Continuing pregnancy after intrauterine death of one fetus or more - what does this mean
Continuing pregnancy after intrauterine death of one fetus or more, also known as intrauterine fetal demise, occurs when a fetus dies in the uterus but the pregnancy continues. this can be caused by a variety of factors, including infection, placental abruption, and umbilical cord complications. it can also be caused by genetic abnormalities or complications of multiple pregnancy.
What happens during the disease - continuing pregnancy after intrauterine death of one fetus or more
Continuing pregnancy after intrauterine death of one fetus or more is a condition known as a “vanishing twin” or “vanishing twin syndrome”. it is caused by the failure of one or more embryos to develop normally, resulting in the death of the fetus and the absorption of the fetal tissue by the other fetus or the mother’s body. this can lead to a disruption of the normal hormonal balance, resulting in a disruption of the normal uterine environment. this can lead to an increased risk of preterm labor, preterm birth, and other complications.
