Patient's question:
I was pregnant when I experienced abdominal pain and some bleeding at 13 weeks. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, it was found that the embryo had stopped developing, but I don't know when it stopped.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, based on the situation you described, it falls under the category of embryonic arrest. There are many possible reasons for this, which may involve factors related to both partners or external factors, and the causes are diverse. It is difficult to determine the specific cause. However, embryonic arrest does not lead to the spontaneous expulsion of the embryo from the body.Recommendations: Since the fetus has stopped developing, it will not be expelled naturally from the body. Given the current gestational age, it is advisable to undergo an artificial abortion promptly. This is typically done by taking abortion medication first, followed by a uterine curettage procedure. After the curettage, it is necessary to take anti-inflammatory medication to prevent infection.
