What is estradiol in early pregnancy?

Estradiol is a hormone secretion substance. It is a hormone drug secreted by the female uterus and ovaries. It is an important estrogen, and during pregnancy, the level of estradiol is not fixed.

What are the effects of low estradiol levels in pregnant women on the fetus?

Too low estradiol levels are not conducive to creating a stable pregnancy environment and can easily lead to miscarriage. If a pregnant woman has symptoms of threatened abortion and her estradiol level is slightly low after testing, she needs to supplement estradiol in addition to prenatal treatment to increase the success rate of prenatal treatment. Estradiol should not be supplemented randomly, and incorrect operation will also have adverse effects on the fetus.

Generally, if the pregnant woman has no symptoms of low blood pressure, it will not have much impact on the fetus; if the pregnant woman goes into shock due to low blood pressure, it may lead to intrauterine distress syndrome due to ischemic oxygen deficiency in the fetus. We should actively treat shock, increase blood pressure, find out the cause of the disease, and make active and reasonable treatment.

Now everyone knows what estradiol is in early pregnancy. If the estradiol level is slightly low in early pregnancy, the pregnant woman is more likely to have a miscarriage. In this case, she must be very cautious. If necessary, she must carry out fetal preservation management and treatment under the guidance of a doctor to avoid the serious risk of miscarriage.
