Recurrent Miscarriage

What is Miscarriage?

A miscarriage is the spontaneous termination of pregnancy before the 20th week. It occurs in approximately 10–20% of known pregnancies and is a natural yet distressing event. While causes may vary—from maternal health complications, infections, to lifestyle factors—most miscarriages are due to genetic abnormalities in the developing fetus. Symptoms typically include vaginal bleeding, cramps, and tissue passage. Though emotionally challenging, support from healthcare professionals, counsellors, and self-care aids recovery. Understanding the causes and risk factors allows women to take preventive steps for a healthier pregnancy.

Types of Miscarriage

Miscarriages can present in different forms, each requiring specific medical care and counselling:

• Threatened Miscarriage: Vaginal bleeding occurs, but the cervix remains closed. Medical evaluation is essential to assess risk.
  
• Inevitable Miscarriage: Open cervix with heavy bleeding and cramps; pregnancy cannot be sustained. Medical intervention is usually necessary.
  
• Incomplete Miscarriage: Some tissue remains in the uterus, causing prolonged bleeding and cramps. Treatment options include natural expulsion, medication, or surgical removal.
  
• Complete Miscarriage: All pregnancy tissue passes, and symptoms resolve without further intervention.
  
• Missed Miscarriage: The embryo stops developing but remains in the uterus; usually detected via ultrasound. Treatments range from natural to medical or surgical options.
  

Symptoms of Miscarriage in Early Pregnancy

Early recognition of miscarriage symptoms enables timely medical help:

• Vaginal bleeding or spotting (light to heavy)
  
• Severe lower back pain or abdominal cramps
  
• Loss of pregnancy symptoms like nausea or breast tenderness
  
• Passing tissue or clots vaginally
  
• Sudden cessation of pregnancy-related symptoms
  

If you experience these symptoms, seek immediate care at Apollo Spectra Hospitals for appropriate management.

Causes of Recurrent Miscarriage

Recurrent miscarriage (two or more consecutive pregnancy losses) affects about 1% of women trying to conceive. Understanding the underlying causes is key to effective recurrent miscarriage treatment in Delhi:

• Genetic Factors: Chromosomal abnormalities in embryos cause 50–60% of miscarriages.
  
• Hormonal Imbalances: Low progesterone, thyroid disorders, PCOS, and uncontrolled diabetes can contribute to pregnancy loss.
  
• Uterine Abnormalities: Conditions like fibroids, septate uterus, or cervical incompetence hinder pregnancy maintenance.
  
• Autoimmune Diseases: Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) causes blood clotting issues affecting fetal growth.
  
• Infections & Chronic Conditions: STIs, lupus, hypertension, and bacterial infections may increase miscarriage risk.
  
• Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, alcohol, excessive caffeine, drug use, and exposure to environmental toxins can raise miscarriage chances.
  

Natural Ways to Prevent Miscarriage

Though some miscarriages cannot be prevented, adopting a healthy lifestyle reduces risk significantly:

• Balanced Diet: Consume folic acid, iron, and essential minerals from leafy greens, dairy, lean proteins, and nuts.
  
• Regular Exercise: Engage in prenatal yoga, walking, or swimming to improve circulation and reduce stress.
  
• Stress Management: Practice meditation, deep breathing, and ensure adequate sleep.
  
• Hormone & Ovulation Monitoring: Helps women with irregular cycles optimize conception chances.
  

Effective Recurrent Miscarriage Treatment in Delhi

Proper medical intervention can increase the success rate of future pregnancies:

• Progesterone Supplementation: Supports early pregnancy and implantation.
  
• Blood Thinners: Aspirin or heparin treat clotting disorders like APS to improve placental blood flow.
  
• Surgical Correction: Uterine abnormalities such as fibroids or septate uterus can be corrected surgically.
  
• Lifestyle Modifications: Weight management, quitting smoking, and improving nutrition support fertility.
  
• Genetic Counselling & Testing: Helps identify risks and options such as preimplantation genetic testing (PGT).
  
• Assisted Reproductive Techniques: IVF with genetic testing enables selection of healthy embryos, reducing miscarriage risk.

• Heavy or prolonged bleeding beyond two weeks
