What are the symptoms of a dead fetus at 5 weeks of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What are the symptoms of a dead fetus at 5 weeks of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

In early pregnancy, women may experience bleeding. As pregnancy progresses to the middle and late stages, the mother may suddenly and noticeably feel no fetal movement, while also experiencing symptoms of bleeding. This is when stillbirth may occur. Endometrial hyperplasia refers to a disease where the endometrium grows excessively due to inflammation, endocrine disorders, or the stimulation of certain drugs. Generally, it can be treated with medication. Commonly used drugs include progesterone, hydroxyprogesterone acetate, dydrogesterone, danazol, and gossypol. If medication treatment is not effective, you may still need to undergo a D&C procedure.
