Is it a good thing for the fetus to have a large bladder?

Every pregnant woman will go to the hospital regularly for relevant examinations during pregnancy. This is mainly to better understand the growth and changes of the fetus in her belly, so as to avoid being unable to discover any abnormalities in time. However, many pregnant women will find that the fetus in their belly has an enlarged bladder during the examination. Don’t panic too much at this time. It may be caused by physiological reasons. Further examination is still needed for the specific situation.

An enlarged bladder is not a very serious problem. It is estimated that the fetus is likely to be holding urine. Even if the overfilled bladder is caused by urethral obstruction, there is currently no good way to check it. The fetus can urinate inside the body, so don't worry too much. Generally, an enlarged bladder is recommended to rule out the possibility of fetal hydronephrosis. If the bladder is simply enlarged without hydronephrosis, or the bladder shrinks after the fetus urinates, and there is no oligohydramnios or abnormal fetal heart rate, there should be no problem.

The test results are definitely abnormal. It is considered that the fetus has ureteral obstruction, etc., otherwise it would not be a huge bladder. Suggestions: It is recommended that you still consider it carefully. It must be the fetus's ureteral malformation that causes inability to urinate, so there will be a huge bladder. Do not continue the test.

Fetal malformation refers to structural or chromosomal abnormalities that occur in the fetus in the uterus. It is a type of birth defect and a leading cause of perinatal mortality. B-ultrasound screening between 18-24 weeks of pregnancy can detect some common fetal malformations. Timely detection of severe fetal malformations and induction of labor is one of the important means to improve the quality of the newborn population. The incidence of human birth defects abroad is about 15‰, and the latest statistics from the Ministry of Health in my country in 2012 showed it to be 5.6%. There are many types of fetal malformations, and the causative factors are diverse. There are hundreds of nearly single gene diseases.

Pathological etiology

There are many reasons for this, mainly related to genetics, environment, food, drugs, viral infection, and maternal-fetal blood type incompatibility. The clinical diagnosis rate is poor and the detection time is late. With the development of B-ultrasound technology, many fetal congenital malformations can be diagnosed and treated early in utero. Thereby reducing perinatal mortality.
