Women need to check the secretion of HCG values in the early stages of pregnancy. If it is low, it indicates that there are certain health problems during pregnancy, especially severe cases of low levels, which may lead to the inability to conceive. So, what are the reasons for low HCG in early pregnancy?
Reason 1: Abnormal embryonic development
HCG, also known as human chorionic gonadotropin, increases rapidly every other day during early pregnancy, especially before 8 weeks of gestation. If the HCG level is found to be low, it indicates abnormal conditions during pregnancy. And common causes should consider abnormal embryonic development, and most of the reasons for abnormal development are due to chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo.
If certain medications that affect pregnancy health are accidentally taken during early pregnancy, it can also lead to abnormal embryo development. In addition, other factors such as radiation damage and infection of pathogenic microorganisms such as EB virus and cytomegalovirus in pregnant women are also important causes of abnormal embryonic development.
Reason 2: Ectopic pregnancy
Ectopic pregnancy, also known as ectopic pregnancy. After pregnancy, the fertilized egg does not implant and develop in the uterine cavity, but in other parts outside the uterine cavity, such as the fallopian tubes. At this time, HCG examination results may also be significantly lower than the normal reference standard value.
