Patient's question:
24-week ultrasound showed: The diameter of the lateral ventricle triangle area on the left side of the fetus was 0.47 cm. The size of the fetal stomach bubble was 1.91.0 cm. A 2.8 cm echo continuity interruption was observed in the left diaphragm of the fetus, with the stomach bubble herniating into the left chest cavity. Irregular slightly stronger echoes were seen on the left side of the stomach bubble, measuring 2.61.9 cm, pushing the heart towards the right chest cavity. The size of the right lung was measured as 2.31.8 cm, with a calculated lung-to-head ratio of 1.9. Suggestion: Fetal left diaphragmatic hernia (stomach bubble and intestinal tube herniation possible).Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, it is advisable to conduct regular follow-up checks, including color Doppler ultrasound and screening. If necessary, amniocentesis may be performed. Additionally, maintaining a balanced diet and appropriately supplementing with trace elements is beneficial. Generally, doctors recommend that women with signs of potential genetic risks for healthy reproduction should follow a balanced diet and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods. Furthermore, patients should also pay attention to maintaining a comfortable environment, which is conducive to rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
