Pregnancy underdeveloped in the uterus

Pregnancy underdeveloped in the uterus's disease overview

Uterine retarded pregnancy syndrome (IUGR) is a condition of fetal malnutrition as soon as the womb is determined through the size And the weight of the fetus under the 10th or 5th, third and third segments (depending on the use document).

To determine if the fetus is really underdeveloped or stopped, it is necessary to measure the size and weight of the fetus at least 2 consecutive visits 1 week apart.

Babies underdeveloped in the uterus are at higher risk of death and diseases than other children such as: height retardation, early puberty, metabolic disorders causing diabetes, damage Kidney injury, endothelial damage

Causes of Pregnancy underdeveloped in the uterus's disease

Some of the main causes of fetal retardation in the uterus include:

Pre -eclampsia: is a disease that pregnant women have hypertension inhibiting veins that limit blood circulation to the placenta, which can not provide enough uterus. Nutrition for the fetus, the result is the retardation of the fetus in the uterus

Multi -pregnancy: Meeting nutritional needs for many fetuses will be more difficult than just one fetus and the risk of pre -eclampsia when pregnant is also higher. Up to 25-30% of pregnancy retarded during twins

Infection: Any infection in the mother during pregnancy (syphilis, measles, toxoplasma infection, cytomegalovirus) can lead to pregnancy growth Uterine

Inninal amniotic fluid: amniotic fluid is an important ingredient to help the fetus develop normally, if the amniotic fluid level is low due to any cause (the mother's health is not good, the use of the drug, the rust oh) can also lead to fetus underdeveloped

Weak placenta: The placenta, when not normal, will not provide enough oxygen and nutrients for the fetus

In addition, there are some other causes that can be mentioned as:

Mothers have small physique or lack of nutrients

The uterus has an abnormal shape or size

Mother bleeding or suffering from diseases such as gestational diabetes, sickle cells ...

Mother has an unhealthy lifestyle, alcohol, tobacco, toxic contact ...

The fetus is abnormal in chromosomes: Turner syndrome, down

Genetic and bone abnormalities in the fetus

Symptoms of Pregnancy underdeveloped in the uterus's disease

Signs of fetal retardation in the uterus often unclear, mainly detected when regular antenatal check -ups

Mothers can gain weight less than normal or have amniotic fluid condition

Mothers suffering from diseases such as hypertension, diabetes

People at risk for Pregnancy underdeveloped in the uterus's disease

Mothers at high risk of pregnancy underdeveloped in the uterus often have:

History of childbirth in the uterus

Less weight gain than usual during pregnancy

The height of the uterus is smaller than the gestational age

Having diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, red blood cells

History of smoking, alcoholism, use of stimulants

Twins or multiple pregnancy

infections or genetic disorders

History of exposure to toxic chemicals

Prevention of Pregnancy underdeveloped in the uterus's disease

Couples who plan to get pregnant need to see a doctor for advice on genetics

Mothers should avoid using stimulants, alcohol, tobacco before and during pregnancy

Limit foods, containing caffeine

Build a reasonable diet, supplement vitamins and minerals.

Gentle exercise about 30 minutes a day

When using the drug, the doctor needs to consult a doctor to avoid the medication that has side effects that make the pregnancy underdevelopment

Diagnostic measures for Pregnancy underdeveloped in the uterus's disease

The diagnosis of the uterus is underdeveloped based mainly on ultrasound because there is often no specific symptoms. However, there are some signs of postpartum retarded pregnancy suggested such as:

Pregnant women with a history of childbirth in the uterus

During pregnancy, the mother gained less weight than usual and the uterine height is smaller than the gestational age

Mother discovered a number of causes such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease

For a determinant diagnosis, it is necessary to rely on ultrasound because:

This is an effective method for diagnosis because it can compare the size of the fetus with the standard size, thereby evaluating pregnancy retarded in a balanced uterus or unbalanced.

up to 90% of cases of pregnancy retardation in the uterus with amniotic fluid and easily detected through ultrasound

capable of estimating fetal weight to compare with the average index

Pregnancy underdeveloped in the uterus's disease treatments

Currently there is no effective method to treat pregnancy underdevelopment in the uterus, need to closely monitor and carefully advise women and families during pregnancy

It is possible to treat hypertension if it is determined that it is the cause of pregnancy underdevelopment

Needed for pregnant women to rest, limit heavy labor

If the cause comes from chromosomal abnormalities or multiple deformities, it is advisable to appoint pregnancy, if the malicious defect should be consulted with the prenatal diagnosis center and surgeon for postpartum treatment

Use corticosteroids for pregnancy from 28 to 34 weeks

Continuous monitoring of fetal heart rate from week 26, evaluating the level of fetal heart and transformation of fetal heart rate

The pregnancy suspension is set after the comprehensive assessment of the gestational age, history, mother condition and the accompanying pathology and in the following cases:

The gestational age is over 31 weeks but the fetal heart rate is poorly fluctuated, the irregular irregularity over 1 week of monitoring, the lonely and prolonged slow, repeated time

34 weeks of gestational age that the umbilical artery doppler has a dysentery and abnormal stream of brain artery doppler, fetus showing signs of stopping progress

Gestational age over 37 weeks but abnormal Doppler umbilical artery, cerebral artery, monitor

In case of natural labor or pregnancy suspension without contraindications, monitoring as a normal delivery. If there is a fetal or amniotic fluid, there is a low adverse factor, the opposite is needed to have a cesarean section and the participation of a newborn recovery doctor.
