CEGAH SPINA BIFIDA

Apa itu Spina Bifida?
Secara literalnya, spina bifida bermaksud "split spine - tulang belakang yg terpisah". Terjadi apabila bayi dalam kandungan dan kolum tulang belakang tidak tertutup habis.

Apa yang boleh dilakukan utk prevent Spina Bifida?
Wanita yang usianya cukup tua utk mengandung seharusnya mengambil asid folik sebelum dan semasa mengandung (especially first three months of pregnancy)

The Spina Bifida Association asks women to take a vitamin with 400 mcg (0.4 mg) of folic acid each day during the years of their lives when they are possibly able to have children.

Wanita yg mempunyai anak atau adik-beradik dengan Spina Bifida, atau kandungan pernah mengalami komplikasi atau diri sendiri mempunyai Spina Bifida, mereka sendiri perlu mengambil 4000 mcg (4.0 mg) of folic acid for one to three months before and during the first three months of pregnancy.

What is folic acid?Folic acid is a vitamin that the body needs to grow and be healthy. It is found in many foods, but the man-made or synthetic form in pills is actually better absorbed by our bodies.
