Echogenicity enhancement of fetal intestinal tract

Patient's question:

Echogenicity enhancement of fetal intestines, detected in two ultrasound examinations! The echo intensity is Grade 1, how is this grade measured?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: There are many reasons for the increased return of fetal intestines. Some are due to meconium retention or gas production, which are physiological manifestations; however, others are caused by gastrointestinal malformations or other chromosomal abnormalities. If it reaches level three, it should be taken seriously.
Advice: Avoid excessive anxiety and undergo appropriate follow-up examinations. If the increased echoes are caused by gastrointestinal malformations, they are usually accompanied by intestinal enlargement. Pay special attention to this during follow-up.
