Patient's question:
Doctor, I went to 122 for an NT scan. The NT value was 0.14 cm. Everything with the amniotic fluid was normal, but there was a cystic dark area in the lower abdominal cavity, measured at 1.6×0.7×1.1 cm. The boundary was clear, and the sound transmission was good. Is this child definitely problematic? At the time, I took the subway there and had held my urine for a while. I only used the restroom at the hospital after arriving. The scan was done outside, and after the ultrasound, I felt the urge to urinate again without having drunk any water. Is it normal for a pregnant person to hold their urine? Is this value a bit large?Doctor's answer:
Your situation doesn't require undue concern, as holding urine generally does not affect the NT value. However, it's best to have another check-up at the hospital in two weeks. Based on clinical experience, it's unlikely to be related to holding urine. Additionally, you should pay attention to nutrition and rest, maintain a positive mood, ensure sufficient deep sleep, and maintain a regular lifestyle with regular check-ups. This will also help the growth and overall health of the fetus in your belly.
