Patient's question:
I'm the second child, and after finding out I was pregnant, I didn't want to and didn't intentionally inhibit it. We had one sexual encounter. Later, the elders persuaded me to keep the pregnancy. The early this month ultrasound was normal, but by the end of the month, there was no fetal heartbeat or movement. By the end of the month, I was about 12 weeks pregnant. The day before the second ultrasound, we had another sexual encounter. I was working between the two ultrasounds and felt very tired when I arrived home at night. The careful examination revealed a missed miscarriage, so I underwent medication-induced abortion. I need help: Why did it lead to a missed miscarriage? Does it have anything to do with the sexual encounter? Does it have anything to do with being very tired from work?Doctor's answer:
In the early stages of early pregnancy, since the connection between the fetus and the mother is not yet close and it is easy to cause miscarriage, sexual activity or overexertion during this period can easily lead to threatened miscarriage or fetal demise. However: endocrine factors, chromosomal abnormalities, uterine factors, autoimmune factors, and external environmental factors can all lead to fetal demise. Before trying to conceive again, have a thorough pre-natal check-up: including semen, leukorrhea, blood, urine, chromosomes, ultrasound, etc.; both partners should maintain a good mood, a regular lifestyle, proper diet, exercise, quit smoking and drinking, avoid colds, avoid overtime work, and minimize contact with electrical appliances.
