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. Could you please tell me why the fetus doesn't have a heartbeat?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally a gestational sac can be seen around week 6, and a fetal pole can be observed between weeks 6-7. By week 8, a fetal heartbeat can be clearly detected. The current situation may be due to the possibility of fetal demise. It is recommended to follow up in one week. If no fetal pole is still visible, fetal demise should be considered, and a D&C procedure may be necessary.Generally, doctors advise women with signs of genetic risks to pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding cold exposure. Additionally, patients should also ensure a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
