Patient's question:
I have hypophosphatemic rickets. I want to know if this condition can affect my ability to have children, whether it can be inherited to my child, or if it is not hereditary. If it is possible, what precautions should I take?Doctor's answer:
Low-phosphorus rickets is mainly caused by dietary factors and abnormal fetal growth and development: This disease is never inherited across generations, but you need to undergo better physical examinations during the pregnancy of your second child. After the child is born, special attention must be paid to the digestion of this trace element. If vitamin D is taken as vitamin D2, high doses of vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 must be administered orally or via intramuscular injection, or 1α-(OH)D3 or 1,25(OH)2D3 can be used.
