Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) refers to a condition where a fetus's growth and development within the uterus are limited, failing to reach the size appropriate for its gestational age. It is primarily characterized by a lower birth weight of the fetus compared to normal fetuses at the same gestational age, with a birth weight of less than 2500 grams after 37 weeks of pregnancy. IUGR is one of the important complications in obstetrics.
