Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Guo Huijie
Cleft lip and cleft palate may result from the following factors affecting embryonic development during the first three months of pregnancy. For example, if a pregnant woman lacks vitamin A, vitamin B2, folic acid, or pantothenic acid, the fetus may develop cleft lip or cleft palate. Increased secretion of adrenal corticosteroids in pregnant women can also trigger cleft lip and cleft palate in the fetus. For specific medication use, please consult a professional doctor and make decisions based on individual circumstances under medical guidance.
