Question
What causes the persistent common artery in a fetus’s heart to be detected during an ultrasound at six months of pregnancy?
Answer
If the persistent common artery in a fetus’s heart is detected through an ultrasound at six months of pregnancy and there is no family history of genetic disorders, it may be caused by external factors leading to an abnormality. Another fetus may also have other abnormalities, some of which may not be discovered until years after the child is born. Therefore, if conditions permit, it is recommended to consider induction of labor. From a medical perspective, as long as it is not an ectopic pregnancy or the mother has a blood system disease, labor can be induced directly.
