Patient's question:
On May 15, 2017, during the 21st week of pregnancy, a 4D ultrasound revealed that the fetus had bilateral renal cysts. The left kidney was separated by approximately 7.9mm, and the right kidney by approximately 7mm. Half a month later, on June 1st, a follow-up ultrasound showed that both kidneys were separated by approximately 10mm. On the third follow-up on June 14th, the ultrasound report stated that both renal pelvises were separated by approximately 11mm. Could you please advise on how to handle this situation?Doctor's answer:
Separation of the renal sinuses in both kidneys is primarily caused by urinary retention or hydronephrosis, and it is generally not advisable for the separation to exceed 1 cm. It will heal on its own. There is no need to worry. After one week, have a follow-up examination to compare the data with this time's check. Mild separation of the renal sinuses in both kidneys is usually not a significant problem. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to have a B examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
