Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Why does the scrotum of a 3-month-old baby turn black and wrinkled?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the condition you described may be localized hyperpigmentation, which is generally not a major issue. If it affects appearance, laser removal treatment can be considered, and the results are quite ideal. At the same time, pay attention to a light diet and avoid alcohol.The normal lateral ventricle size in a fetus should be less than 1 cm. Lateral ventricle widening is mostly caused by excessive cerebrospinal fluid in the fetus. In the later stages of pregnancy, the fetus can usually absorb it on its own. You can have another ultrasound in a few weeks to see if the widening continues.
Additionally, if the lateral ventricle widening is too severe, the doctor may suspect hydrocephalus. Besides ventricle widening, a clear accompanying symptom of hydrocephalus is spina bifida. When you have an ultrasound, ask the doctor to check clearly whether the fetus has spina bifida. If not, the fetus should be healthy.
