Question
Will pediatric cerebral palsy be inherited?
Answer
Pediatric cerebral palsy is a non-progressive disease. After the onset of the disease, the damaged brain tissue is likely to be repaired through treatment. Therefore, cerebral palsy in children can be healed in the usual sense. With active treatment, the physical functions of children with cerebral palsy can be greatly improved and developed. Children with cerebral palsy can marry after treatment and growth. Generally speaking, the offspring of children with cerebral palsy do not have cerebral palsy, except for those with familial spastic paraplegia. However, according to medical research, the occurrence of pediatric cerebral palsy is related to many factors, such as infections during pregnancy, maternal diseases, neonatal asphyxia, and neonatal jaundice. Therefore, the reason why a child develops cerebral palsy may be related to genetic factors. To prevent pediatric cerebral palsy, it is recommended to maintain good health during pregnancy and avoid exposure to infections and other hazardous factors.
