Patient's question:
My cousin is 43 years old this year and wants to have another child for various reasons. Last year, she tried in vitro fertilization, but it didn't work. Later, she used many folk remedies and naturally became pregnant. However, she started experiencing spotting again around two months, though it wasn't much—just a little bit. Later, she had an examination and was told there was no fetal heartbeat. She was prescribed medication to support the pregnancy, but it still didn’t take, and the fetus stopped growing. In the end, she miscarried. This year, she also became pregnant again about three months ago using various folk remedies. Previous examinations had all said she was doing well and was quite healthy, but today she experienced spotting again. The hospital examination revealed no fetal heartbeat again, and they suggested she be hospitalized for a miscarriage. But this child is truly hard-won. I’d like to ask the doctors if there’s any other way to save the child. The only thing is that both times she experienced spotting around two or three months and there was no fetal heartbeat—what could be going on? Please, please help me find some answers!Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer,According to your description, your aunt may have experienced embryonic arrest due to poor embryonic growth and development. It is recommended that she visit a perinatal center to investigate the cause of the embryonic arrest. She could also consider taking a sample of the arrested embryo for laboratory testing.
This is the advice for the question, "My aunt is 43 years old this year and wants to have another child for various reasons." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
