Patient's question:
I am 8 months pregnant. Today, during a color ultrasound, it was found that the baby has a cyst in the pelvis, above the bladder, measuring 4 centimeters in diameter. The baby's gender is unclear. What should I do?First follow-up question: Color ultrasound report: A 3.84.0 cystic mass in the left abdominal cavity of the fetus, close to the left kidney, with good internal echo. Fetal hand brushing face.
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to have a follow-up ultrasound at 36 weeks of pregnancy. If the size is not more than 6 cm and it is still a simple cyst predominantly cystic, and the pregnant woman has no other pregnancy complications, natural delivery is possible. A thorough physical examination of the newborn should be conducted after delivery, and regular follow-up on the cyst's changes is necessary. Typically, the cyst usually disappears within 4 months postpartum. If it does not disappear within 4 months postpartum or continues to enlarge, or if torsion and necrosis occur, surgery is the traditional treatment method.
