Patient's question:
At 19+ weeks of pregnancy, fetal demise was discovered. The pathological diagnosis is as follows. Since the pathology report is very technical, I don't understand it well. Could you help me explain the cause of fetal demise? Which aspects of daily life might lead to this phenomenon?Personal details:
- Age: 30
- Occupation: Employee
- First pregnancy
Clinical diagnosis:
- Retained abortion
Macroscopic findings:
- (Placenta): Two pieces of placental tissue were found. One was the main piece, eccentrically attached, 2 cm away from the placental edge, measuring 108.01.5 cm. The other piece measured 16.5100.3 cm and weighed 142.9 g. The maternal surface showed unclear lobar separation, while the fetal surface showed clear ratios of arteries and veins. The free umbilical cord was 23 cm long and straight.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is due to placental abnormalities that led to fetal death in utero.
