Ultrasound of pregnant women in Lviv

FEATURE FEATURES AND PATHOLOGIES DURING SCHEDULED US-EXAMINATIONS OF PREGNANTS

First of all, during the first visit with the help of ultrasound of a pregnant woman, the doctor will be able to:

• determine the term of pregnancy;
• the number of embryos in a woman's body;
• measure the collar space;
• determine the distance of the fetus from the crown to the coccyx;
• identify markers of congenital and chromosomal pathologies.

The first visit for ultrasound diagnostics allows you to confirm or rule out chromosomal abnormalities and malformations in the fetus. Also, during the reception, it is possible to determine the syndrome of Down, Edwards, Patau and pathologies, which, unfortunately, are often incompatible with life or can cause disability in newborns.

During the second visit, an ultrasound specialist can diagnose more complex structural abnormalities in fetal development, namely:

• absence of a limb or the presence of an additional one;
• anomalies of the brain and spinal cord;
• defects in the development of kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, urinary and other body systems;
• abnormalities of the heart.

One of the most pleasant features of pregnancy ultrasound during the second visit is the determination of the sex of the child, which is a very important and exciting moment for future parents.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND INDICATIONS FOR ADDITIONAL ULTRASOUNDS DURING PREGNANCY FROM THE NOVO CENTER IN Lviv

At the NOVO Medical Center, gynecologists conduct additional ultrasound examinations of the fetus at various stages of pregnancy. Such examinations are especially important for women at 6-8 weeks, since during this period it is possible to determine the presence of a heartbeat in the embryo and detect an ectopic pregnancy. Additional ultrasound at 30-32 weeks of pregnancy makes it possible to assess:

• location of the placenta, amount of amniotic fluid;
• state of the cervix;
• approximate weight of the fetus;
• blood circulation in uterine arteries.

If doctors detect central placental abruption in a pregnant woman, she will be urgently referred to an obstetric hospital.

There are also indications for additional ultrasound examination in case of possible threats during pregnancy. They include:

• changes in the nature of fetal movements;
• severe headache;
• pain during urination;
• constant contractions of the uterus;
• nausea, vomiting.

To find out the sex of the child or to make sure that the pregnancy is going well, a woman can do an additional ultrasound at any time, because thanks to the latest modern devices, it is a completely safe method of diagnosis and has no contraindications.

NECESSARY PREPARATION FOR AN ULTRASOUND OF PREGNANT WOMEN

Specialists of the NOVO Medical Center for the best results of the study recommend that pregnant women refrain from consuming raw vegetables, fruits, legumes, lactic acid and other products that cause gas formation 2-3 days before the examination, and be sure to fill the urinary bladder before the start of the ultrasound bubble.
