Question
Doctor, I’ve been feeling mentally unwell since last week, and I suspect there might be a problem. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with pediatric hydrocephalus. What should I pay attention to in my daily life?
Answer
Common causes of hydrocephalus include excessive secretion of cerebrospinal fluid, obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid absorption, and blockage of the cerebrospinal fluid circulation pathway. It is recommended that patients undergo medical examinations and, in their daily lives, avoid contact with chemical substances, radiation, and radioactive elements. They should also avoid early pregnancy fever, certain traditional Chinese medicines, abortifacient drugs, and fetal medications, as well as abnormal fetal positions and excessive amniotic fluid.
