Embryo loss
(Redirected from Embryonic death)
Embryo loss refers to the phenomenon where an embryo does not survive during the early stages of pregnancy. This can occur due to a variety of reasons, including genetic abnormalities, maternal health issues, or environmental factors.
Causes[edit | edit source]
There are several potential causes of embryo loss. These include:
- Genetic abnormalities: These are the most common cause of embryo loss. They can occur in either the egg or sperm that forms the embryo, or they can occur after the embryo has formed.
- Maternal health issues: Certain health conditions in the mother, such as diabetes, thyroid disease, or autoimmune disorders, can increase the risk of embryo loss.
- Environmental factors: Exposure to certain environmental factors, such as radiation or toxic chemicals, can also increase the risk of embryo loss.
Symptoms[edit | edit source]
In many cases, embryo loss occurs before a woman even knows she is pregnant. When it occurs later in pregnancy, it can cause symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, and a sudden decrease in pregnancy symptoms.
Prevention and Treatment[edit | edit source]
Prevention of embryo loss primarily involves maintaining good health before and during pregnancy. This includes regular prenatal care, a healthy diet, and avoiding exposure to harmful environmental factors.
Treatment for embryo loss depends on the cause. In some cases, no treatment is necessary. In other cases, treatment may involve medication or surgery.
