How to protect pregnancy with low hcg

The Hcg value is a very important indicator for pregnant women and women preparing for pregnancy. If a woman's Hcg value is relatively low, it can easily lead to threatened miscarriage. Therefore, when it is detected that your Hcg value is low, you must take certain measures to protect the fetus. Below, we will introduce in detail the causes, dangers and methods of preserving pregnancy of low Hcg values!

1. What is the reason for low hcg

1. There may be a high possibility of placenta or miscarriage, so expectant mothers must pay attention to it. They should supplement folic acid and foods containing gonadotropin, and they can eat some fetal-stabilizing foods appropriately.

2. The reason for low hcg may also be ectopic pregnancy, but ectopic pregnancy must be confirmed by examination in the hospital. The gestational sac can usually be detected at 40 days of pregnancy. In a normal intrauterine pregnancy, HCG levels approximately double every (2.2±0.5) days during the first 3 months of pregnancy. The HCG level in the blood of ectopic pregnancy increases slowly, and may only increase by 60%. Therefore, it is recommended to recheck the HCG level in the blood and provide symptomatic treatment after a clear diagnosis.

2. What to do if hcg is low

If your hcg level is low, you should first follow your doctor's advice and not make decisions blindly. The length of pregnancy will affect the hCG test value, and professional judgment is required to ensure the accuracy of the data.

If the hcg value is too low, you need to rest, preferably in bed, and avoid activities to avoid miscarriage due to activities. You should supplement more vitamins when you rest.

If the hcg value is too low, you can take dydrogesterone tablets or progesterone capsules. Taking medicine is absorbed more slowly, but it is convenient and can be taken at home.

You can also take progesterone injections directly, but remember to complete a course of treatment before looking at the results. During the treatment, it is still necessary to continue to monitor the progesterone index, and only after it stabilizes at normal values ​​can you decide whether to continue treatment.

Combined with estrogen injections to regulate the body's endocrine system. Estrogen stimulates the body to secrete progesterone to achieve the purpose of nourishing the fetus.

3. The significance of hcg test

Many people are not clear about the significance of hCG testing. In fact, hCG testing is of great significance for the diagnosis of pregnancy in early pregnancy. It has a good diagnosis for diseases related to early pregnancy, trophoblastic tumors and other diseases, and also plays a certain role in identification and disease course observation.

1. Diagnosis of early pregnancy: hCG can rise to greater than 2500 IU/L 35 to 50 days after pregnancy. It can reach 80,000 IU/L in 60 to 70 days. The urine hCG in multiple pregnancies is often higher than that in single pregnancies.

2. Determination of abnormal pregnancy and placental function.

(1) Ectopic pregnancy: In the case of ectopic pregnancy, this test has a positive rate of only 60%. hCG may still be positive 3 days after uterine bleeding, so hCG examination can be used to differentiate it from other acute abdominal diseases. hCG is usually 312-625 IU/L.

(2) Diagnosis and treatment of miscarriage: In the case of incomplete miscarriage, if there is still placental tissue remaining in the uterus, the hCG test may still be positive. In the case of complete miscarriage or stillbirth, the hCG test will turn from positive to negative, so it can be used as a reference for preserving the fetus or aspirating the uterus.

(3) Premature abortion: If the hCG level in urine remains high, inevitable abortion will not occur. If hCG is below 2500 IU/L and gradually decreases, there is a possibility of miscarriage or stillbirth. When it drops to 600 IU/L, miscarriage is inevitable. During the treatment to preserve pregnancy, if hCG continues to decrease, it means that the pregnancy preservation is ineffective. If hCG continues to rise, it means that the pregnancy preservation is successful.

(4) On the 4th day after delivery or 13th day after artificial abortion, serum hCG should be lower than 1000 IU/L, and on the 9th day after delivery or 25th day after artificial abortion, serum hCG should return to normal. If this situation is not met, the possibility of abnormality should be considered.
