What are the causes of fetal malformations?

Excessive consumption of nutritious foods in pregnant women can acidify body fluids, increase the level of catecholamines in the blood, and cause irritability. Sudden temper, sentimentality and other negative emotions lead to an imbalance in hormone secretion in the body, which can easily lead to the development of organs such as cleft lip and cleft palate in the fetus. Radiation exposure is another teratogen that pregnant women are concerned about, and its teratogenic effects often depend on the radiation dose.

X-rays are not sufficient to cause fetal malformations, but the higher the cumulative dose or the closer the ion uterus to the site of irradiation, the higher the risk of malformations.

1. Exposure to some radiation during pregnancy; 2. Keep pets at home during pregnancy; 3. Drinking, smoking, staying up late during pregnancy, etc.; 4. Excessive fatigue or joy and sorrow during pregnancy, excessive sexual life, etc.

The mother's strenuous exercise, spicy food, seafood, and greasy food during pregnancy can lead to fetal malformations, so during pregnancy, mothers must pay attention to these problems.

Some bad habits can cause fetal malformations, what are the factors that cause fetal malformations?

1.Many female friends like to have pets and even experience the feeling of being a mother in advance. But pregnant women are not allowed to have pets.

Because pets, pigs, cats, and dogs have Toxoplasma gondii, pregnant women can be infected with Toxoplasma gondii after exposure, resulting in fetal malformations, miscarriages, and stillbirths after pregnancy. The neurotrophic cells of Toxoplasma gondii can parasitize the brain and invade the central nervous system. The detection rate of toxoplasmosis in mentally ill and mentally handicapped children is significantly higher than that of the general population.

As a result, Toxoplasma gondii can cause malformations of fetal development.

2.Damage caused by radioactivity, which generally occurs when the mother has been exposed to some radioactive materials in the first trimester. For example, some pregnant mothers are often exposed to radioactive materials due to the nature of their work.

Previously, a young pregnant mother in Ma Baoqun said that she was very worried about this, but fortunately, this pregnant mother has not been in contact for a long time, and after a regular doctor's examination, she also gave reasonable advice. Frequent exposure can easily cause fetal malformations. If exposed occasionally, the effect on the fetus is not particularly large.

Similarly, for pregnant women, if prepared, do not come into contact with radioactive materials during the six months of preparing for pregnancy.

3.Hereditary diseases or birth defects, if one or both parents have family members: genetic diseases, birth defects, mental retardation, etc.

Or suffering from some chronic diseases and inbreeding, etc. The fetus is also prone to malformations, so it is recommended to go to the hospital for some relevant genetic counseling before pregnancy.

4.Drinking and smoking often during pregnancy, after a large amount of alcohol in pregnant women, it will be transmitted to the baby's body through digestion and absorption, blood circulation, causing great harm to the baby's sensitive body, and hundreds of harmful chemicals contained in tobacco can easily cause the baby's malformation.

5.The living habits of the couple and the bad habits of women also have a great impact on the fetus. For example, bad habits such as smoking and drinking during pregnancy may directly lead to fetal malformations.

When expectant mothers are emotionally stressed during pregnancy, adrenocorticosteroids may prevent the fusion of certain tissues in the embryo. If it occurs in the first trimester of pregnancy, it can cause deformities such as a cleft lip or palate. Therefore, pregnant mothers should learn to control their emotions and keep a cool head.

Many pregnant mothers do not want to eat because of severe morning sickness, or develop the habit of picky eating and anorexia, which can easily lead to malnutrition, and the lack of vitamins in pregnant women can also easily lead to fetal neural tube defects. Can cause fetal malformations.

Smoking: Smoking in pregnant women is one of the causes of fetal development and fetal malformations, because cigarettes contain a large amount of nicotine, which can inhibit fetal growth, induce gene mutations and lead to fetal malformations;

Alcohol consumption: Pregnant women who drink alcohol or drink too much alcohol can increase the risk of fetal malformations. The presence of fetal alcohol syndrome may result in multiple malformations, delayed physical growth, and mental retardation in the newborn;

Folic acid deficiency: Lack of folic acid in pregnant women can easily lead to fetal neural tube defects, women who are trying to conceive should start taking folic acid tablets 1 month before pregnancy and stop taking them after 3 months of pregnancy;

4.Rubella virus: The rubella virus can cause fetal infection through the placenta during early pregnancy, causing congenital rubella syndrome. Newborns may have conditions such as congenital cataracts, microcephaly, mental retardation, and deafness;

If you always don't eat on time, always like to order takeout and eat junk food, and like to touch computers and electronic products in your life, this may lead to abnormal development of the fetus; There are many reasons that affect fetal malformations, such as genes, such as the mother's bad habits, which may lead to fetal malformations, and if the mother has been in a negative mood, it will also lead to fetal malformations.
