Question

We are soon-to-be parents and are pregnant. To ensure our baby’s health, we want to learn more about related knowledge. We have witnessed the difficulties faced by families with cerebral palsy patients and want to know how to prevent pediatric cerebral palsy.

Answer

If you notice any abnormal symptoms of cerebral palsy in a child, seek medical assistance immediately. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment along with comprehensive rehabilitation measures can give some children a chance to achieve basic recovery. To prevent pediatric cerebral palsy, pregnant women should regularly undergo prenatal examinations, and women of childbearing age who have serious diseases or are exposed to teratogenic substances (such as toxins, chemicals, radiation, etc.) should avoid pregnancy.
