Patient's question:
My child is a premature baby. Premature babies may have problems when they grow up. Will premature babies have defects when they grow older?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, for example, premature infants came into this world a few days ago due to some special reasons. At this time, their organs are not yet mature, and they often need the support of neonatal medical staff to help them overcome many difficulties, such as breathing, feeding, infection, jaundice, circulation, and neurological damage. Particularly for infants born before 32 weeks or those with very low birth weight, cerebral palsy is often caused by early brain disease and intracranial hemorrhage. Heart dysfunction can lead to prolonged jaundice, and bilirubin encephalopathy may become severe.
