Question
My son is three years old and has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. I am healthy, I do not smoke, drink alcohol, or use drugs. Why does he have cerebral palsy?
Answer
The most common cause of cerebral palsy is birth asphyxia. It is recommended to conduct prenatal examinations well, pay attention to fetal movements and heart rate every day, and seek medical assistance at any time if there are abnormalities in the later stages of pregnancy. Congenital developmental disorders are also one of the causes of cerebral palsy. Various internal and external environmental factors, such as severe early nutritional deficiencies, infections, injuries, and radiation, may lead to cerebral palsy. Therefore, it is recommended to seek active treatment for better results.
