Intrauterine Growth Retardation (IUGR) refers to poor growth of a fetus during pregnancy, resulting in a weight below the 10th percentile for gestational age. It is caused by factors like placental insufficiency, maternal health issues, or fetal abnormalities. IUGR increases the risk of complications such as preterm birth, low birth weight, and developmental delays. Early diagnosis and monitoring are essential for better outcomes.
