Patient's question:
Why do babies experience fetal demise, and how long after pregnancy does it no longer occur?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally it is possible to determine if there is a fetal heartbeat after 2 months of pregnancy through an ultrasound examination. If there is no fetal heartbeat, it can be concluded that there is a missed miscarriage. There are many potential causes for a missed miscarriage. Before the next pregnancy, it is recommended to undergo a comprehensive examination, including tests for chromosomes, (blocking antibodies), (four items for pre-natal health), endometrium, and the six sex hormones. It is important to conduct the aforementioned tests.
