Question
My uncle’s child is congenitally mentally retarded. Will my child also be mentally retarded? Does this disease have a hereditary risk across generations?
Answer
Hello! Children with congenital mental retardation may be related to fetal developmental abnormalities, brain damage, or viral infections caused by intrauterine hypoxia. If it is due to congenital developmental abnormalities, it is difficult to treat, but if it is due to hypoxic brain damage, timely early intervention and persistent treatment can still lead to better recovery. How old is the child? It’s best to go to a cerebral palsy rehabilitation center for diagnosis and treatment. Combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine with acupuncture treatment.
