Patient's question:
Doctor, at 34 weeks + 5, it was found that the S/D value was 4. After 5 days of intravenous treatment (Vitamin C and Salvia miltiorrhiza), the follow-up results dropped to 2.64. I have now been discharged. I would like to ask whether the S/D value will rise after stopping medication, how can I know if the fetus is normal inside the mother and whether its development is affected? Should I do frequent ultrasound examinations? Besides ultrasound, are there any other methods to check if the S/D value is normal?Doctor's answer:
??????These values reflect the resistance of umbilical artery blood flow. Your condition is normal, indicating low resistance. If it is too high, it may suggest the possibility of fetal hypoxia in the uterus. It is recommended to eliminate concerns, undergo regular examinations, and pay attention to the development of the intrauterine fetus and the condition of intrauterine adnexa.
