What causes a baby to stop growing in the womb?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The most common cause is a problem in the placenta (the tissue that carries food and blood to the baby). Birth defects and genetic disorders can cause IUGR. If the mother has an infection, high blood pressure, is smoking, or drinking too much alcohol or abusing drugs, her baby might have IUGR.

View allI'm a bit concerned because my recent TVS scan at 5 weeks and 5 days showed the yolk sac and fetal pole, but there wasn't a heartbeat detected yet. Should I be worried? Is it possible that the heartbeat will be detected in the next scan? Can you offer some guidance on what this might mean?
At 5 weeks and 5 days of pregnancy, it is not uncommon for the fetal heartbeat to not be detected yet. It is possible that the heartbeat may be detected in your next scan. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring.

I'm worried because I was 3 weeks pregnant and took the abortion pills prescribed by my gynecologist, but I've been told my womb wasn't cleaned out properly. Can you tell me how much it might cost to get my womb cleaned up?
Depends on various factors such as the healthcare facility, location, and specific procedures required. The cost can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. You may need to undergo a procedure called a dilation and curettage (D&C) to remove any remaining tissue from the uterus. Your doctor may prescribe medications such as Misoprostol to help with the process. It is important to follow up with your gynecologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Had laparoscopic cystectomy for a 7cm dermoid ovarian cyst on October 11th but still feeling sore around the incisions with abdominal pain and backache. How long until full recovery and is flying to another state 20 days after surgery safe?
Full recovery after a laparoscopic cystectomy can take 4-6 weeks, depending on individual factors. Flying 20 days after surgery might be risky if you're still experiencing pain, especially back pain, which can indicate discomfort from the surgery. It's best to consult with your surgeon before making any travel plans.
