What are the consequences of a fetus dying in the womb?

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Please ask, what are the consequences if the fetus dies in the abdomen?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be possible that the fetus has stopped developing, and the fetus has died in the uterine cavity. Common causes of fetal death include umbilical cord abnormalities, fetal malformations, and maternal diseases that lead to incomplete placental function and insufficient oxygen supply, causing fetal hypoxia and death. It is recommended to induce abortion as soon as possible to avoid causing maternal DIC. Generally, doctors will advise women with signs of genetic risk to maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to having a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
