Question
At six months of pregnancy, an ultrasound revealed an abnormality of congenital ductus arteriosus in the fetus. I would like to know the possible causes and subsequent treatment methods.
Answer
An abnormality of congenital ductus arteriosus in the fetus detected at six months of pregnancy is typically caused by non-hereditary factors. If there is no family history of inheritance, possible causes include environmental factors, viral infections, or other external influences. Another fetus may also have other abnormalities, which may not be discovered until years after the child is born. It is recommended to induce labor if conditions permit. From a medical standpoint, unless it is ectopic pregnancy or the mother has a blood system disease, labor induction can be performed.
