Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I have a friend who went to the hospital for a check-up when she was more than one month pregnant. The doctor said the fetus was developing poorly, and later, around four months later, she accidentally miscarried. I would like to ask the doctor: If fetal development is poor in the early stages, can it catch up later? Also, what are the main causes of such miscarriages? How should my friend take care of her body in the future to maintain good health and be able to conceive a healthy baby again? Additionally, does poor fetal development have anything to do with the father's health, or are factors related to the mother's health more significant?Doctor's answer:
Luteal phase deficiency, insufficient progesterone secretion, inadequate decidual development, can affect the implantation of the fertilized egg and the formation of the placenta, often leading to early miscarriage. Primary insufficient secretion of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is often seen in placental villous abnormalities, incomplete villous function, and insufficient hCG secretion, which can cause secondary progesterone deficiency, leading to the death of the embryo due to lack of adequate nutrition. Dysfunction of other endocrine organs such as the thyroid, adrenal cortex, and pancreas can also affect the maintenance of normal pregnancy and result in miscarriage.
