Patient's question:
I had my last menstrual period on April 1st. At six weeks, I experienced abdominal pain that led to fainting, but no detailed examination was conducted. By nine weeks, there was a minimal amount of bleeding, and I delayed seeking medical attention until the fifth day.Ultrasound: At six weeks, no fetal cardiac activity was observed. Urine test: Low progesterone. I took medication for seven days and received progesterone supplements and HCC shots. After seven days, a follow-up ultrasound still showed no fetal cardiac activity; progesterone increased slightly from 7, but HCC rose from over 10,000 to 20,000. With no other options, I had to undergo a procedure. Now, what should I do?
Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for embryonic arrest, such as endocrine disorders, autoimmune factors, uterine abnormalities, chromosomal abnormalities, reproductive tract infections, and environmental factors. It is recommended to undergo a detailed examination, including chromosomal testing, vaginal discharge tests, sex hormone tests, and a thorough examination of the endometrium, to identify the cause before symptomatic treatment. Before attempting to conceive again after recovery, it is necessary to perform ultrasound, routine gynecological examinations, chromosomal tests, and the five tests for eugenics. This condition, known as embryonic arrest, is not easily cured. Friends suffering from this should maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism, as only this can boost their confidence in overcoming embryonic arrest and believe that recovery is possible.
