How to prevent infantile hemangioma during pregnancy

During pregnancy, measures such as avoiding adverse environmental exposures, maintaining balanced nutrition, managing underlying medical conditions, avoiding medication misuse, and taking proper prenatal precautions can help reduce the risk of infantile hemangioma. If any abnormal symptoms occur during pregnancy or there are concerns about fetal health, prompt medical consultation is recommended.

1. Avoid adverse environmental exposures: Pregnant women should avoid prolonged exposure to chemicals (such as paint, pesticides) and radioactive substances, minimizing contact with environmental pollutants. These factors may interfere with fetal blood vessel development and increase the likelihood of hemangioma formation; therefore, appropriate environmental protection is essential.

2. Maintain balanced nutritional intake: Ensure sufficient intake of protein, vitamins (such as vitamin C and folic acid), and minerals. Avoid picky eating habits. Folic acid supports healthy development of the fetal neural tube and vascular system, while balanced nutrition provides a fundamental basis for healthy fetal growth.

3. Manage underlying medical conditions: For pregnant women with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes or hypertension, it is important to actively control these conditions under medical supervision. Abnormal blood glucose or blood pressure levels may disrupt normal fetal vascular differentiation and increase the risk of vascular abnormalities. Regular monitoring of these health indicators is necessary.

4. Avoid medication misuse: All medications during pregnancy should be taken strictly as prescribed by a physician. Avoid self-administering hormonal drugs or unverified supplements, as certain medications may affect fetal vascular development. Always consult a doctor before taking any medication to ensure its safety for use during pregnancy.

5. Practice proper prenatal protection: Prevent physical trauma and abdominal impacts during pregnancy, avoid excessive pressure on the abdomen, maintain a regular sleep schedule, and avoid overexertion. A healthy and stable prenatal condition helps minimize external disruptions to fetal development and supports optimal fetal growth.

Routine prenatal care should include maintaining emotional well-being, reducing anxiety and stress, attending regular check-ups as advised by healthcare providers, monitoring fetal movements, and engaging in mild physical activities (such as walking) to strengthen immunity and create a favorable environment for fetal development.
