What Are the Risks of Having Uterine Fluid Accumulation During Pregnancy?
The intrauterine fluid accumulation in pregnant women is relatively small, mostly due to the changes in the endometrium after pregnancy, which presents a secretory phase and has many glands. The excessive secretion of these glands causes this, which is a physiological reason. It will be absorbed with the development of the fetus and has no adverse effects on pregnant women and fetuses.
If the amount of intrauterine fluid accumulation in pregnant women is large, accounting for 25% or more of the gestational sac volume, and caused by pathological reasons, there may be a risk of miscarriage. However, it is very one-sided to judge the risk of miscarriage solely based on the amount of fluid accumulation. It also needs to be diagnosed together with the location of the fluid accumulation, gestational sac, yolk sac, embryonic bud, and whether there is fetal heartbeat.
(1) Reasonable tocolytic treatment: When pregnant women experience intrauterine fluid accumulation, doctors will appropriately protect the fetus based on the actual situation of the pregnant woman. Generally, in the early stages of pregnancy, for those with low uterine hormone levels or deformities, progesterone can be supplemented to thicken the uterine wall, so that the embryo will not be expelled due to contraction, thus achieving the effect of protecting the fetus. If the pregnancy exceeds three months, progesterone has no effect on protecting the fetus.
(2) Progesterone tocolysis: There are many ways to supplement progesterone, in addition to taking progesterone, the common one is dydrogesterone tablets. If the reaction to progesterone is severe, vaginal medication or progesterone injection can be considered. If the doctor believes that progesterone is needed to protect the fetus, it should be used as prescribed. Supplementing progesterone in the early stage of pregnancy can inhibit uterine contractions, improve ovarian function, and adjust progesterone levels.
