Question

What causes fetal cervical and dorsal hydrops?

Answer

The appearance of fetal cervical and dorsal hydrops is mainly related to abnormalities in lymphatic system drainage. Additionally, research indicates that chromosomal abnormalities are also one of the causes of this condition. Therefore, it is recommended to induce labor promptly upon discovery of this situation. At the same time, before future pregnancy, it is advisable to check the chromosomes of both partners to exclude the possibility of abnormalities. During pregnancy, taking folic acid supplements and avoiding harmful substances can help reduce the risk of similar conditions.
