The most important job for women after pregnancy is prenatal check ups. Every prenatal check-up for a pregnant mother is like an exam. When all indicators are normal, the pregnant mother's heart becomes calm. But there are also some pregnant women who are not so lucky. If there is fetal hydronephrosis during prenatal examination, it will make pregnant women very worried and not know how to deal with it. So, does fetal hydronephrosis require early cesarean section?
Fetal hydronephrosis is mainly caused by renal dysfunction or structural abnormalities during fetal development, and another possibility is congenital ureteral stenosis, leading to urinary dysfunction. Since the fetus is in the mother's body, the kidneys do not participate in the body's metabolism, so there is no need for early cesarean section, and normal birth can be achieved.
Although fetal hydronephrosis does not require early delivery, it can be delivered at the appropriate time. However, after the birth of the fetus, timely treatment is necessary to improve the baby's urinary system function. Although ultrasound can diagnose fetal hydronephrosis, it is not accurate and cannot determine the true cause of hydronephrosis, nor can it predict the extent to which hydronephrosis will develop in the future. Therefore, regular follow-up examinations are necessary.
Because the placenta can help the fetus metabolize waste. So the kidneys only start working after birth. Generally speaking, babies with hydronephrosis are likely to experience an increase in renal excretion after birth, which is also one of the reasons why hydronephrosis worsens after birth. At the same time, this is also one of the views that premature termination of pregnancy is not recommended.
