Question
What are the possible causes of embryo stopping development?
Answer
The possible causes of embryo stopping development include abnormalities in embryo development, placental abnormalities, maternal factors such as acute infectious diseases, severe anemia or heart failure, endocrine disorders, uterine malformation, fibroids or deformities, external factors such as the influence of toxic substances, and immune factors. It is recommended to undergo a chemical luminescence test for endocrine and anti-embryo antibodies between the 3rd and 5th day of the menstrual cycle, and a vaginal examination, dynamic digital hysterosalpingography, and vaginal four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound within 3 to 5 days after the menstrual period.
