Here, we provide more information about this pathology and how it can be prevented.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Why does occur <\/b><b>spina bifida<\/b><b>?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The neural tube is a structure that forms in the early stages of pregnancy and eventually gives rise to the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord. When it does not properly close in the area that forms the spinal column, can affect mobility. The severity and symptoms of <\/span><b>spina bifida<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can vary widely depending on the location and degree of the opening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Types<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several types of <\/span><b>spina bifida<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Espina B\u00edfida<\/b><b> Oculta:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The opening in the spine is small and there is no visible anomaly. It often does not cause symptoms and may go unnoticed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Meningocele:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In this variant, a sac of cerebrospinal fluid and membranes covering the spinal cord (called meninges) protrude through the opening in the spine, but the spinal cord itself is not exposed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Mielomeningocele:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the most severe form of <\/span><b>spina bifida<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> because the spinal cord and meninges protrude through the opening of the spine. This can cause damage to the spinal cord and lead to neurological disabilities.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>How to prevent it?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>spina bifida<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a congenital condition, meaning it develops during pregnancy and cannot be completely prevented. However, some measures can be taken before and during pregnancy to reduce the risk of developing this anomaly, such as ensuring an adequate intake of folic acid. Additionally, receiving early and regular<\/span><b> prenatal care<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is essential.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <\/span><b>assisted reproduction<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> genetic tests such as <\/span><b>PGTA<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be performed to detect chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo to increase the likelihood of a healthy pregnancy. These analyses aim to rule out genetic defects before embryo transfer, providing certainty of having a healthy baby.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there is a family history of <\/span><b>spina bifida<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or if you want to ensure that your baby is developing under the best conditions, it is important to consult a professional for advice and specialized care. At <\/span><b>Procrea<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we offer genetic studies that can help detect abnormalities, and our <\/span><b>maternal-fetal <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">specialist will support you throughout your pregnancy journey.
