Fetal position Transverse

The position of the fetus is transverse (situs transversus).

Transverse fetal position is a condition when the baby is located transversely in the uterus, and not longitudinally, as usual. This condition can be caused by various factors such as genetics, abnormal position of the uterus, multiple pregnancies, etc.

One of the most common symptoms of transverse fetal position is abdominal pain. It can vary in intensity and location, but is usually felt in the lower abdomen. In addition, other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness and back discomfort may occur.

Diagnosis of the transverse position of the fetus is carried out using ultrasound. However, if your doctor suspects this condition, he may order additional tests, such as a CT scan or MRI.

Treatment for transverse fetal position may include changes in body position, medications, and surgery. The choice of treatment method depends on the individual characteristics of each case.

Overall, transverse fetal position is a serious condition that can lead to complications during pregnancy and childbirth. Therefore, if you experience any symptoms associated with this condition, you should see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
