Question
The fetus is 24 weeks old and has developed ascites. What treatment should be taken?
Answer
When a fetus develops ascites symptoms, it may be caused by diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, cystic fibroids, or pelvic effusion. It is recommended to visit the gynecology clinic immediately for an ultrasound examination to determine the cause before initiating medication treatment. Additionally, the possibility of cerebral palsy should not be ruled out, and a CT scan can be performed to confirm. The treatment for cerebral palsy includes increasing joint mobility, adjusting muscle tone, improving motor control, coordination, strength, and endurance to enhance motor function and self-care abilities. In necessary cases, neurotrophic drugs and muscle relaxants can be used for medication treatment.
