Fetal abdominal effusion in the seventh month can be treated with medication if it is caused by viral infection, or surgically if it is caused by twin-transfusion syndrome, and the pregnancy should be terminated in time if it develops abnormally.
1. Viral infections: such as toxoplasmosis, microvirus, cytomegalovirus, etc., can cause fetal abdominal effusion, which can be diagnosed with the help of pathogenetic examination, serologic examination, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and so on. After clear diagnosis, penicillin and other medications can be given according to doctor’s instructions, and the development of the fetus can be closely monitored.
2. Twin-fetus blood transfusion syndrome: it is a unique complication of monochorionic twin fetuses, and it can also cause abdominal effusion and edema in one fetus, which can be diagnosed with ultrasonography and amniotic fluid volume examination, and it can be corrected with fetoscopic laser surgery by an experienced physician.
3. Developmental abnormality: when the fetal structure developmental abnormality, such as intestinal dilatation, neural tube malformation, etc., can also cause fetal abdominal fluid accumulation, can be assisted in the diagnosis by ultrasound examination, etc., by the doctor to fully assess the need for timely termination of pregnancy.
Fetal abdominal effusion in the seventh month needs to be identified under the guidance of a doctor and treated promptly.
