Preventing teratogenic effects involves several strategies:
Preconception Care: Women planning to conceive should avoid known teratogens, ensure they are up-to-date on vaccinations, and manage chronic conditions under medical guidance. Prenatal Screening: Regular prenatal visits and screenings can help detect potential issues early, allowing for timely interventions. Education and Awareness: Educating expectant mothers about the risks of teratogens and promoting healthy lifestyle choices can significantly reduce the risk of congenital anomalies.
