I'm really worried because they found a single echogenic intracardiac focus in the left ventricle on my 17-week ultrasound. What does this mean for my baby, and what steps should we take next? Can it lead to complications or is this something common?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Single echogenic intracardiac focus in a fetus at 17 weeks gestation is a common finding on ultrasound. It is usually a benign condition and often resolves on its own. However, further evaluation may be recommended to rule out any underlying issues. I would suggest a follow-up ultrasound in the third trimester to monitor the intracardiac focus. Additionally, a fetal echocardiogram can be done to assess the structure and function of the fetal heart in more detail. There is no specific treatment required for a single echogenic intracardiac focus, but close monitoring by your healthcare provider is important to ensure the health and development of the fetus. If you have any concerns or questions, please consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.

I have bilateral hemorrhagic cysts in both ovaries 3.2 cm on the right and 5.2 cm on the left and my ovaries are bulky. My periods are regular with a 30-day cycle, but I'm not getting pregnant. Could these cysts be the reason? Can they be treated with medicine or will I need surgery?
Bilateral hemorrhagic ovarian cysts, especially with enlarged ovaries, could potentially contribute to fertility issues and may require medical or surgical intervention depending on the severity of symptoms and other factors. While regular periods suggest ovulation, the cysts and their impact on ovarian function could be a factor in not conceiving.
