What causes the gestational sac to stop developing?

The cessation of development of the gestational sac is a big deal for both the pregnant woman and the baby. It has a huge impact on the human body and must be discovered and treated in time. The so-called cessation of development of the gestational sac actually means that the baby in the pregnant woman's body does not develop for some reason. Therefore, if it is not discovered in time, it may cause very bad effects. After the gestational sac stops developing, some of the mother's reactions due to pregnancy will also disappear, such as morning sickness and nausea. However, the baby will also stop developing accordingly. So what is the reason why the gestational sac stops developing? Mothers must know something about this so that they can take precautions in advance.

1. Uterine environment:

The uterus is the only home for the embryo, and a good uterine environment will directly affect the development of the embryo. Uterine fibroids, endometriosis, endometrium that is too thin or too thick, intrauterine adhesions, and congenital cervical relaxation may all be factors that lead to embryonic development termination.

2. Endocrine disorders:

Insufficient endogenous hormones in women, such as insufficient corpus luteum function and insufficient progesterone secretion, may cause embryo arrest and miscarriage.

3. Environmental factors:

Pregnant mothers are exposed to a lot of physical factors such as X-rays, microwaves, noise, ultrasound, high temperature, etc. before or after pregnancy. Heavy metals such as aluminum, lead, mercury, and zinc are also factors that affect the implantation of fertilized eggs.

4. Chromosomal abnormalities:

Chromosomal abnormalities are an important factor that causes the embryo to stop developing, but this only happens in a very small number of people. If this is indeed the reason, then pregnancy will not be possible. There is currently no good solution to chromosomal defects.

5. Bad living habits:

Survey data from many countries show that smoking and drinking are very harmful to the development of the fetus. Women's smoking and drinking will directly affect their endocrine and reproductive system functions. Pregnant mothers' smoking and drinking will cause fetal malformations.

6. Symptoms

If embryonic arrest occurs, all pregnancy reactions of the pregnant mother will gradually disappear. First of all, there will be no more early pregnancy reactions such as nausea and vomiting, and the feeling of breast swelling will also be reduced. Then there will be vaginal bleeding, usually dark red bloody leucorrhea. Finally, there may be lower abdominal pain and expulsion of the embryo. The above symptoms vary from person to person. Some people may not even show any signs, but may directly experience abdominal pain and then miscarriage, or the embryo may stop developing without any symptoms and be discovered through routine B-ultrasound examination. Most pregnant women have no obvious symptoms after the fetus stops developing. Some pregnant women may have spotting, but generally have no abdominal pain, which is different from threatened abortion.
