Is coughing at 14 weeks of pregnancy likely to cause fetal demise?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Also, I'm 14 weeks pregnant and coughing. Will it cause a miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

The main reasons for embryonic arrest are mainly divided into four aspects. The first is related to reproductive endocrinology. During the early development of the embryo, three important hormone levels are required: estrogen, progesterone, and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). If the endogenous hormone levels of the mother are insufficient, it can lead to embryonic arrest. The second is related to reproductive immunity. If the body has certain antibodies, they may resist the development of the embryo. The third is related to uterine issues. If the uterine environment is poor or if there is a malformation, the embryo will not develop. The fourth is related to chromosomal issues. When conducting examinations, a detailed check of all four aspects is necessary, and it should involve both partners. Additionally, external factors such as pollution and radiation should also be considered. It is recommended to undergo comprehensive pre-pregnancy testing before attempting to conceive.
