What to do if thalassemia causes fetal malformation

Thalassemia is a disease that harms the fetus. Therefore, when a pregnant woman with a big belly finds out that she has thalassemia after a blood test, she often becomes depressed. After all, most patients can easily develop the disease during infancy. Once it has been confirmed that the child is deformed, should the pregnancy continue if the fetus is deformed due to thalassemia?

Symptoms include anemia, weakness, abdominal lumps, developmental delay, etc. Severe cases often result in growth retardation and death before adulthood. Mild and intermediate cases can generally live to adulthood and participate in labor. If they pay attention to labor conservation and diet and daily life, they can reduce complications and improve symptoms. The main reasons are insufficient endowment and weak kidney qi. Kidney is the foundation of the innate constitution. If kidney essence is not sufficient, there will be no source of life and metabolism. "A child's hard work comes from being in the mother's womb." It can be seen that "child labor" is closely related to parents. Insufficient kidney essence will also affect the acquired spleen and stomach functions and growth and development. Over time, it will lead to the deterioration of blood and qi, and symptoms such as jaundice and accumulation will appear, resulting in this mixed syndrome of deficiency and excess.

If the doctor clearly states that the fetus is deformed, it is best not to have the baby. Although it is very cruel, can you imagine how much suffering a deformed child will suffer if he is born into this society? Let me tell you a true story that happened to me. There was a boy who could only sit in a wheelchair since he was born, waiting for his parents to help him with eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. Now he is 33 years old. His parents sometimes push him to the side of the road to bask in the sun. When he sees girls passing by, he will laugh foolishly. Can you imagine, what will happen to the child if the parents get old? He is 33 now. Can you say that he doesn't want to live a normal life? Study, start a career, get married, and have children. . . If you must keep the child, you can take care of the child while you are alive, but what if you die? Who will take care of him? Let him fend for himself? ?

Warm reminder: Sometimes, if the fetus is deformed due to thalassemia, it would be prudent to want to continue the pregnancy. In fact, a short pain is worse than a long pain. For the future of the child and the healthy development of the family, it is recommended to have an abortion. Don't give in to momentary reluctance and cause more regrets.
