Women need to undergo relevant examinations after pregnancy to determine if their baby is developing well. In the early stages, HCG value testing is usually performed to determine the quality of fetal development. Fetal arrest, which refers to the cessation of fetal development, can cause very serious consequences. So, will HCG still increase after fetal cessation?
Generally speaking, after fetal cessation, the HCG value does not immediately stop, and there may be a slight increase, but the magnitude of this increase is still relatively small. If the fetus is developing normally and the gestational sac is also developing well, the HCG value will double day by day, and the progesterone value will also increase.
However, there are also some fetuses whose HCG values increase but do not double after stopping development, and in this case, the growth rate of the fetus is also extremely slow. When testing for progesterone, the results are also relatively low. It cannot be ruled out that the embryo has stopped developing, and it needs to be judged promptly through ultrasound.
If the embryo and heart rate in the gestational sac develop normally, it indicates that the fetus is not very large. If the heartbeat stops, it means that the fetus has stopped developing. It is necessary to terminate the pregnancy in a timely manner to avoid the fetus staying in the uterine cavity for a long time, which may lead to uterine infection and cause some diseases and harm to the body.
