Patient's question:
I am currently 26 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Last week, which was 25 weeks and 3 days into my pregnancy, I had a 4D ultrasound. The doctor said everything else was normal, but there was no visible normal gallbladder structure in the gallbladder area. Over the past few days, I have visited again, and in total, I have been examined about five times. Each time, the doctors said they couldn’t see the gallbladder. I am wondering what could cause the 4D ultrasound to show no gallbladder?Doctor's answer:
Generally, a 4D ultrasound is most clear at the 22 to 26 weeks of pregnancy, because at this time, the fetus has the maximum activity in the uterine cavity. 4D ultrasound can capture every movement of the fetus in the uterine cavity, so it is also the clearest. If you have done 5 times and haven't seen the fetal gallbladder, this proves that the fetus has poor congenital growth and development. In this case, it is recommended that you be cautious. For severe 4D ultrasound cases, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible, and to follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Do not blindly use medication.
