Actors Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover became parents in November last year. People gave a lot of love and affection to his daughter Devi on social media. Meanwhile, in an interview, Bipasha shared a lot of information about her daughter's health. After the actress revealed that her daughter was born with two holes in her heart, Bipasha got emotional while revealing that the child underwent open heart surgery when she was three months old. It was suggested to them that the baby should be scanned every month to know whether the piercing is healing on its own.
The doctors warned him that the holes were so large that they would not heal on their own. Let us know why this problem of a hole in the heart occurs and what measures can be taken to prevent it.
Hole in the heart
A hole in the heart known as a ventricular septal defect (ASD) is a hole in the heart wall (septum) that separates the two lower chambers (ventricles). This wall is also called the ventricular septum.
Health experts say, in most cases, this danger is congenital, and it is considered necessary to treat it in time, otherwise it can lead to the risk of many types of heart-related problems.
Ventricular septal defect problem
Health experts explain Ventricular septal defect is a problem during pregnancy that occurs when the wall between the two ventricles does not develop completely, leaving a hole at this location. In children with a ventricular septal defect, blood flows from the left ventricle to the right ventricle and lungs.
In this condition, this extra blood being pumped into the lungs can cause the heart and lungs to work harder. Over time, if left untreated, this defect can increase the risk of a variety of other complications.
Why does this heart problem happen?
The causes of heart defects (such as ventricular septal defects) in most babies are not well understood. Some babies may have these types of heart problems because of changes in their genes or chromosomes. It is also believed that the things a mother is exposed to in the environment, what she eats, and what she eats can also put her at risk of developing such heart-related problems.
How to know the child has this kind of problem
Children with congenital heart defects may have to face a variety of problems. In many children, its symptoms are not visible at the time of birth. If the hole is small, it will usually close on its own and the baby will not show any symptoms of the defect, although if the hole is large, it can lead to a variety of health problems.
If the child is having difficulty breathing or breathing rapidly, there is a problem of excessive sweating or the body weight is not increasing, then such symptoms need serious attention.
