Patient's question:
At 22 weeks of pregnancy, I had a 4D ultrasound which showed that the fetal double kidney fusion system was fused. The left side was about 0.35 cm wide, and the right side was about 0.48 cm wide. At the time, I asked the ultrasound doctor, and they said there was no major problem. However, when I showed the ultrasound report to the doctor who ordered the 4D ultrasound, they recommended amniocentesis, which scared my wife so much that she started crying. Is this situation very serious?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is possible that your baby may have urinary system abnormalities, but it is not absolute. There is a normal range, and your baby's values are all within the normal range. It is recommended to wait and see for now. You should not be too anxious. This fusion may be due to your baby holding back urine during the ultrasound. It is suggested that you undergo regular prenatal check-ups for anomaly screening. For severe cases of 4D ultrasound, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately. Follow the doctor's advice for immediate treatment and avoid taking medication blindly, as it may worsen the condition. The above opinions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
