Doctor's answer:

Hello, electrocution refers to a disease where a certain amount of current or electrical energy passes through the human body, causing systemic and local injuries. If a pregnant woman is electrocuted, it will definitely affect the fetus inside her. If there is no abdominal discomfort and the electrocution duration is short, with immediate removal of the source, it generally has no impact on the fetus. If you are still concerned, it is recommended to actively seek medical attention and undergo relevant examinations to determine the condition of the fetus inside the uterus. It is advised to promptly visit a regular hospital for treatment, undergo related tests and examinations to clarify whether there is myocardial cell damage or other physical injuries, and observe whether the growth and development indicators of the fetus are normal.
