Aspirin for the treatment for recurrent miscarriage?
Aspirin is also known as Acetylsalicylic Acid, and in standard tablets, there is roughly 325mg, whereas, in lower dose aspirin tablets, there is around 70-90mg of aspirin. Many doctors believe in using low dose aspirin in the management of miscarriage and recurrent miscarriage because they determined that Aspirin can increase blood flow to the uterus, boosting the fetus’s nourishment and development, and recommend that patients who have a history of miscarriage take at least one a day before and during pregnancy.
Here at Antai Hospital, our findings are quite to the contrary. We have discovered that Aspirin may in fact increase the chances of a miscarriage due to the fact they are commonly associated with threatened miscarriages and congenital deformities in the first trimester. Furthermore, they are also related to heart and kidney deformities in the growing fetus. There is no conclusive data that shows aspirin can improve pregnancy chances for women for the time being.
Why is Aspirin being prescribed to miscarriage patients?
During pregnancy, the developing pregnancy receives oxygen and nutrients from the placenta. And the placenta receives these important components from arteries and vessels in the uterus known as spiral arteries. Doctors believe that these developing pregnancies suffer from blood insufficiencies, which means the embryo/fetus is not getting the optimum level of oxygen and nutrients, due to the presence of blockage in the spiral arteries. They then believe that aspirin can in fact solve this problem by dilating the arteries and thinning the blood.
Aspirin is not an effective management method and is a potentially dangerous one, although it is a blood thinner, which means the blood flow to the uterus will in-fact be sped up, it does not deal with the underlying reason of the blood insufficiency, which is the presence of uterine malformations. Blood insufficiency threatened miscarriage is caused by the organic diseases mentioned above and cannot be treated via medication. Heparin and Aspirin do nothing to solve the tissue ratio imbalance in the uterus (uterine malformation), the morphology of the uterus, the blood-flow competition between the fetus and benign growths, the only effective method is via surgery.
Furthermore, during pregnancy, a mother is in a state known as Acquired Hypercoagulation. During the gestation period, the mother’s blood clots more easily than normal as a form of defense mechanism/natural protection, in the case of any bleeding injuries and potential vaginal bleeding. This can significantly reduce possible pregnancy complications related to bleeding as the mother can heal faster than usual. By administering Heparin or Aspirin to pregnant patients, it alters their normal pregnancy physiological state into a pathological problem. It reduces their blood clotting abilities, which puts them in a vulnerable state in case of a potential injury or infection, and potentially cause adverse or critical gestational problems.
Here at Antai Hospital, we understand that aspirin may have its use during pregnancy, but it cannot prevent miscarriages and is another example of iatrogenesis from many doctors. There are several studies that suggest there is no correlation between the use of aspirin and decreased chances of miscarriage.
