Patient's question:
Six months pregnant, I went to the hospital for a four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound. The results showed a strong echo spot in the left ventricle of the fetus, suggesting prenatal diagnosis, and a high S/D ratio in the umbilical artery, which was clinically diagnosed.Doctor's answer:
Sometimes, during a careful ultrasound examination of the fetal left ventricle, strong echo spots may be detected. This could also be a case where a certain ultrasound finding does not necessarily indicate a heart problem. If you are not reassured, further tests such as a fetal heart MRI or amniocentesis can be performed. An elevated s/d value in umbilical blood flow may suggest insufficient placental reserve function, and the fetus may be at risk of aspiration. Therefore, it is essential to monitor the fetal heart rate closely. For severe cases of 4D ultrasound, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blind medication, as it may worsen the condition.
