Patient's question:
I am 9 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Today, an ultrasound revealed a missed miscarriage. Please help me understand my situation—is there 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 period, brown discharge occurred from the vagina, but not in large amounts;
On October 13, I had a blood test at the hospital: 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 period;
On October 30, my first ultrasound was performed, with the following results:
Anterior-positioned uterus, normal cross-sectional shape, clear contour, 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 on October 30 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 point in trying to save a missed miscarriage; it is necessary to undergo an abortion procedure as soon as possible. Post-procedure, anti-inflammatory and uterine contraction treatments should be administered. Contraception is recommended for six months before attempting to conceive again.
