Patient's question:
Every pregnant woman fears preterm labor, and it can lead to many bad consequences. I want to know what diseases preterm infants may have?Doctor's answer:
The most serious problem faced by premature infants is the potential for cerebral palsy. This issue is a bit harsh. Many parents consider this disease to be idiotic. In fact, the intelligence of most children is normal, but the children may exhibit motor disorders and abnormal postures. The incidence rate of cerebral palsy is 2-3%, and the incidence rate in premature infants is approximately 2%. However, if treatment can begin after the child is born, in many cases, the child will not have any sequelae.
