In a recent inquiry, a patient approached me with concerns about recurrent miscarriages, stating, “I’m pregnant, but unfortunately, I’ve experienced repeated miscarriages. It seems like my luck is not on my side. What should I do?” Faced with such a question, it is crucial to recognize that whether it’s recurrent or spontaneous miscarriage, identifying the true causes behind the miscarriage is paramount.
To begin with, recurrent miscarriages are not merely the twists of fate but rather signals of underlying health issues. Confronting this challenge, we must not simplistically attribute it to “bad luck” but instead focus on pinpointing the fundamental reasons.
The causes of early miscarriages primarily involve the ovaries, uterus, immune system, and endocrine factors. Ovarian issues may impact the quality of eggs, while uterine problems may include immune reactions and hormonal imbalances. Therefore, undergoing timely examinations to identify the issues is the first step in preventing a recurrence.
As for late-term miscarriages, factors may include cervical incompetence, uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, and severe morning sickness. Addressing cervical incompetence may require cervical cerclage surgery to enhance stability. Surgical or medical interventions may be necessary for uterine fibroids and adenomyosis. Additionally, severe morning sickness can lead to metabolic disturbances, requiring prompt and effective relief.
In conclusion, when faced with the distress of pregnancy-related miscarriages, it’s essential not to be swayed by superstitions but to actively seek the true underlying causes. Only by identifying the root causes and implementing targeted treatments can a subsequent pregnancy be more secure and successful. We hope every expectant mother desiring a healthy baby can navigate a smooth pregnancy and welcome a blissful family.
