The so-called cerebral palsy is a disorder of the nervous and muscular systems. Children suffering from the disease have permanent movement and posture that can be improved but generally effective.
The cause appears to be the medical action
Researchers have now discovered that the process increased compared with natural conception, the risk of the child for cerebral palsy. This risk is based not on a Danish study found that the sexual problems of the parents, but apparently on the medical procedure. The doctors at the University of Aarhus, however, emphasize that the absolute risk of an artificially conceived babies for brain injury is very low.
Fertility has no effect on brain injury
The fact that children suffer after artificial fertilization more of a cerebral palsy, doctors know more. However, some researchers speculated that this could be due to the fertility problems of the parents. This assumption is contradicted by the analysis of more than 90,000 births. Whether the parents a pregnancy achieved quickly or only after more than a year, influenced the risk is not for later cerebral palsy. Hence, the epidemiologists that a lower fertility has no effect on brain injury.
However, was low even after artificial fertilization, the risk, and the researchers written in the journal Human Reproduction. The study of 176 suffered a cerebral palsy babies sired this way. The risk drops significantly again when the mother planted only a single embryo and thus a multiple pregnancy is avoided.
