Ultrasound 4D: diseases — симптомы, диагностика и лечение

A frozen, or non-developing, pregnancy is a condition in which the embryo has stopped developing, but a miscarriage has not occurred and the fertilized egg remains in the uterine cavity. The woman may still feel pregnant for some time. The first thing that is important to say: in the vast majority of cases, the cause is random chromosomal abnormalities of the embryo, that is, an event that could neither be foreseen nor prevented. This is not a consequence of a lifted bag, a flight, stress at work or a cup of coffee. The feeling of guilt here is natural, but from a medical point of view it is groundless, and the first thing to do is to remove it from yourself.

An ectopic pregnancy is a condition in which a fertilized egg implants outside the uterine cavity, most often in the fallopian tube. Such a pregnancy cannot develop and is always interrupted, and when the tube ruptures, internal bleeding occurs, which is life-threatening. This is one of the main reasons why, if your period is delayed and you have pain in the lower abdomen, you should consult a doctor rather than wait.

Miscarriage is its spontaneous termination before a certain period. One miscarriage happens quite often and in most cases is associated with an accidental chromosomal breakage in the embryo - this is not the woman’s fault and is not an indicator of her health. Recurrent miscarriage and the need for examination are spoken of in case of repeated losses, and there is already a clear algorithm for searching for the causes.
