What Does This Anomaly Scan Indicate?

Posted on Thu, 23 Jun 2016

Question: Hi I am Worried about baby being intersexed. We had a Anomaly scan at 15 weeks and then another at 18 weeks. Scans don't point out to any defects but report is silent on genital development. Doesn't say anything. We understand that they don't want to tell us sex but if there was a problem doctor would point out in report or not? Worried? I am at 25 weeks now. Very worried
I am 35 and it's a Ivf pregnancy with a single baby. Took progesterone in first trimester

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to uus.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. The genitals in fetus is not commented upon in ultrasound scan in XXXXXXX due to laws.

2. It is extremely rare to have problem in genitals. Any genital conditions is suspected if there is problems in urinary bladder and kidneys.

3. Your doctor has seen the kidneys and urinary bladder in anomaly scan and found it normal. If there was any problems then your doctor will write in the report.

Hope your query I is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
