What should I do if the ultrasound shows that the lateral ventricle of the fetus is slightly widened?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Under normal circumstances, the fetal ventricles widen as gestational age increases before 32 weeks and narrow after 32 weeks, with a maximum width of 13.4 mm. A width greater than 15 mm can be preliminarily diagnosed as mild hydrocephalus. There is no need to be overly concerned about this situation. Follow medical advice for regular follow-up ultrasound monitoring, and it is generally possible for the condition to resolve on its own.
Generally, doctors recommend that patients with signs of genetic risks for adverse pregnancy outcomes follow a balanced diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and stay away from cold foods. Additionally, patients should pay attention to maintaining a comfortable environment, which is also beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
