How is early embryonic demise treated?

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. Could you please tell me how to treat early fetal demise?

Doctor's answer:

The main reasons for embryonic arrest are mainly divided into four aspects. The second is the perinatal endocrine aspect. During the early growth and development of the embryo, three important hormone levels are required: estrogen, progesterone, and human chorionic gonadotropin. 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 problems. If the internal environment of the uterus is poor or if there is a malformation, the embryo will never be able to develop. The fifth is the issue of chromosomal problems.
