Intestinal Fluid: Causes and What to Expect During a Level 2 Ultrasound

Question
I am actually inquiring because of my daughter. SHe is being sent for a "level 2" sonogram. They said they saw some fluid in the intestine. What could this mean?

Answer
If fluid was seen in the intestine, there may be a tear in the intestine, or there may be a buildup of material in the intestine. A level 2 sonogram is merely a more careful and more complete sonogram. If you have any questions, ask the doctor that is sending her for the sonogram.
