What to do about enhanced echo in the intestinal tract

Patient's question:

On Thursday, the 26th, the 4D ultrasound showed enhanced echoes of the fetal intestines. NT and glucose screening were normal, and the eight tests and B19 were also normal. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Echo enhancement of fetal intestinal tubes is often accompanied by dilatation of the upper intestinal segments or an increase in amniotic fluid, which generally suggests congenital intestinal obstruction. Based on your current test results, there is only echo enhancement of the intestinal tubes, with no abnormalities in amniotic fluid or other intestines, making it unlikely that there are any abnormalities. It is recommended to wait and see, and have a follow-up examination after some time to check if there are any changes in the intestinal echo.
Recommendation: You can visit a specialized gynecology and obstetrics hospital for another check-up. If the results remain the same, please closely monitor the fetal development and consult a pediatrician.
