Patient's question:

What is the reason for a miscarriage due to the absence of a yolk sac during pregnancy examination?

Doctor's answer:

After pregnancy, if there is no yolk sac visible around the 50th day of gestation, it indicates abnormal embryonic development. Alternatively, there may be a possibility of embryonic arrest. It could also be due to irregular menstruation with a shorter duration of amenorrhea. You can continue monitoring and consider a follow-up ultrasound at the hospital after one week. Blood tests should also be conducted to confirm the diagnosis.
It is recommended to visit a regular hospital to check blood progesterone and hCG levels to determine if there are any abnormalities, enabling timely treatment.
