Prenatal diethylstilbestrol (DES) exposure causes the malformation of the uterus and other reproductive tract abnormalities in DES daughters. Such malformation of the uterus and incompetency of the cervix can cause the premature expulsion of a child (DES grandson or grand-daughter) from the womb with resultant birth defects. In addition, many DES daughters suffer from infertility or sub-fertility and relied on the aid of fertility treatments that may lead to further complications. An example would be a twin pregnancy resulting from Clomid treatment for a DES daughter. Abnormal prenatal development of the twins ensues in the DES-impacted uterus, eventually ending in premature delivery and cerebral palsy in the children. DES third-generation birth defects could be varied, most common include:
- Extreme premature delivery injuries
- Cerebral palsy
- Brain damage
- Quadriplegia
- Learning disorders
- Developmental disabilities
Often, the developmental injuries may not become apparent until the child ages and fails to reach developmental milestones.
