Precautions for 4D color Doppler ultrasound

Medical technology is now very advanced. You can often see pregnant women posting their baby's ultrasound pictures on Weibo. One time I saw a kind of ultrasound that could show the baby's appearance so clearly. The baby's facial features and limbs were all clearly visible. I was very excited. I searched on Baidu and found out that it was a four-dimensional color ultrasound. Four-dimensional color ultrasound is very common now. Let's take a look at the precautions of four-dimensional color ultrasound.

The technology of four-dimensional color ultrasound is already very advanced. It allows us to see the baby's condition more clearly and detect some deformities in time. Many expectant mothers have done four-dimensional color ultrasound. So do you know the precautions for doing four-dimensional color ultrasound? Let's take a look.

Precautions for 4D color Doppler ultrasound

Expert analysis: The best time to check four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound

The best time to check four-dimensional color ultrasound for single pregnancy is between 23 and 27 weeks of pregnancy, and for twin pregnancy is between 22 and 23 weeks. Because the fetal structure has been formed at this stage, the baby's size and amniotic fluid are moderate, the baby has a large space to move around in the uterus, the impact of fetal bone echo is relatively small, and the examination image is clearer. If the inspection is done too early, the best inspection effect cannot be achieved.

To do a four-dimensional color ultrasound, choose a professional and regular hospital. The four-dimensional color ultrasound examination is more professional, so it requires high skills and experience from the operator. Only accurate and skillful techniques can achieve the best examination results and better show the baby's stunning appearance to expectant mothers and fathers. Therefore, expectant mothers must choose a professional and regular hospital for the examination.

Do you need to hold your urine when doing a four-dimensional color ultrasound? Whether you need to hold your urine when doing a four-dimensional color ultrasound depends on the gestational age. You need to hold your urine when the gestational age is younger, but you don’t need to hold your urine when the gestational age is older. Generally, you don’t need to hold your urine when doing a four-dimensional color ultrasound after four months of pregnancy. The principle of four-dimensional color ultrasound is similar to that of ordinary color ultrasound. Expectant mothers can eat something and drink some water half an hour before doing the four-dimensional color ultrasound to increase fetal movement.

Four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound examination items

1. Fetal facial deformity: such as cleft lip and palate.

2. Nervous system: anencephaly, hydrocephalus, microcephaly, spina bifida and meningocele.

3. Digestive system: umbilical enterocele, visceral exstrophy, intestinal atresia and megacolon, etc.

4. Urinary system: hydronephrosis, polycystic kidney disease, megacystis, and urethral obstruction.

5. Other deformities: short limbs, conjoined twins, cleft lip, and four-chamber heart.

6. Too much or too little amniotic fluid, etc.

Can 4D color Doppler ultrasound tell gender?

We would like to remind prospective parents that revealing the sex of the fetus for non-medical purposes is illegal according to national regulations, so regular hospitals will not tell or hint at the sex of the fetus in any way. In fact, whether it is a boy or a girl, they are the fruit of the love between husband and wife. Prospective parents should pay more attention to factors such as whether the fetus is healthy and whether its development is normal, rather than caring about its gender.

Everyone should know the precautions for doing four-dimensional color ultrasound, and the four-dimensional color ultrasound can accurately see the baby's gender. In fact, there is no need to know the baby's gender before the baby is born. As long as the baby is healthy, it is the happiest. At the same time, women who want to do four-dimensional color ultrasound can go to a regular hospital.
