Patient's question:
My wife is more than 50 days pregnant. During this period, she had a blood test, and the HCG levels were doubling, but the progesterone level remained consistently between 11-12. The doctor said there was no need for treatment to support the pregnancy. The last ultrasound showed fetal demise. The doctor recommended an abortion. She has a history of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) with two positive leukorrhea tests. I would like to ask why this situation of fetal demise occurred. Is it directly caused by progesterone levels or by sperm quality? We are not young anymore, and we really want to have a baby. If we get pregnant again, how can we prevent this from happening again? I am very worried. Thank you for your expertise. Wishing you all good health. (She has a history of pelvic inflammatory disease, but she has recovered.)Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, it is considered related. It is recommended to have a comprehensive check-up before the next pregnancy. Suggestions for treatment: Hello, it is considered related. It is recommended to have a comprehensive check-up before the next pregnancy. Generally, doctors will advise patients with signs of fetal stop to maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should also create an environment that is conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
