Fetal arrest is not uncommon and usually occurs in the early stages of pregnancy, which can have a significant impact on women. After fetal arrest, the embryo may be expelled from the body, and the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the female body may decrease, which may be accompanied by vaginal bleeding. However, how to handle it safely after fetal arrest?
After fetal cessation, it is safer to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. Through the examination, the gestational age can be confirmed. If it is within 10 weeks, an induced abortion can be performed. If the gestational sac is large, an induced abortion surgery is needed. Before the surgery, a physical examination should also be done to prevent unexpected situations during the surgery.
At the same time as fetal arrest occurs, the embryo has already been expelled from the body. Women need to go to the hospital for examination to see if the embryo tissue has been completely expelled. If it has been completely expelled, there is generally no need for uterine curettage surgery. If it has not been completely expelled, uterine curettage is required for treatment. When a woman confirms that the fetus has stopped, she usually cannot see the fetal heart beating, and there is no need to protect the fetus. If not treated in a timely manner, the embryonic tissue in the uterus can remain for too long, which can easily lead to complications and be detrimental to women's health.
There are many factors that can cause fetal arrest. If a woman has a history of fetal arrest, it is best to undergo a pre pregnancy examination before the next pregnancy to actively adjust her physical condition before getting pregnant and reduce the risk of fetal arrest.
