Polio refers to the symptoms of muscle atrophy, limb weakness, joint deformity, and difficulty in movement that occur after the patient is infected with the polio virus. This disease will seriously affect the patient's normal activities and life, and is more likely to affect the patient's life safety. Let's take a look at how polio is caused. 1. As mentioned above, polio occurs because the patient is infected with the polio virus, which can be transmitted through the digestive tract. If food containing the virus enters the human body through the mouth, it will then enter the blood circulation and cause lesions. 2. Polio is a highly contagious disease. The polio virus can survive in the patient's oropharynx or feces for a long time. If you come into contact with water or other items contaminated by the patient's feces, you may contract polio. 3. The occurrence of polio is also somewhat hereditary. This disease is more common in many families, and members may develop the disease one after another after many years. 4. Some people who have undergone tonsillectomy have a higher risk of developing polio than those who have not had their tonsils removed. Through the above understanding of how polio is caused, in short, polio is caused by the patient being infected with the polio virus through various channels. If you have polio, the patient's normal sitting, lying and standing are hindered, and you can't take care of yourself, which brings great pain to the patient and his family. Therefore, when the child is young, parents must take the child to get the vaccination according to the time regulations, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of polio. |
