Pregnant women need to undergo multiple prenatal check ups during pregnancy, and the results of various tests can be used to observe the development of the fetus. During pregnancy, it is important to pay attention to the HCG value. If the HCG value is low, it can affect fetal development and, in severe cases, may lead to miscarriage. What is the reason for the low HCG value?
There are many reasons for low HCG values during pregnancy, such as poor physical condition of the pregnant woman, ectopic pregnancy caused by the embryo not implanting in the uterus, poor development of the embryo itself, and taking harmful drugs during pregnancy. These reasons can all lead to low levels of HCG during pregnancy. If this occurs, it is necessary to go to the hospital for relevant examinations, identify the cause, and then receive targeted treatment to avoid affecting fetal development.
In addition to the above reasons, if a woman's menstrual cycle is irregular or ovulation is abnormal before pregnancy, it can lead to incorrect calculation of pregnancy time, which can also result in low HCG values. If all relevant checks are normal, it can be considered that the low values are caused by this reason. Don't worry too much about this situation, as the gestational age increases, the HCG value will gradually rise.
When the HCG value is low during pregnancy, pregnant women should rest more in bed and try to walk less. At the same time, you can eat some vegetables and fruits containing vitamin E, such as kiwi fruit and grapefruit, and you can also eat more foods containing soybean isoflavones, such as tofu, soybean milk, and bean products, which will help to improve the hcg value.
