Doctor's answer:

Congenital biliary atresia (CBA) is an infantile disease caused by congenital biliary obstruction, which gradually worsens jaundice. It is also a common surgical malformation in infants, characterized by intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary atresia and obstructive jaundice. It is recommended that all women of childbearing age undergo pre-natal genetic screening during pregnancy, avoid getting sick and taking medication in the early stages of pregnancy, and undergo regular prenatal check-ups, seeking medical attention promptly for any abnormal conditions.
Hello, biliary atresia in children belongs to gastrointestinal malformations, some of which are caused by congenital developmental abnormalities. Additionally, exposure to certain viral infections, radiation, and chromosomal abnormalities during pregnancy may contribute to this condition. It is recommended to undergo prenatal examinations during pregnancy to avoid harmful factors. Stay away from smoking, alcohol, radiation, pesticides, noise, and toxic harmful substances.
