There is such a possibility, but the possibility is very small. The risk factors for cerebral palsy are premature birth, congenital injuries, asphyxia, and jaundice. Specifically, during pregnancy, if the mother is infected with a virus, exposed to poisoning, X-ray radiation, trauma, smoking, or alcoholism, it may affect the development of the central nervous system of the fetus, which may lead to cerebral palsy or other deformities. If there are complications during delivery, birth injuries, or asphyxia, it may also cause cerebral palsy. In the first month after birth, infants grow and develop rapidly, but their ability to adapt to the environment is very poor, making them highly susceptible to diseases such as certain infections or poisoning, which can also lead to neurological damage and cerebral palsy. Treatment and rehabilitation must be done frequently, and then, observe the developments.
