Miscarriage

Miscarriage

Overview

A miscarriage is the unexpected loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week. It is also known as an unplanned abortion. At the same time, it can be a hurtful experience. Miscarriages mostly occur in the first trimester. Research says miscarriage affect 10-20% of known pregnancies. One of the most common causes of miscarriage is chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus.

Miracles Apollo Cradle is the best gynecologist hospital in Gurgaon. They offer a complete range of diagnosis and treatment of miscarriage. With an experienced team of the best gynae doctors in Gurgaon, and cutting-edge technology, they are dedicated to providing personalized care. They have proven success in handling even the most complex cases and offer a supportive environment to help you through this difficult time.

The treatment for miscarriage depends on its stage and specific circumstances:

  1. Natural Resolution: In many cases, the body naturally expels all pregnancy tissue, and no medical intervention is required. Regular follow-ups ensure the uterus is clear and healing properly.

  2. Medication: If tissue remains in the uterus, your doctor may prescribe miscarriage medication like misoprostol to help the uterus expel the retained tissue safely.

  3. Dilation and Curettage (D&C): If tissue remains after medication or if there’s heavy bleeding or infection risk, a minor surgical procedure called dilation and curettage (D&C) is performed. This involves gently removing retained tissue to prevent complications and promote healing.

It’s important to seek medical care immediately if you experience heavy bleeding, severe abdominal pain, or signs of infection like fever or foul-smelling discharge.

While not all miscarriages can be prevented, taking proactive measures may reduce the risk. Below are actionable steps to consider before and during pregnancy:

Before Pregnancy

  1. Take Folic Acid: Begin taking folic acid (400–800 mcg daily) at least 1-2 months before conception to reduce the risk of neural tube defects and support fetal development.

  2. Maintain a Healthy Weight: Achieve and maintain a healthy weight, as obesity or being underweight can increase the risk of miscarriage.

  3. Eat a Balanced Diet: Incorporate whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid processed foods, excessive caffeine, and sugary drinks.

  4. Exercise Regularly: Engage in moderate physical activity (e.g., walking or swimming) for at least 30 minutes most days of the week to improve overall health.

  5. Manage Stress: Reduce stress through relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation, or mindfulness. Stress can negatively affect pregnancy outcomes.

  6. Avoid Smoking, Alcohol, and Drugs: Quit smoking, avoid alcohol, and refrain from using recreational drugs, as these significantly increase the risk of miscarriage.

  7. Get Adequate Sleep: Ensure 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night to promote physical and emotional well-being.

  8. Manage Pre-Existing Medical Conditions: Consult your doctor to manage health conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, or uterine abnormalities before trying to conceive.

During Pregnancy

  1. Take Prenatal Vitamins: Continue prenatal vitamins to provide essential nutrients for your baby’s growth and development.

  2. Listen to Your Body: Report any unusual symptoms, such as vaginal bleeding, severe abdominal pain, or unusual discharge, to your gynecologist immediately.

  3. Attend Regular Checkups: Schedule and attend regular prenatal checkups to monitor your health and your baby’s development.

The risk of miscarriage varies depending on different factors. These factors do not guarantee a miscarriage but may increase the risk. 

  • History of Miscarriages: If you have a history of miscarriages, then there is an increased risk of miscarriage in future pregnancies.

  • Medical Conditions: Some medical conditions, such as diabetes, thyroid, uterine abnormalities, and cervical insufficiency, can increase the risk of miscarriage.

  • Lifestyle Factors: Some lifestyle factors can increase the risk of miscarriage. These factors can be obesity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and the use of drugs.

  • Age:

    • Under 30 Years: Around 10% of pregnancies end in miscarriage.

    • 35-39 Years: The risk of miscarriage at this age increases to around 20%.

    • 40-44 Years: The miscarriage risk rises to about 35%.

    • Over 45 Years: More than 50% of pregnancies in this age group end in miscarriage.

  • Other Factors:

A miscarriage, also known as a spontaneous abortion, is the loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week. It is a common complication, often caused by genetic abnormalities, hormonal imbalances, or medical conditions. Symptoms may include vaginal bleeding, cramping, or tissue passage. If you suspect a miscarriage, consult a gynaecologist near you immediately for evaluation and support.

When you suspect a miscarriage, your gynecologist will follow a thorough diagnostic process, which includes:

  1. Medical History and Symptoms: Your doctor will ask about your medical history, previous pregnancies, and the symptoms you are experiencing, such as vaginal bleeding or cramping.

  2. Pelvic Exam: A pelvic exam is conducted to check if the cervix has opened, which can indicate an ongoing or completed miscarriage.

  3. Diagnostic Tests: Depending on your condition, the following tests may be performed:

    • Ultrasound: To confirm whether the pregnancy is viable or if there is retained tissue in the uterus.

    • Blood Tests: These measure hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) levels to determine if the pregnancy hormone is increasing or decreasing, providing insight into pregnancy progression.

The miscarriage types include:

  • Early Miscarriage: The early miscarriage occurs before the 12th week of pregnancy. This type of miscarriage accounts for the majority of miscarriages.

  • Late Miscarriage: The late miscarriage typically occurs during the 12th and 20th weeks of pregnancy.

  • Threatened Miscarriage: In this type of miscarriage, the cervix remains closed, vaginal bleeding or cramping occurs and the pregnancy may continue.

  • Inevitable Miscarriage: In inevitable miscarriage, the signs and symptoms like bleeding and cramping are more severe. The symptoms indicate the pregnancy cannot be saved.

  • Completed Miscarriage: The pregnancy tissue has been removed from the uterus naturally.

  • Incomplete Miscarriage: Part of the pregnancy tissue remains in the uterus. This type of miscarriage requires medical intervention.

  • Missed Miscarriage: The fetus has died but the body hasn't discharged it yet.

Miscarriage symptoms can vary, but common signs include:

  • Light or heavy vaginal bleeding.

  • Cramping or pain in the lower abdomen.

  • Passing tissue or blood clots.

  • Discharge of fluid or tissue from the vagina.

  • Nausea, diarrhea, or other physical discomforts.

If you experience any of these symptoms, consult a gynecologist immediately for an accurate diagnosis and care.

The common causes of miscarriage include:

  1. Chromosomal Abnormalities: The most frequent cause is where genetic issues prevent the embryo from developing properly.

  2. Medical Conditions: Uncontrolled diabetes, thyroid disorders, or hormonal imbalances can increase miscarriage risks.

  3. Uterine Abnormalities: Structural issues, such as fibroids or a septate uterus, may lead to pregnancy loss.

  4. Cervical Insufficiency: When the cervix opens prematurely during pregnancy, it can cause miscarriage.

  5. Infections: Conditions like rubella, cytomegalovirus, or untreated sexually transmitted infections can impact pregnancy.

  6. Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, or drug use are significant risk factors.

If you notice any signs of miscarriage or have concerns about your pregnancy, seek immediate consultation with a gynecologist.

Ideally, you should make your first appointment with your obstetrician at 6-12 weeks of your pregnancy. Your doctor will calculate your due date, detect any potential health risks for your pregnancy, and advise you on prenatal supplements. The typical prenatal visit schedule is as follows:
- During the first trimester of your pregnancy, you will need to see your doctor once a month.
- During the second trimester, you will need to visit once every two weeks.
- When you reach the third trimester, you will need to visit your doctor every week.

Some factors that might increase your number of visits to your doctor are age above 35 years, having any pre-existing health condition, or experiencing pelvic pain or vaginal bleeding.

A high-risk pregnancy refers to a pregnancy where there is an increased likelihood of complications for the mother, baby, or both. Factors that make a pregnancy high-risk include high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, being older than 35, being underweight or overweight, multiple births, smoking, drug addiction, and excessive alcohol consumption. Early and regular prenatal care can help women have healthy pregnancies and deliveries without complications.
