Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Fetal alcohol syndrome is a set of physical, growth, and developmental changes that can appear in a baby who was exposed to alcohol during pregnancy. It is a preventable condition directly related to alcohol consumption during gestation.
Possible manifestations: low birth weight, characteristic facial features, learning difficulties, attention problems, and developmental delays.
Prevention: since no safe amount of alcohol during pregnancy is known, avoiding it completely is the most effective measure.
Which specialists are involved? The gynecologist supports and provides guidance during pregnancy, while the pediatrician evaluates and follows up on the child's development. If you are pregnant or planning to be, talking with these professionals about alcohol use is a valuable step in caring for the baby's health.
