Patient's question:
My wife is almost seven months pregnant. A few days ago, when we went to the women and children's hospital for an ultrasound examination, it was found that the fetus had polycystic kidney disease. The doctor couldn't explain the reason either. Then, my wife and I returned to the provincial women and children's hospital for further examination and inquiry, but still no results. Now the whole family is worried and doesn't know what to do. What is the cause of polycystic kidney disease in the fetus?Doctor's answer:
Regarding "What causes polycystic kidney disease in fetuses?", polycystic kidneys can be diagnosed through enhanced symptomatic ultrasound examinations. It is also important to pay attention to enhancing nutrition, as there is generally no significant impact. Regular follow-up examinations should be conducted, and attention should be paid to fetal movement. Polycystic kidney disease is a congenital condition. When the cysts are relatively small, traditional Chinese medicine regulation and treatment methods can be used. If the cyst size reaches 4-5 centimeters or more, or if clinical diagnosis indicates significant severity, surgical treatment methods are required.
