Intrauterine Growth Retardation

The main cause of intrauterine growth retardation is the growth restriction of the fetus, that is, the poor function of the placenta causes adverse symptoms for the fetus. At the same time, the pathological conditions of the pregnant woman's body and some placental restrictions put the baby's internal environment at risk. These will affect the number of fetuses and reduce it. At the same time, it will have a certain impact on the growth and development of the fetus. The main treatment method for intrauterine growth retardation in daily life is mainly bed rest.

The treatment method for intrauterine growth retardation is bed rest, some analysis of the cause and then some diagnosis. In daily life, improving the quality of diet, sharing the protein in the diet, and reasonable combination of meat and vegetables can improve the nutritional status. Most of the growth restrictions can be corrected. Be sure to maintain a good attitude for better treatment and diagnosis.

(1) Bed rest: Lying on the left side can restore renal blood flow and renal function to normal, thereby improving blood supply to the uterus and placenta. Many cases can be seen clinically. After 1 to 2 weeks of bed rest, the height of the uterine fundus quickly increases from below the 10th percentile to the 50th percentile. Finally, the fetal growth restriction is corrected and a well-developed newborn is delivered.

(2) FGR has many causes, including reduced availability of nutrients in the maternal blood or impaired exchange across the placenta. Therefore, the theoretical basis for the treatment of FGR is complementary therapy, but so far this therapy has not been very effective. In recent years, direct access to the fetal circulation through umbilical vascular puncture has opened up a new way for intrauterine treatment. The treatment measures are concentrated in two aspects:

① Active nutritional supplementation: Experimental FGR, there are many ways to reduce the nutrients entering the developing fetus. Charhon et al. evaluated methods of increasing fetal nutrient availability to prevent FGR in a fetal sheep experimental model. The experiment used repeated uterine microsphere embolization to damage the placenta and cause severe FGR in the fetus. Glucose and amino acid supplementation were injected into the embolization group to prevent the occurrence of FGR and compared with the control group. An increase in fetoplacental volume was observed after administration of nutrients via the femoral vein. Study suggests that nutrient delivery via femoral vein may prevent fetal and placental growth restriction

The above is what to do if intrauterine growth retardation occurs. The treatment method is bed rest, some analysis of the cause and then some diagnosis. Improve the quality of diet in daily life, share the protein in the diet, and improve the nutritional status through a reasonable combination of meat and vegetables. Actively supplement some nutrients and be sure to carry out treatment in time. It is also very critical for the fetus. Keep up the good work.
