Patient's question:
63 days of light spottingDoctor's answer:
In your case, it may be possible that the fetus has stopped developing, and the fetus has died inside the uterine cavity. Common causes of fetal death include umbilical cord abnormalities, fetal malformations, and maternal diseases that lead to placental dysfunction, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply and fetal hypoxia leading to death. If the dead fetus remains in the uterus for too long, it can cause maternal coagulation dysfunction, leading to uncontrollable postpartum hemorrhage during delivery, which poses a great risk to the mother. Therefore, timely diagnosis and treatment are essential. It is recommended to induce abortion as soon as possible to avoid causing maternal DIC.
