Many cases of failure to conceive can be caused by infectious or non-infectious agents. One of the cases that arise during pregnancy is fetal mummification. Fetal mummification is the death of the fetus in the mother's uterus without experiencing microbial contamination, and the amniotic fluid is absorbed by the body so that the fetus becomes dry. Mummification is caused by non-infectious agents, can be diagnosed by ultrasound, and hormone therapy or surgery can be performed.
