Patient's question:
I am two months pregnant. The last ultrasound showed that the gestational sac was growing slowly, and there was no fetal heartbeat or fetal bud. Today, during the follow-up ultrasound, I found that the gestational sac had started to wither. How long does it take for a withered gestational sac to lead to a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
The gestational sac is only seen in the early stages of pregnancy. Women with regular menstrual cycles of 28 to 30 days can experience a 35-day delay in menstruation, and the gestational sac can be observed within the uterine cavity via ultrasound. At 6 weeks of early pregnancy, the gestational sac has a diameter of approximately 2 cm, and at 10 weeks of early pregnancy, its diameter is about 5 cm. The position of the gestational sac in the fundus, anterior wall, posterior wall, upper part, and middle part of the uterus is normal; its shape is round, oval, clear, and normal. If the gestational sac is irregular, blurred, or located in the lower part, the pregnant woman may experience abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding. NG, it may terminate. If the gestational sac is swollen, it may lead to miscarriage at any time.
