Four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound tricuspid regurgitation

Many pregnant women have never heard of tricuspid regurgitation. When they hear it for the first time during a routine physical examination, they don’t know what it means, let alone what impact it will have on the fetus, so they often feel very confused. Parents should be aware of some common symptoms, follow the doctor's instructions, and achieve the goal of professional treatment. Is it possible to keep a baby with tricuspid valve regurgitation?

Can I keep a baby with tricuspid valve regurgitation?

The baby can be kept with tricuspid regurgitation. Tricuspid regurgitation means that when blood is ejected from the right atrium into the pulmonary artery, it cannot close tightly, and some blood returns to the right atrium. In the late pregnancy, the fetus itself has right heart advantage, so there is the possibility of right ventricular dilatation and tricuspid valve ring enlargement. There is nothing to say about tricuspid regurgitation now, as many children have it. Most of them will be cured in the 6th month of pregnancy as the fetus grows and develops, and many of them are gone after birth. There is no need to worry too much at this stage.

Tricuspid regurgitation is more common in babies at this stage, usually caused by congenital diseases. If this abnormal symptom is not very serious, the fetus can be born. Whether surgical treatment is necessary is determined based on the evaluation of the patient's condition after birth and whether severe clinical symptoms occur.

Fetal tricuspid regurgitation is not a condition for caesarean section. It means that the tricuspid valve of the heart is stenotic. If there are no other adverse symptoms, the baby can still be born. In particular, it is important to perform Down syndrome screening tests at 15-20 weeks of pregnancy and four-dimensional color ultrasound tests at 20-28 weeks to determine the condition of the fetus.

Fetal tricuspid regurgitation is a heart disease, and whether a baby can be born depends on one's condition. In addition, nutrition needs to be improved during pregnancy. It is important to ensure adequate rest, and iron supplements are taken during the 13th to 27th week of pregnancy to promote the baby's development. If further examination is necessary, the pregnancy should be terminated immediately if serious congenital heart disease is diagnosed.
