Criteria for induction of labor due to ventriculomegaly

For some women, if they take some medicines or have viral infections during pregnancy, it may affect the health of the fetus. Therefore, they should pay attention to it, have a good health care plan, and conduct regular and effective pregnancy checkups according to the doctor's advice. For some women, if the fetus has 12mm enlargement of the lateral ventricle during the examination, this may be caused by hydrocephalus, which can be treated by using native surgery.

Standards for induced abortion for ventriculomegaly

If the standard value of fetal lateral ventricle enlargement exceeds 10mm and continues to expand to more than 15mm, there is a high possibility of hydrocephalus, and a systematic color Doppler ultrasound examination, amniocentesis or umbilical cord blood puncture examination, confirmation of the fetal sex chromosomes and related genes, and a complete fetal head MRI examination are required to make a diagnosis based on the above results. If the diagnosis is abnormal, you can choose to terminate the pregnancy by induced abortion. If an induced abortion is performed, the pregnant woman will be very weak after the operation. She should pay special attention to rest, not do heavy physical work in the short term, and is prohibited from having sex and taking a bath within one month.

There are currently no strict standards for induced abortion for fetal ventriculomegaly. Under normal circumstances, doctors will make corresponding recommendations based on the specific conditions of the pregnant woman and her fetus. However, when the following conditions occur, induced abortion is recommended: 1. The fetal ventricle is significantly abnormally widened, and combined with malformations or deficiencies of other local structures, induced abortion is recommended; 2. Amniocentesis shows significant abnormalities in the fetal chromosomes, and termination of pregnancy is recommended; 3. During pregnancy, the fetal ventriculomegaly increases significantly, exceeding 15mm, and after comprehensive evaluation, the pregnancy outcome is poor, and termination of pregnancy is recommended.

1. If the fetus has enlarged ventricles, effective treatment should be carried out according to the severity of the patient's condition. If the detection is more than ten mm, it is generally due to some early symptoms of hydrocephalus. If the fetus is born, it will not survive long. Therefore, the treatment method of induced abortion is more effective.

2. If the fetus has cerebral ventricle enlargement of 12mm, it is best to treat it by inducing labor to avoid affecting family harmony and the health of the fetus, and may also cause the harm of short-term death of the fetus. Treatment by inducing labor has a better effect.

3. If some patients have a fetal lateral ventricle that is 12mm larger, it may be caused by hydrocephalus. Further examination can be carried out. If there are serious brain development abnormalities, induced labor can be chosen for treatment, and you can pay more attention to rest.

Ventricular enlargement can have a great impact on the fetus. Generally, when the widening is larger, it is caused by congenital hydrocephalus. Therefore, appropriate treatment options should be selected to enable the woman's body to recover as soon as possible.
