Currently, there is no known way to prevent a CDH. Early and regular prenatal care during pregnancy is important to help detect the problem before birth. This allows for proper planning and care before, during, and after delivery.
Some basic preventive measures that can help you avoid an ADH include:
Driving safely and always wearing a seat belt.
Avoiding activities that make you prone to significant blunt injuries to the chest or abdomen, such as extreme sports.
Limiting alcohol and avoiding drug use which can make you more prone to accidents.
Exercising caution around sharp objects, such as knives and scissors.
