Infantile spasms are related to radiation during pregnancy

The one and a half year old baby can't smile yet. Experts from the Children's Hospital found yesterday that the culprit was the computer: the baby suffered from infantile spasms as a result of the mother's excessive use of computers, photocopiers and other radiation equipment during pregnancy. Ms. Chen from Mianyang introduced that her son, who is one and a half years old, will be called "father" and "mother", and everything seems normal. But recently, children can only lie in bed without talking or laughing. It is even difficult for them to sit up. The doctor said that the child had experienced mental regression.

Ms. Chen recalled that when the child was 10 months old, he occasionally twitched. The family didn't care much at that time, but took him to a nearby hospital for a brief look. Recently, children have more and more convulsions, and the time is getting longer and longer. Sometimes three or four times a day, each time for more than ten minutes, the fist is tightly clenched, and the expression looks very painful. After the neurology examination, the doctor diagnosed that the child had infantile spasm.

Infantile spasm is a kind of epilepsy syndrome that occurs in infancy. Frequent spasms will affect children's intellectual development. It is reported that the incidence of this disease accounts for one in three to four thousand infants, and children's hospitals receive many such children every year. It is generally caused by congenital birth injury, virus infection, trauma, heredity, etc.

Ms. Chen said that she was healthy and paid great attention to all kinds of nutrition and health care during pregnancy. I don't know why the child got this disease. Through careful understanding, it is found that the child's infantile spasm has a lot to do with Ms. Chen's long exposure to computers and photocopiers during pregnancy.

Ms. Chen said that she was the secretary of a water supply company, and her daily job was to sit in front of the computer and do reports and drawings. Ms. Chen recalled that she was busy with several projects at the beginning of her pregnancy, and she used to type on the company's old computer every day. Go home at night and watch all kinds of pregnancy knowledge on the Internet.

Professor Liang said that being exposed to computers, photocopiers and other radiation sources for such a long time was very harmful to pregnant women. Especially in the first four months of pregnancy, which is the period of differentiation and development of fetal brain cells, long-term interference from radiation, ultrasound, etc., is very easy to cause gene mutations in the fetal brain. Therefore, pregnant women should be reminded that during pregnancy, especially in the first four months, they should try to use less Internet access, less photocopiers, etc. In addition, they should also pay attention to avoid decoration pollution.
