Patient's question:
All symptoms: Hello, when I was six weeks pregnant, I had an ultrasound to check the fetal heartbeat, embryonic stalk, and primitive heart tube. The doctor said the development was good. However, by the seventh week, I had brownish discharge, so I had another ultrasound. The fetal heartbeat was no longer detectable, but the embryo was still about the same size as it was at six weeks. I haven't had any early pregnancy symptoms. Additionally, I haven't been using contraception since mid-last year, and I only got pregnant recently, but the heartbeat stopped soon after. What could be the reason for this? I have had an abortion in the past.Onset time and cause: Treatment history:
What I need help with: What could be the reason for this?
Doctor's answer:
Miscarriage is usually due to poor embryo development, which is a natural process of survival of the fittest. There's no need to overthink it. Additionally, severe pollution today is also a cause of miscarriage. There are many reasons that can lead to embryonic arrest, mainly including the following aspects: incomplete embryo development, abnormal fertilized eggs; poor placental development, Rh incompatibility between mother and child; endocrine dysfunction in women, reproductive organ diseases; systemic diseases in women during pregnancy; physical trauma or sudden emotional changes in women during pregnancy; male sperm quality issues, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination and symptomatic treatment.If you experience multiple instances of developmental arrest, it is necessary to visit the hospital for a comprehensive pre-pregnancy examination to determine if there are any underlying health issues. Chromosome testing should also be included. I hope this helps, and wish you good health and happiness.
