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 allMy recent USG pelvis scan showed a uterine polyp and bilateral ovarian cysts. The doctor recommended having hysteroscopy and laparoscopy done together. Is it safe to get both surgeries at the same time? What are the pros and cons of combining them versus doing them separately?
To guide you correctly, a thorough assessment is necessary.

I recently found out I have HSV1, but I tested negative for HSV2. I think my partner also has HSV1 and not HSV2. If he performs oral sex on me when he's not having an outbreak, is there a chance I'd end up with HSV2 genital herpes, or would it just be HSV1 genital herpes?
Since you and your partner both have HSV-1, the risk of transmitting HSV-1 to your genitals through oral sex is present, but you will not contract HSV-2; if infected, you may develop genital herpes caused by HSV-1, which tends to be less severe and less likely to recur compared to HSV-2.
