Does persistent low fever in pregnant women affect the fetus?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Please ask if a pregnant woman's persistent low fever affects the fetus.

Doctor's answer:

High fever in pregnant women can cause an increased heart rate, which in turn affects the fetal heart rate, potentially leading to adverse effects on the fetus. High fever can also stimulate the uterus, causing uterine contractions and potentially leading to premature birth or miscarriage, or even fetal death. The specific situation of the pregnant woman should be considered, such as symptoms of a cold, physical condition, gestational age, and the environment, for a detailed analysis and treatment.
Hello, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy in your case is unlikely. It is more likely that you experienced a natural miscarriage after becoming pregnant. As for the ultrasound not showing anything, it is likely due to the pregnancy being too early.
