My wife is currently 8 weeks pregnant, and during her last ultrasound, they couldn't detect any cardiac activity. The final report mentioned something about a likely missed abortion. Our gynecologist wants us to continue with the medication since there haven't been any miscarriage symptoms yet. We're pretty nervous about this and are anxiously waiting for the next ultrasound in 10 days. Could you shed some light on what to possibly expect? Is there still a chance for positive news? We're just trying to understand all of this.

Hi, It is usually a very stressful time if a heart beat is not discovered. Sometimes it can come a bit later and sometimes it can lead due to a miscarriage. In a missed abortion if usually dont get any symptoms.

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
