All you need to know about miscarriage: symptoms, causes, consequences, prevention.

Although in most women pregnancy and childbirth proceed normally, without any problems, still some people have such serious complications as miscarriage, the symptoms and signs of which must necessarily be distinguished in order to immediately seek help from a doctor.

Miscarriage is an involuntary interruption of pregnancy, before the fetus develops sufficiently to live in the uterus. The percentage of miscarriage is about 15-20% of normal pregnancies. The signs of miscarriage in the early stages of pregnancy are quite diverse, much depends on the individual characteristics of the future mother.

The most common cause is the anomaly of the chromosome set (genetic structure) in the developing embryo or embryo.

Most chromosomal abnormalities are detected and torn away by the female body, and this usually occurs before the eighth week of pregnancy. During this period, miscarriage occurs most often. Symptoms can be detected quite easily. Vaginal bleeding and cramps in the small pelvis are the main signs of the threat of miscarriage, so they must definitely alert the woman.

The intensity of the manifestation of the symptoms of miscarriage depends, in the main, on the period of pregnancy. So, if the fetus is only 3-4 weeks, then the miscarriage that occurred can not be noticed at all, taking him for the started regular menstruation.

In many cases, the fetus dies a few days before the symptoms appear during miscarriage. In this case, it is impossible to prevent a threatening miscarriage.

If a miscarriage occurs in your home, then you need to collect all the pieces of tissue that left the uterus in a clean glassware and taken to a hospital for analysis. They will be examined to ensure that all pieces of tissue have come out. If something is left in the uterus, then to remove this, you will have to resort to curettage or vacuum suction.

Some women feel that something has gone wrong, even before the diagnosis of miscarriage, pregnancy symptoms such as breast tenderness, nausea several days before, many disappear. Fetal death can be confirmed by blood tests with a lowered level of chorionic gonadotropin, a hormone produced by a developing embryo. It is also possible to conduct an ultrasound examination, which reveals the absence of palpitation in the fetus.

Pieces of tissue that come out with miscarriage are also subjected to laboratory analysis in order to identify its causes. A small percentage of miscarriages occurs when the uterus takes an abnormal shape. In many cases, such an anomaly can be corrected surgically so that a woman does not have a miscarriage in the future. Symptoms of involuntary interruption of pregnancy can also occur when there are tissue scars on the inside of the uterus. They can appear after abortion or development of fibrous formation in the uterus. Both prevent the implantation of a fertilized embryonic egg on the endometrium.

The risk of a second miscarriage depends on the cause that caused the first. One miscarriage does not reduce the chances of the next healthy pregnancy. After a miscarriage, a new conception is possible, but only after normal menstruation occurs.

If a woman repeats several times a miscarriage, then this indicates a serious problem. In this case, it is necessary to undergo genetic testing and appropriate treatment to successfully complete the next pregnancy in the future.

To avoid the risk of repeated miscarriage, also follows during a new pregnancy and before planning it to adhere to a healthy and balanced diet, take vitamins and minerals, including necessarily folic acid.

This vitamin is especially important, since it does not allow a variety of intrauterine defects that may occur in the first three months of pregnancy. You should also try to avoid alcohol, caffeine, extra medicines, walk every day to be in good physical shape during a new pregnancy.
