Late Miscarriage Cause and Treatment 1: Cervical Insufficiency
Miscarriages are categorized primarily according to when they happen during the progression of the pregnancy. In general, they can be separated into two broad categories: Early miscarriage, which occurs within the first trimester or 12 weeks. Late miscarriage occurs during week 13 – week 20, but in some definitions, they are said to occur between week 13 till week 28.
We have previously discussed how complex early miscarriages can get with up to several different factors leading up to it. However, for late miscarriages, Antai Hospital has tabulated that it has 4 distinct and common factors which are: 1. Hyperemesis Gravidarum (can cause both early and late miscarriages) 2. Uterine Malformations 3. Cervical Insufficiency 4. Short Cervix. A pregnancy is considered very stable once it goes past week 12 of gestation, which makes late pregnancy quite rare in its occurrence. Rare, however, does not mean any occurrence.
Cervical insufficiency is the premature dilation of the cervix before labor due to cervical weakness, causing either one of two outcomes: a premature birth or pregnancy loss. Even the former carries a risk of potential fetal death and/or deformities due to not being fully developed, so ideally, we want to avoid both of these outcomes. Cervical insufficiencies can either be congenital, acquired due to surgical procedures or via birth traumas at the cervix region, causing muscles trauma that becomes what we know as Cervical Insufficiency.
To avoid this form of late miscarriage, we can conduct diagnosis and treatment either before pregnancy or under critical circumstances: during pregnancy. Diagnosis can be done via 4D color doppler ultrasound and treatment is a straightforward laparoscopic surgery: securing a singular Antai Cervical Ring on the inner orifice of the cervix, which increases the integrity of the cervical muscles, and securing the patient a full-term healthy pregnancy. The surgery can be completed very quickly and requires no stitches as compared to conventional management: the cervical cerclage which causes further complications during labor. Another benefit is that it increases the ease of removal of the cervical ring during labor.
