Patient's question:
I am three months pregnant now, but last year my baby stopped developing at four months, and there was no fetal heartbeat. I am quite concerned about this. What should I do if I experience fetal demise, and what should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
The main reasons for embryonic arrest are mainly divided into four aspects. The second is the perinatal endocrine aspect, because during the early growth and development of the embryo, there are three important hormone levels required: estrogen, progesterone, and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). If the endogenous hormone levels of the mother are insufficient, it can lead to embryonic arrest. The third is the issue of perinatal autoimmune problems. If the body has certain antibodies, they may attack the growth and development of the embryo. The second is uterine issues. If the internal environment of the uterus is poor or if there is a malformation, the embryo will never be able to grow and develop. The fifth is chromosomal problems. If a thorough examination is conducted, it must involve detailed checks on four aspects, and both partners must be included.
