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.

I'm married and I'm concerned because I think my vagina might be too loose. I'm also dealing with a white discharge issue. What steps can I take to address the loose vagina? I'm really looking forward to some guidance on this.
Loose vagina can be addressed through lifestyle changes, self-care, and medical interventions. Here are suggestions: Lifestyle Changes 1. Kegel exercises: Strengthen pelvic floor muscles (10-15 reps, 3 setsday). 2. Healthy diet: Include omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and probiotics. 3. Hydration: Drink plenty of water. 4. Exercise: Regular physical activity. 5. Stress management: Yoga, meditation, or deep breathing. Self-Care 1. Vaginal tightening creams: Containing estrogen, vitamin E, or plant extracts. 2. Vaginal estrogen therapy: For hormonal imbalance. 3. Pelvic floor physical therapy: To strengthen muscles. Medical Interventions 1. Consult a gynecologist: Rule out underlying conditions (infections, hormonal imbalance). 2. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT): For menopause-related vaginal looseness. 3. Surgical options: Last resort, e.g., vaginoplasty or labiaplasty. White Discharge 1. Consult a gynecologist: Determine underlying cause (infection, hormonal imbalance, STIs). 2. Antifungal or antibacterial medications: If fungal or bacterial infection. 3. Yeast infection treatment: Antifungal creams or oral medications. Additional Tips 1. Practice safe sex: Use condoms to prevent STIs. 2. Get regular check-ups: Gynecological exams every 6-12 months. 3. Maintain good hygiene: Cleanliness and proper vaginal care.
