What causes hydrocephalus? How can I prevent hydrocephalus?

Hydrocephalus is also a relatively common disease in our daily life, but many people are not very familiar with this disease. So what exactly causes brain water? I believe many people don't understand, so let's take a look at what kind of disease hydrocephalus is, what causes it, and how to proceed after having hydrocephalus.

and how to prevent hydrocephalus in our daily lives. <>

There are many reasons for the formation of hydrocephalus, the first is congenital malformation, if it is hydrocephalus caused by congenital malformations, it is best to go to the hospital as soon as possible**, which is also a situation that cannot be prevented. The second is that the fetus also has a bacterial infection in the uterus, because the fetus has no resistance in the pregnant woman's womb, so if there is a virus or bacteria, it is easy to get infected and cause hydrocephalus. Fibrohyperplasia caused by intracranial hemorrhage is also predisposed to lead to malabsorption leading to intracerebral hemorrhage.

If there is a tumor in the brain, it is also very easy to cause hydrocephalus, or some other genetic factors can also easily cause newborn vitamin A deficiency and cerebral hemorrhage. Cerebral hemorrhage is generally manifested in an increase in head circumference, if the head circumference of the newborn is relatively large and the proportion of the body is very discordant, then you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to check whether it is caused by hydrocephalus. Because hydrocephalus causes an increase in cerebrospinal fluid in the skull, hydrocephalus generally feels very heavy, and if the newborn's head keeps drooping and there is no way to lift it, it is likely to be caused by hydrocephalus.

If the patient's hair is very thin, and there is a dehiscence in the cranial suture with the eyeball pushing downward, this also indicates the presence of hydrocephalus. If hydrocephalus is more severe, it is easy to cause vision loss, even blindness, and nerves will slowly atrophy, and if it takes a long time, it may cause mental decline. At the same time, hydrocephalus can also make people lose energy, get angry easily, and sometimes have convulsions.

Congenital malformations, infections, and trauma are all prone to cause hydrocephalus, and if you want to prevent this, pay attention to physical examination when you are pregnant, and then pay attention to ** after trauma, so that you can prevent it.

Congenital malformations, such as medication during pregnancy, abnormal fetal position, etc., lead to congenital spina bifida, midbrain aqueduct stenosis, etc., resulting in obstruction of the circulation channel of cerebrospinal fluid and the formation of hydrocephalus. Pregnant women should not take other drugs during pregnancy, and they should not have irregular work and rest.

1. Strengthen early prenatal diagnosis and early termination of pregnancy to prevent the birth of children with hydrocephalus.

Early prenatal diagnosis of hydrocephalus fetus is the most important way to prevent the birth of a baby with hydrocephalus, if the hydrocephalus is more serious, it can be detected by ultrasound at 12 weeks to 18 weeks of pregnancy, and the pregnancy must be terminated in time.

2. Publicize eugenics knowledge and reduce parity.

Some data show that the risk of fetal hydrocephalus is actually directly related to the number of pregnancies of pregnant women, and the more pregnancies, the higher the risk of fetal hydrocephalus, so we must do a good job in promoting eugenics.

3. Advocate childbearing at an appropriate age.

There is also a 25 to 29-year-old pregnant mother Wu Que Pei Ma gave birth to the lowest risk of hydrocephalus, and if women give birth after the age of 30, then the incidence of hydrocephalus malformation will be higher and higher, so it is best for women to give birth to babies at the right age.

Fourth, we should strengthen eugenic education and improve the cultural quality of the population.

The lower the education level of pregnant women, the higher the incidence of hydrocephalus, especially the prevalence of illiterate and semi-literate offspring is the highest, so it is necessary to improve the health quality of the population, and it is necessary to strengthen the eugenics of the masses, and pregnant women should also have a good sense of self-care.

5. Safe production, beware of suffocation and birth injury.

When pregnant women give birth, try to choose a hospital with better conditions, and must not delay the birth during the delivery process to avoid sudden fetal asphyxia, which is an important part of preventing the occurrence of perinatal hydrocephalus.

Pediatric hydrocephalus is relatively high, pregnant women should be prepared for prenatal when pregnant, during pregnancy can not be and Ming and take some drugs that are not conducive to fetal development, if the pregnant woman herself has a disease, it should be carried out in time**, and should have a good living habits, which can effectively prevent hydrocephalus.

Yes; Before pregnancy, you should do some work to prepare for pregnancy, supplement folic acid with more pants, try to prepare for better health and fertility, have more prenatal checkups when you are pregnant, choose to terminate pregnancy when you find a problem, keep a cheerful mood during pregnancy, eat more fruits and vegetables, and pay attention to nutritional supplements.

When the child is young, it is indeed a period of high incidence of hydrocephalus. If you want to prevent it effectively, you need to let your child sleep more, and you must also take your child for physical examination and training, and you must let your child eat normally.

Normally, intracranial cerebrospinal fluid is constantly produced and absorbed, maintaining a dynamic equilibrium; In the event of excessive production and/or impaired resorptive reflux, the ventricular system or/or subarachnoid space will accumulate large amounts of cerebrospinal fluid and enlarge, resulting in hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is a phenomenon in which cerebrospinal fluid is overproduced or the absorption cycle is blocked, resulting in excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles and subarachnoid space.
