Patient's question:
I have a friend whose husband and wife are quite normal, but after the birth of their child, the child was diagnosed with galactosemia. Now I am pregnant and want to know how to prevent galactosemia?Doctor's answer:
Galactosemia is a hereditary metabolic disorder, primarily inherited through generations. However, if the mother is at high risk, attention should be paid. For example, it is necessary to interfere with the intake of lactose and other galactose-containing foods to prevent harm to the fetus. Then, it is essential to maintain a normal lifestyle and ensure a balanced and nutritious diet. In daily life, avoid spicy and irritating foods and do not overexert yourself.
