What is embryonic termination?

　　what is embryonic arrest？

　　A fertilized egg is like a seed. It goes through a series of complex and wonderful processes before it finally grows into a healthy For a baby, if the fertilized egg does not germinate well in the initial stage, it is likely to stop healthy growth. We call this phenomenon of embryonic cessation of development that occurs in the early stages of pregnancy "embryo arrest."

　　If a B-ultrasound examination is performed, fetal buds or buds in the gestational sac can be found. fetus The shape is irregular, there is no fetal heartbeat, or the gestational sac is withered. clinical It falls under the category of miscarriage or stillbirth. However, sometimes hormone levels remain high during pregnancy, masking the fact that fetal arrest has occurred, in which case you may not yet have symptoms of miscarriage. Therefore, embryonic termination is also called expired abortion.

　　What are the main reasons for embryonic termination?

　　There are many reasons for embryonic termination. The most common ones are as follows:

　　(1) Genetic factors: If there are chromosomal abnormalities or genetic defects, common ones include sperm Or chromosomal abnormalities in the egg.

　　(2) Insufficient hormone secretion is difficult to support embryonic development and leads to death.

　　（3）Uterus Cavity malformations prevent the embryo from growing.

　　(4) Viral infection during pregnancy, exposure to radioactive substances, toxic chemicals, taking drugs that are prohibited during pregnancy, high temperature, microwaves, noise, excessive stimulation, etc.

　　(5) Maternal factors: such as poor physical fitness or suffering from disease , Cervical atresia, luteal insufficiency, endometriosis, immune factors, diabetes, Hyperthyroidism wait.

　　(6) Male factors: such as a large amount of bacterial growth in semen and high sperm deformity rate.

　　Doctor's advice:

　　Once embryonic arrest occurs, the cause should be found. Without a clear diagnosis, treatment will be impossible. It is difficult to avoid the problem of embryonic termination from happening again. Items that need to be checked include: six items of reproductive hormones, five items of eugenics and prenatal care, anti-sperm antibodies, anti-cardiolipin antibodies, anti-chorionic gonadotropin antibodies, Chlamydia trachomatis, sperm quality, egg development, chromosomes, etc. Male examination items include: general andrology examination, sperm analysis, six items of reproductive hormones, immune antibodies, chromosomes, etc. Before the cause is determined, it is not advisable to get pregnant again to avoid causing another embryonic infertility.

　　What are the symptoms of embryonic arrest?

　　At 6-8 weeks after pregnancy, once you feel that the pregnancy reactions are getting lighter, such as early pregnancy reactions such as nausea and vomiting no longer disappear, and the feeling of breast swelling has weakened, you need to be more vigilant. These phenomena can be regarded as early symptoms of fetal arrest. Some patients have vaginal bleeding and dark red bloody leucorrhea, and some patients have lower abdominal pain, so they should go to the hospital for examination immediately.

　　Many restaurants offer dessert after the meal! From a nutritional point of view, the psychological effect should be greater than the actual function, just like chocolate makes people feel happy.

　　In addition, medical reports have pointed out that desserts after meals can easily accelerate aging, because starch and sugar are both foods that cause aging.

　　When is the best time to eat fruit?

　　Most people know that eating some fruit after a meal can help digestion. I would like to remind you that fruits are rich in minerals and vitamins. These two nutrients are actually easier to absorb when taken on an empty stomach, so the timing of eating fruit depends on the needs of pregnant mothers.

　　Not suitable activities

　　Since pregnant mothers are prone to esophageal reflux, it is recommended that they do not lie down after meals, but sit on their backs to rest. Even if they want to take a walk, they should wait more than 30 minutes after a meal.

　　The above symptoms vary from person to person, and some may even show no signs at all, and may cause abdominal pain directly, followed by miscarriage, or the embryo may be asymptomatic and discovered through routine B-ultrasound examination.

　　The B-ultrasound diagnostic criteria for fetal termination are: the embryo develops for ≥6 weeks without a gestational sac, or there is a gestational sac but it is deformed and shrunken; when the gestational sac is ≥4cm but no fetal bud is visible, and the length of the fetal head and arm is ≥1.5cm but there is no fetal heartbeat, abnormal embryonic development can be determined.

　　Although some people can completely miscarry on their own after fetal termination without the need for dilation and curettage surgery, this is very rare. Most women, after fetal termination, are advised by doctors to be hospitalized for dilation and curettage, because fetal termination is likely to lead to postoperative heavy bleeding, so they must be hospitalized for a period of observation.

　　How long after embryonic termination is the best time to get pregnant again?

　　After the female embryo is stopped, her physical strength needs to be restored, and the uterus and ovaries need to "rest." Abortion surgery will damage the endometrium. If the new endometrium has not grown well and you get pregnant again, the endometrium will be thin at this time, and the fertilized egg will not implant easily or fall off easily, which will cause another miscarriage.

　　Generally speaking, from a eugenic perspective, women who have experienced fetal termination should wait at least six months before becoming pregnant again, because it takes at least two to three months for human ovarian function to recover, and it takes at least half a year for the endometrium to recover.

　　How to prevent embryonic termination in subsequent pregnancies?

　　1. Relax mentally. Women who are preparing to become pregnant should not worry too much whether they or their friends have experienced miscarriage. Tension and pressure can lead to endocrine imbalance, which is also detrimental to the healthy development of embryos and fetuses.

　　2. Pre-pregnancy preparation, female friends should have an appropriate preparation period, pay attention to a balanced diet, regular life, physical exercise, pre-pregnancy check-ups, etc., and actively participate in the health classes specially prepared by the maternal and infant hospital for expectant mothers, communicate with doctors more, and gain a comprehensive understanding of various pregnancy knowledge before, during and after pregnancy.

　　3. Timely examination. Generally, the embryo has a fetal heartbeat around 8 weeks, and fetal arrest may occur between 8 and 12 weeks. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women should have a B-ultrasound around 8 weeks to check the development of the fetus and placenta early. If fetal heartbeat appears, you can generally rest assured.

　　4. Abortion treatment. When a pregnant mother is unfortunately diagnosed with fetal arrest, do not panic. Abortion treatment is usually required under the guidance of a doctor. Fetal arrest is different from early pregnancy. Medical abortion is not easy to completely eliminate the fetus. If it remains in the uterus for a long time, it will cause intrauterine infection, damage the endometrium, and then cause fallopian tube occlusion, leading to infertility.

　　5. Pregnancy will occur after half a year. Women who have already experienced fetal termination should, from a eugenic perspective, wait at least six months before getting pregnant again, because it takes at least two to three months for human ovarian function to recover, and it takes at least half a year for the endometrium to recover.
