Patient's question:
During the second check, it was said that the baby hadn't fully formed. The third check was on September 1st, and it was discovered that the fetus had an abdominal wall defect, so it was decided to terminate the pregnancy a week later. I want to know what caused the fetal abdominal wall defect. Could you please tell me the probability of misdiagnosing an abdominal wall defect in a 12-week fetus?Doctor's answer:
The causes of the high incidence of malformed infants, in addition to inevitable genetic mutations, are also related to environmental pollution, viral infections, reproductive tract infections, indoor (renovation), frequent use of radiation-related products, etc. Most diseases can be detected early through examinations. It is very important to strengthen prenatal care, especially early pregnancy care, and to raise the health awareness of young couples. During early pregnancy, embryos are particularly sensitive to some adverse external stimuli. Malformed fetuses result from abnormal differentiation caused by the impact of external adverse stimuli during the embryonic period.
