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 recently had my uterus polyp removed on the 23rd, and I started my period after three weeks. It's now the fourth day, and I feel like I'm still bleeding, but I'm not sure if it's regular period flow. Normally, my cycle used to last 5 days, but for the past two months, it's extended to 7 days. Typically, by the fourth day, my period would be much lighter, but now there's still a flow, and I'm uncertain if it's just part of the period or actual bleeding. I'm currently taking antibiotics and infection medication after the procedure. Is this normal after having a DC for polyp removal, or should I check in with my gynecologist?

Its normal to experience some changes in your cycle after a D&C or polyp removal, as your body is still recovering. However, if the bleeding seems heavier than usual or if you're feeling uncertain, its always best to consult your gynecologist to ensure everything is healing properly and to rule out any complications.

I just got scanned for infertility and the doctor found a cyst saying I need laparoscopic surgery right away because it's preventing pregnancy. Can you explain why this cyst is stopping me from getting pregnant and how urgent the surgery really is? Also, could you check the images I uploaded to see if surgery is the only option?

laparoscopic excision of the cyst is advised to the pt,gynaec review.

My mom had cervical polyp surgery in 2011 and again in 2018. Now she's having similar symptoms could cervical polyps keep coming back like this? Is it common for them to recur multiple times?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
