Can cleft lip be seen through 4D scan?

Cleft lip is a relatively common developmental deformity. Once this deformity occurs, it will have adverse effects on both the child and the parents. It can be detected through color ultrasound during the prenatal check-up. In daily life, pregnant women must supplement folic acid in time, and the living environment must be quiet to avoid some radiation problems. This is also a better way to prevent cleft lip. Of course, regular prenatal check-ups are also very important.

Can cleft lip be seen through 4D scan?

It can detect whether the baby has cleft lip. It is very comprehensive and clear, and all the organs of the baby can be seen clearly. It can usually be done during the second trimester.

The examination scope of four-dimensional color ultrasound is relatively comprehensive, and the baby's physical development can be clearly observed.

1. Check facial development

Four-dimensional color ultrasound can clearly display the facial development of the fetus, show in real time whether the fetus has facial deformities, observe whether the fetus's eyes are of equal size, whether the lip line is continuous, whether there is a lump in the neck, etc.

2. Observe the development of the spine

Through four-dimensional color ultrasound, it is possible to clearly observe whether the fetus's spine is straight, whether there are any interruptions, whether the arrangement is orderly, and whether the shape is deformed. If you observe carefully, the development of the spine is easy to discover.

3. Nervous system development

The main observation is on the development of the fetus's head. For example, anencephaly, hydrocephalus, head deformity, etc. can be observed relatively easily, allowing doctors to take timely remedial measures.

4. Urinary system development

It can help us understand whether the urinary system is fully developed, whether the reproductive organs are healthy, and whether the bladder and urethra are normally developed.

5. Development of the digestive system

Four-dimensional color ultrasound can mainly capture the development of fetal internal organs more accurately, such as the intestines, stomach, abdomen, heart and other organs, and can more accurately understand whether the fetus has congenital heart disease or other congenital diseases.

Four-dimensional color ultrasound can determine the baby's gender. There is a legend among pregnant mothers that the gender of the gestational sac can be determined by looking at the shape of the gestational sac in the early stages of pregnancy: if it is eggplant-like or long, it is more likely to be a boy (oval), and if it is round, it is more likely to be a girl (perfect circle).

If you are not sure about the shape of the gestational sac, you can estimate the shape of the gestational sac based on the data of the gestational sac. If the length and width of the gestational sac differ by more than twice (the shape of the gestational sac will be more oval), the possibility of a boy is high. If the length and width of the gestational sac are equal, the possibility of a girl is high (the shape of the gestational sac is more like a perfect circle).
