Fetal peritonitis: Symptoms, Causes and Treatment

Fetal peritonitis, also known as intrauterine peritonitis or fetal peritonitis, is a rare but serious condition that affects the fetus before it is born. It is an inflammatory disease of the abdominal lining that can lead to complications such as premature birth, poor fetal growth, and even death.

Symptoms of fetal peritonitis can vary and include:

1. Low level of fetal activity;
2. Decreased or absent fetal heartbeat;
3. Fluid in the fetal abdomen;
4. Increase in the size of the fetal abdominal cavity;
5. An increase in the volume of fluid in the amniotic membranes;
6. Increase in fetal size.

The causes of fetal peritonitis are not always known, but may include infections such as a viral or bacterial infection, as well as problems with the placenta or amniotic fluid.

Methods such as ultrasound, amniocentesis (taking a sample of amniotic fluid) and biopsy of the fetal pleura can be used to diagnose fetal peritonitis.

Treatment of fetal peritonitis usually includes early detection of the disease and prevention of its complications. This may include using antibiotics, treating infections, introducing fluid into the membranes, and monitoring the fetus.

In some cases, when the disease progresses, the baby may need to be born early. The birth of a child with fetal peritonitis requires specialized medical supervision and care, as he may need intensive care and surgical intervention.

In conclusion, fetal peritonitis is a serious condition that can lead to serious complications for the fetus. Early detection and treatment of the disease can help prevent these complications and give the fetus the best chance of survival. If you suspect fetal peritonitis, contact your doctor for further advice and treatment.
