After finally conceiving a baby, some embryos will stop developing early in pregnancy due to various reasons, which is fetal arrest.
If fetal arrest has occurred, you can actively find the cause first, and then target treatment. This can avoid fetal arrest again the next time you become pregnant.
Why is fetal arrest occurring? Mostly related to these 4 reasons
1. Chromosome problems
Problems with chromosomal abnormalities can occur in both sexes, mainly in terms of chromosome number and structure, leading to the occurrence of fetal arrest.
Inspection items: Do a chromosomal examination and observe that the chromosomes have countless abnormalities in their eyes and structure.
2. Uterine disorders
The uterus is an important place for fetal development. If the uterine environment is not good, such as intrauterine adhesions, endometrial problems, mediastinal uterus, uterine fibroids, etc., these will affect embryonic development.
Inspection items: Through B-ultrasound, it is determined whether the size and shape of the uterus, the thickness of the endometrium and other indicators are normal, and whether there are lesions in the uterus.
3. Abnormal hormone levels
Only when the hormones are within the normal and reasonable range can the embryo grow and develop smoothly. If the hormone levels are high or low, such as lactation hormones are elevated, androgen indicators are elevated, estrogen indicators are too low, and progesterone indicators are too low, the secretion of these hormones will be insufficient. If it cannot meet the needs of the embryo, it may lead to fetal arrest.
Inspection items: Blood test to see if all the hormone indicators are within the normal range and if the fetal arrest is due to hormone problems.
4. Infectious factors
In the first trimester, if an infection of the uterus and pelvic cavity occurs, such as endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease, it can constitute an adverse effect on the environment inside and outside the uterus, leading to embryonic arrest.
Examination items: By B-ultrasound examination, see if any inflammation and infection have occurred in the uterus and pelvis.
5. Virus infection
If a viral infection occurs, such as cytomegalovirus, rubella virus, and herpesvirus, the probability of fetal arrest will also be relatively high.
Inspection items: Through blood tests, according to the virus antibody indicators, the infection can be reflected.
What should I do if I stop having a baby and then prepare for pregnancy?
After fetal arrest occurs, it is recommended to find the help of a professional doctor for examination Find out the cause, and then treat the cause , to avoid another fetal arrest.
Faced with fetal arrest, couples preparing for pregnancy should not panic or fear. As long as they detect problems early and intervene in time, and wait until their bodies recover and their fertility returns to normal before preparing for pregnancy, their wish to become pregnant and have children can be realized.
