Under normal circumstances, the fetus's brain will have a small amount of hydrocephalus, which will gradually be absorbed as the gestational age increases. However, some fetuses have severe hydrocephalus, with a large amount that cannot be absorbed, and there is a high possibility of congenital defects in these fetuses. There are many reasons that can cause severe fetal hydrocephalus, such as the mother being infected with a virus, fetal hypoxia, fetal cerebrovascular malformation, genetic factors, and so on. So what should fetal hydrocephalus pay attention to?
If fetal hydrocephalus cannot be absorbed, pregnant women can choose to terminate the pregnancy after early diagnosis. Because if the baby has congenital hydrocephalus, the mortality rate after birth is very high. When it comes to whether to keep the baby, expectant fathers and mothers should listen to the doctor's advice and make careful and cautious decisions.
If the family conditions are very good, you can choose to keep the baby, and after the baby is born, you should perform surgery as soon as possible. If the fetus has a problem with hydrocephalus, the mother should be aware that the child is likely to experience premature birth, and expectant mothers should take precautions in advance.
After being diagnosed with fetal hydrocephalus, pregnant women should avoid all chemicals, radiation, and drugs that may continue to harm the fetus. Expectant mothers should also avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, otherwise it will worsen the fetal hydrocephalus.
The hospital for production should choose a legitimate hospital with excellent conditions and technology, and communicate the issue of fetal hydrocephalus with doctors in advance to avoid secondary harm to the baby during production.
