"Biochemical pregnancy" may be the first time many people have heard this term. Sisters who have never experienced it must be at a loss. What does biochemical pregnancy mean, and what impact does it have on pregnancy?
Biochemical pregnancy: Biochemical pregnancy, that is, there is no clinical pregnancy. This symptom is now called "subclinical abortion" in medicine. It refers to the phenomenon that the sperm and egg are combined, but they fail to return to the uterus for implantation, and abortion along with menstruation.
Sperm and egg combine to form a fertilized egg. About the seventh day of fertilization, the fertilized egg differentiates into a trophoblast (the future placenta), implants in the endometrium, and gradually secretes hCG. Biochemical pregnancy is the phenomenon that the fertilized egg does not return to implantation in the uterus. Biochemical pregnancy generally does not affect the next pregnancy.
Causes of biochemical pregnancy:
1. It is generally believed that the cause of biochemical pregnancy is the same as that of spontaneous abortion. Embryo chromosomal abnormalities and defective fertilized eggs may be the main reasons for stagnation.
2, ovarian corpus luteum insufficiency, insufficient progesterone secretion, abnormal endometrium, affecting the implantation of fertilized eggs.
3. Uterine factors: uterine dysplasia, submucosal fibroids, endometrial polyps, intrauterine adhesions, endometrial tuberculosis, etc. affect the implantation of fertilized eggs.
4. Excessive mental stress, especially serious anxiety due to non-pregnancy, and excessive psychological pressure.
Biochemical pregnancy is generally due to poor quality of the fertilized egg and no successful implantation, because there is no implantation, and there is no harm to the uterus. It is equivalent to a few days later in this month's menstruation, so women do not need to worry too much.
Precautions after biochemical pregnancy:
1. Biochemical pregnancy does not require evacuation, but blood hCG needs to be monitored regularly to see its growth. It can be clear whether the gestational sac is alive or has been excreted. After confirming that the blood hCG has dropped to a normal level, the next pregnancy can be planned.
2. If the B-ultrasound examination shows that the body is in good condition, you can have the baby every other month or wait for three months.
3. Be careful not to have intercourse immediately after the biochemical pregnancy is over, let the uterus rest.
4. In terms of diet, eat more fish, meat, eggs, soy products and other foods. Eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins to speed up the body's recovery.
Biochemical pregnancy is also a kind of survival of the fittest in nature. In most cases, it will not affect the next pregnancy. Because the pregnancy time is short, the impact on the uterus is generally relatively small, and it will not cause harm to the body. Therefore, mothers-to-be do a good job of relevant examinations, take good care of their bodies, and maintain a good attitude to prepare for the next pregnancy!
