Ultrasound Anomaly with PIH Screening in Hyderabad

5000+ scans done & counting

Ultrasound anomaly scans, combined with Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension (PIH) screening, constitute an integral part of prenatal care, aimed at ensuring the health and well-being of both the mother and the unborn child. An anomaly scan, also known as a mid-pregnancy or level-II ultrasound scan, typically takes place between the 18th and 20th week of pregnancy. It focuses on detecting any structural abnormalities in the fetus. Meanwhile, PIH screening helps identify the signs of hypertension that has developed as a result of pregnancy.

An Ultrasound anomaly scan involves using high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the fetus, placenta, and uterus. The scan enables the examination of the fetus's overall structure, the growth rate, the position of the placenta, and the amount of amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus. It can help identify congenital abnormalities like spina bifida, cleft palate, heart conditions, and Down Syndrome.Pregnancy-induced hypertension, or PIH, refers to a condition characterized by high blood pressure during pregnancy. If left undetected or untreated, PIH can lead to severe complications such as preeclampsia, premature birth, low birth weight, and in extreme cases, maternal and fetal mortality. Regular screening during pregnancy helps monitor blood pressure levels and provides early detection of PIH, thereby enabling prompt management and treatment.

Specific Instructions:
  • 1

    Timing of the Scan : The anomaly scan is typically performed between the 18th and 20th week of pregnancy, although it may be done at any point after the 15th week if required.

  • 2

    Clothing : Patients should wear loose, comfortable clothing. You may be asked to change into a hospital gown.

  • 3

    Bladder Condition : A full bladder is not usually necessary for an anomaly scan performed in the second trimester, as the uterus is larger and easier to visualize.

  • 4

    Blood Pressure Monitoring : Regular blood pressure checks are crucial in PIH screening. High readings on two separate occasions, at least four hours apart, may indicate PIH.

Frequently Asked Questions

This refers to a comprehensive prenatal screening process that includes a detailed ultrasound scan to detect any structural abnormalities in the fetus, coupled with regular blood pressure checks to screen for pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH).

An anomaly scan helps to identify any congenital abnormalities in the fetus at an early stage. Early detection allows for appropriate planning and management, which could include specialist care during pregnancy and preparation for interventions after birth.

The scan can detect a range of abnormalities, including problems with the brain or spinal cord, heart defects, issues with the abdominal wall, kidney problems, limb abnormalities, and conditions like Down syndrome.

PIH, or pregnancy-induced hypertension, is a condition where a pregnant woman has high blood pressure, typically developing after the 20th week of pregnancy. If not managed, it can lead to complications such as preeclampsia.

PIH screening involves regular monitoring of the pregnant woman's blood pressure. Additional tests, such as urine tests and blood tests, might be required to check for protein in the urine or abnormal liver function, both of which can indicate PIH.

The scan usually takes about 20-45 minutes, but it can take longer if the fetus is not in a suitable position.

You'll be able to see a detailed view of your baby's structure and movements. The sonographer will examine all your baby's organs and take measurements.

You should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. No specific preparation, such as fasting or filling your bladder, is typically required for this scan.

Yes, ultrasound scans have been used in pregnancy for decades, and there's no evidence that they are harmful to you or your baby.

If your blood pressure is consistently high, it may indicate PIH. Your doctor will guide you on the next steps, which may include medication, lifestyle modifications, or even hospitalization in severe cases.

Depending on the nature of the anomaly, you may be referred to a specialist for further tests and consultations.

While there's no guaranteed way to prevent PIH, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, regular prenatal visits, and following the advice of your doctor can contribute to a healthier pregnancy.

If abnormalities are detected in the anomaly scan, you will be referred to a specialist, such as a pediatric cardiologist or a neonatologist, depending on the nature of the abnormality.

You should get your blood pressure checked at every prenatal visit. If you're at high risk for PIH, your doctor may recommend more frequent checks.

Ultrasound anomaly scan with PIH screening is an invaluable tool in safeguarding the health of both mother and baby during pregnancy. Early detection of fetal abnormalities and hypertension allows for prompt action and management, minimizing potential complications. It is crucial to follow your doctor's advice and attend all your prenatal appointments to ensure the best outcomes for you and your baby.
