In the early stages of pregnancy, before the fetus develops and forms, the gestational sac slowly develops. At the beginning, the gestational sac is relatively small, and as pregnancy progresses, it will also gradually grow. The size and position of the gestational sac can be understood through ultrasound examination. However, some women may find that the gestational sac is small during pregnancy examination. So, what is the reason for the small gestational sac?
A small gestational sac may be due to physiological reasons. Some women have irregular menstrual periods and occasionally experience delayed periods, resulting in a later conception time and slower development of the gestational sac. This is normal and does not require special treatment. Women should pay attention to strengthening observation. As long as the gestational sac continues to grow, there are no major problems.
A small gestational sac may also be a pathological factor, such as poor development of sperm and eggs, and if exposed to toxic substances or infections during pregnancy, it can also cause slow development of the gestational sac. So in daily life, women should avoid these triggering factors and also pay attention to strengthening nutrition and enhancing their physical fitness.
When chromosomal abnormalities occur, the fertilized egg cannot develop normally, so it will be much smaller than a typical gestational sac. Before pregnancy, women should make relevant preparations and undergo pre pregnancy examinations. If any hidden diseases are discovered, they should be prevented in a timely manner to prevent fetal development problems.
