What are the obvious symptoms of fetal demise?

Patient's question:

I have been in good health lately, but just recently I found out I'm pregnant, and the whole family is immersed in joy. Who would have thought that I would feel uncomfortable these past few days. After a check-up, I found out that the pregnancy had stopped developing. I would like to ask, what are the obvious symptoms of a missed miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

In the early stages of pregnancy, if fetal development stops, all pregnancy symptoms will gradually disappear. There may be coffee-colored or dark red bloody discharge. In the second trimester, the uterus does not shrink, and fetal movement disappears. Diagnosis primarily relies on ultrasound. If there is a miscarriage, it is recommended to undergo hysteroscopy with embryo removal, while also carefully examining the embryo's chromosomal abnormalities and uterine environment. After the procedure, the causes of infertility and miscarriage should be investigated. If there has been a previous miscarriage surgery, it is important to consider testing for anti-embryo antibodies. Only after removing the underlying cause can normal pregnancy be achieved.
In addition to treating gynecological conditions, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a positive mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
