Cleft Lip and Palate _ Cleft Lip and Palate Face

Rabbit lip is also called cleft lip in medicine, which is a congenital lip deformity. Because congenital cleft lip and palate is the most common congenital malformation in oral and maxillofacial region, one newborn in every 1000 children will have rabbit lips on average. Medically, it is believed that the reason for the appearance of rabbit lips is that some negative factors lead to the hypoplasia or obstacles of the baby's face during pregnancy.

hereditary factor

The genetic factors are quite large. In one fifth of families, if parents or the older generation have rabbit lips, the chances of newborns suffering from rabbit lips are one fifth.

Infection factors

If you have been infected with viruses, such as influenza and rubella, or suffered some kind of injury in the early stage of pregnancy, it will also cause facial dysplasia in the baby and cause harelip phenomenon.

Nutritional factor

During pregnancy, because of severe vomiting or partial eclipse, a large number of vitamins A and E can not be absorbed normally, so the lack of these two vitamins in women can also cause the baby's rabbit lips.

Improper medication

Women have bad medication experience during pregnancy, which may also lead to the occurrence of rabbit lips. For example, taking sedatives, antiallergic drugs or antiepileptic drugs.

radioactive rays

When pregnant, if you are exposed to radioactive substances for a long time, it will also cause rabbit lips. Especially those who are exposed to X-rays very frequently, you must be careful.
