People often say that "the concentrate is the essence", but it is not always true. For example, a disease called "fetal growth restriction" will cause trouble to the fetus and the newborn. The fetus is not only lagging behind in length and weight, It will be accompanied by many developmental and intellectual problems. Early detection and timely treatment of fetal growth restriction, so that the fetus and other newborns are on the same starting line after birth!
"What is concentrated is the essence" is a line that has appeared repeatedly in the sketch. In "Cat and Mouse", the little mouse is the incarnation of cleverness, the French "little" means cute, and the English "smart" means elf. However, not all small and exquisite are cute. Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR) is one such situation.
Fetal growth restriction, formerly known as "Intrauterine Growth Restriction" (IUGR), refers to the abnormal size of the fetus that has not reached its genetic growth potential in the uterus, and the birth weight of the fetus is less than two of the average weight of the same gestational age. One standard deviation, or lower than the tenth percentile of normal weight for the same gestational age. At present, 6 out of every 100 fetuses in our country have growth restriction, and the death rate of the latter is 6-10 times that of normal developing babies, which is the second leading cause of perinatal death.
What causes fetal growth restriction?
mainly includes maternal nutrition supply, placental transfer problems and fetal genetic potential.
Maternal factors:
If pregnant women have partial eclipse or hyperemesis during early pregnancy, or insufficient intake of protein, vitamins and trace elements, it can lead to fetal growth restriction; some pregnancy complications and complications can reduce the blood flow and perfusion of the placenta Decline, resulting in inadequate intake of nutrition for the fetus; factors such as the age, region, weight, height, economic status, and uterine development abnormalities of pregnant women also affect the growth of the fetus; bad lifestyles such as smoking, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, intrauterine infection, maternal exposure to radiation or toxic Substances can affect the growth and development of the fetus.
Fetal factors:
Some substances that regulate fetal growth (growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor, leptin, etc.) have insufficient concentration in the cord blood, which will affect the fetal endocrine and metabolism; fetal gene or chromosomal abnormalities, congenital developmental abnormalities At times, it is often accompanied by fetal growth restriction.
Placenta and umbilical cord factors:
Placental lesions lead to reduced blood flow to the uterus and placenta and insufficient blood supply to the fetus; the umbilical cord is too long, too thin (especially too thin near the root of the umbilical cord), umbilical cord twisting, knotting, etc. Fetal growth retardation.
