Because of the difference in physique, some women are relatively easy to get pregnant, but some women are delayed in getting pregnant, and there are also some people, even if they are successfully pregnant, the child is not easy to stay, and some are because of some unexpected situations.
However, some cases of miscarriage have inexplicably occurred, and for this type of miscarriage phenomenon, there is a special name in medicine, called recurrent abortion.
Recurrent miscarriage, what is the significance of checking HCG?
Two or more consecutive miscarriages are called recurrent miscarriages, and some people call them recurrent miscarriages, and there are many reasons for this.
These include chromosomal abnormalities, maternal reproductive tract abnormalities, maternal endocrine abnormalities, immune dysfunction, reproductive tract infections, cervical insufficiency, and thrombosis tendencies.
However, at present, it is not possible to determine what the cause of recurrent miscarriage occurs in clinical medicine, so it is more difficult to cure.
Therefore, this type of woman wants to get pregnant, and it is actually a little difficult to give birth to a baby smoothly, and after this type of patient becomes pregnant, the doctor will let them go to the hospital regularly to check the HCG value.
What exactly is the HCG value? What role does this refer to during pregnancy?
HCG refers to human villonic gonadotropin, which is a glycoprotein secreted by the trophoblast cells of the placenta, and the egg moves to the uterine cavity for implantation after fertilization, after which an embryo is formed, which grows into a fetus.
Placental ligature trophoblast cells produce a large amount of human chorionic gonadotropin, which can be excreted into the urine through blood circulation in pregnant women, as long as the concentration of HCG is detected in the urine, many situations in the pregnancy process can be known.
In the early stages of pregnancy, the concentration of HCG will generally increase significantly, and at two months of pregnancy, the HCG value will generally remain unchanged at a specific level.
Therefore, doctors can know the number of weeks of the fetus and the health status of development by checking the concentration of HCG in the urine of pregnant women, and can also supervise and judge the pregnancy of some mothers with symptoms of habitual miscarriage.
If the HCG value is lower than normal, this time is not a good phenomenon for these mothers with habitual miscarriage.
Why do doctors value HCG so highly? Dr. Wang of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department explains this question
For pregnant women with symptoms of recurrent miscarriage, the development of the fetus in the mother's body cannot develop smoothly like the baby of a healthy pregnant woman, and some babies may "die" even if they have a fetal bud fetal heart, but they may also "die" for various reasons.
A pregnant woman with a history of multiple miscarriages, when pregnant again, even all aspects of the examination are normal, but the growth of HCG value is unusually slow, at this time the doctor will often persuade the mother not to continue to protect the fetus.
Because the baby's development at this time is likely to be abnormal, the result of continuing to protect the fetus is likely to be futile.
In fact, not only mothers with symptoms of recurrent miscarriage, even if they are pregnant for the first time, or have already had a birth experience, they must continue to go to the hospital to check the HCG value regularly to ensure the normal development of the baby after checking the fetal heartbule.
Do not think that it is convenient to miss any examination in pregnancy, and carefully cooperate with the doctor, which is the only way to make the baby's birth smoothly.
