Repeated miscarriages
A very sad thing! A few days ago, I had to go to the doctor due to some problem. Then I saw a woman expressing her frustration to the doctor about her miscarriage. Her child repeatedly came into her womb and then left without appearing! I can't explain how painful this is! It seemed to me - as if her favorite rose tree had buds but for some reason, they fell before they could bloom!
After we got married, at first, we naturally thought
that our golden family would be filled with the light of children. The elders
of the family also smiled with such hopes. But if we are not aware, God can cry.
Because God has also instructed us to be aware us to lead a healthy life.
Due to ignorance, we suffer a lot unnecessarily.
Not only this woman, I have seen some of my close relatives
struggling with this problem all their lives before my eyes. So what I have
learned from the experts after doing some research -
If someone has three consecutive miscarriages or
abortions, medical science calls it 'recurrent pregnancy loss'. Such patients
should be tested and confirmed before getting pregnant again, why and for what
reason this is happening repeatedly. With appropriate treatment, good results
are obtained most of the time and there is a possibility of giving birth to a
healthy child later.
Doctors
say about some common causes of repeated miscarriages and their treatment
-
1. Deficiency of progesterone hormone - This hormone
is helpful in pregnancy. It is usually secreted by the corpus luteum. If there
is repeated abortion of five/six weeks, good results can be obtained by giving
progesterone hormone support. In that case, you should consult a doctor in
advance and make preparations.
2. Uncontrolled diabetes - Diabetes is one of the
causes of miscarriage. Those who are already suffering from diabetes or develop
diabetes during pregnancy should plan pregnancy only after strict control.
3. Thyroid problems: Either hypo or hyperthyroid can
cause recurrent abortion. However, patients with hypothyroid problems are more
common. Levothyroxine or anti-thyroid, which is necessary - should be taken as
per the doctor's advice. Before pregnancy and in the first month, the TSH level
should be below 2.5.
4. High blood pressure: High blood pressure can cause
stunted growth of the baby, abortion may occur or even death of the baby in the
womb. Therefore, if you have high blood pressure, it should be kept under
proper control and safe medicines should be taken during pregnancy.
5. Antiphospholipid syndrome: If lupus or
antiphospholipid antibody is positive, blood clots can form during pregnancy
and the blood supply to the fetus is disrupted. As a result, the heartbeat
stops. In case of repeated miscarriage or abortion, a lupus antibody test
should be done. In this case, regular aspirin and low molecular weight heparin
should be given during pregnancy, as advised by a doctor.
6. Chromosomal problems: One of the main reasons for
repeated abortions in the first three months is the problem with the
chromosomes of the fetus. In such a problem, the parents may also have to do
chromosome structure or karyotyping. If someone finds such a problem, then PGD
test of the fetus is done with IVM treatment and healthy embryo transplantation
is done.
7. Weakness of the cervix or cervix: If the cervix or
cervix is not very strong, it cannot hold the fetus and eventually the water
breaks. The baby is delivered prematurely without pain. Usually there is no
problem in the first three months. But then the miscarriage occurs. In this
case, the cervix has to be closed through treatment.
8. Uterine tumor or structural problem: Abortion can
occur if there is a tumor in the uterus, a problem with the centrum or membrane
in the uterus or a problem with the structure of the uterus. These problems can
be diagnosed by ultrasonography. In such cases, surgery should be done before
the next pregnancy. Due to repeated miscarriages, women may suffer from mental
problems and depression. Mental health should be taken care of. Most of the
problems can be diagnosed and solved through proper tests.
