Patient's question:
I am 9 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Today, an ultrasound revealed a missed miscarriage. Could you please help me understand my situation and whether there's really no hope? Thank you all, thank you!First day of the last menstrual period on August 31;
Discovered pregnancy on October 2;
During this time, there was a small amount of brown discharge from the vagina;
On October 13, I went to the hospital for a blood test: progesterone: 16.84 g/mL, HCG: 19,222 mIU/mL;
Confirmed pregnancy, but development was poor, prescribed 7 days of pregnancy-preserving traditional Chinese medicine;
No brown discharge occurred during this time;
On October 30, I had my first ultrasound, with the following results:
Anterior-positioned uterus, normal cross-sectional shape, clear outline, and its cross-sectional size...
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Under normal circumstances, a gestational sac and fetal heartbeat can be observed on ultrasound at 7-8 weeks of pregnancy. The ultrasound examination on October 30th showed a fetal heartbeat, but today's ultrasound did not detect a fetal heartbeat, and there is also vaginal bleeding. This can be diagnosed as a missed miscarriage, also known as embryonic demise.Advice: There is no significance in preserving the pregnancy in cases of missed miscarriage. It is necessary to undergo an abortion procedure as soon as possible. Post-procedure treatment should include anti-inflammatory and uterine contraction therapy. Contraception should be used for six months before attempting to conceive again.
