Cleft lip and palate is a kind of congenital disease. It is also called cleft lip or harelip. Generally, men are more likely to get sick than women. Cleft lip and palate can be divided into cleft lip or cleft palate. Now let's talk about why cleft lip and palate.

Why cleft lip and palate

First, the physiological state of the mother in the first three months of pregnancy is very important for the development of the fetus. During this period, the mother suffers from virus infection, such as rubella, influenza, etc., or takes some drugs, such as cortisone, diphenhydramine, etc., or receives radioactive substances. These factors can make embryonic cells mutate and increase the incidence of cleft lip and palate.

Second: some mothers who have given birth to children with cleft lip and palate were investigated. Some mothers had obvious deficiency of calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B, vitamin C and vitamin D due to pregnant vomiting or partial diet in early pregnancy. So the lack of nutrition in early pregnancy may be one of the predisposing factors.

Third: drugs and chemical factors. Nowadays, human beings use a lot of chemical substances, such as drugs, food additives, condiments, cosmetics, and so on. In addition, the increasingly serious industrial pollution in human living environment, such as the atmosphere and water, may affect human living environment, damage human health, and even induce human embryonic development deformity.
