Doctors For Spina Bifida In Attock

Spina bifida meaning in Urdu is "ریڑھ کی ہڈی کی پیدائشی خرابی". It is a birth defect in which the spine and spinal cord do not form properly during the first month of pregnancy. The spinal cord is a key part of the nervous system, and any damage to it can affect movement, feeling, bladder control, and bowel control.

Spina bifida ranges from very mild forms that cause no problems to severe forms that need surgery soon after birth. The most common type, called spina bifida occulta, is so mild that many people never know they have it. The most severe type is called myelomeningocele. Folic acid taken before and during early pregnancy greatly reduces the risk of this condition.
