Maternal chromosomal anomalies
Anatomical, structural disorders
Congenital anomalies of the uterus
cervical insufficiency
intrauterine adhesions
- fibroids
- endometriosis
- hormonal disorders
- Progesterone hormone deficiency
- goiter
- diabetes
- Some other hormonal imbalances (polycystic ovary disease, high prolactin etc.)
- Microbial Infections (such as Listeria, Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma)
- Immunological (related to the immune system) disorders
- Antiphospholipid antibodies
- Antibodies against sperm
- Antibodies against placental elements
- Cellular immune system imbalances
- Collagen tissue diseases
- Environmental factors (toxic substances exposed in the living environment)
- Use of certain medications that may harm pregnancy
- chronic diseases
- heavy exercise
low material genetic examination It would also be very useful in this regard. Your physician will start specific treatment based on the results of the examinations for possible causes. In anatomical disorders surgical treatment is done.
However, it should be known that despite all examinations, recurrent miscarriages about half No cause can be determined.
immune system In disorders, successful results can be achieved by using Aspirin, heparin and steroids. Recurrent pregnancy losses When a woman becomes pregnant again, this pregnancy should be monitored more closely.
recurrent miscarriages Another option for couples who have problems and cannot benefit from all treatments is to take cell samples from many embryos created in the laboratory environment with In Vitro Fertilization Treatment, examine them and transfer the normal ones to the womb.
Genetic diagnosis before transfer (preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis - PGD or PGD in English) With this method called miscarriage, the possibility of miscarriage can be greatly reduced. Because, as mentioned before, the most common cause of miscarriage is actually abnormalities in the baby.
Does a baby dying in the womb poison the mother?
Substances that pass into the blood of the expectant mother when the baby dies in the womb for any reason blood clotting mechanism may affect it negatively. This situation among the public"dead baby poisoning mother" It is known as. When the baby dies, the later the gestational age and the longer it has been since the death, the more likely there will be problems. This clotting disorder can be a simple problem or a serious condition that results in the depletion of all clotting factors. This condition, called disseminated intravascular coagulation, can even cause death due to bleeding. Once it is determined that the baby is dead, the pregnancy must be terminated without delay. Before terminating the pregnancy, it is appropriate to investigate the degree of coagulation disorder and, if necessary, to have fresh blood available in accordance with the patient's blood type.
What is the risk of miscarriage recurrence?
The risk of a woman who has miscarried once to miscarry again in her next pregnancy is approximately 20%. The risk of a woman with recurrent miscarriages to miscarry again in a new pregnancy is approximately 50%. Although the risk of a new pregnancy ending in miscarriage increases as the number of miscarriages increases, studies show that even in these women, the probability of giving birth to a healthy baby is not at all low.
