Hyperemesis Gravidarum and Recurrent Miscarriage
What is Hyperemesis Gravidarum?
Dr Chen Fenglin’s clinical research revealed that Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) is a hypersensitization reaction towards Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) cause by abnormal receptors. However, hCG is a reproductive hormone and the main indicator of a pregnancy. Hence, hCG must be present in the body during a pregnancy. So, what happens if you are hypersensitized to the very reproductive hormone that is indispensable for the maintenance of a pregnancy?
Well, you will develop severe symptoms such as frequent, severe vomiting as one of the reactions of hCG hypersensitization reaction, causing a condition termed as “hyperemesis gravidarum”.
Complication of Hyperemesis Gravidarum – Recurrent Miscarriage
There are two main factors that can lead to an early miscarriage – uterine contractions and improper implantation. Hyperemesis gravidarum can cause both factors.
- Uterine Contractions
Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) can lead to miscarriage because it involves frequent severe vomiting. As the uterus is made of smooth muscles, the uterus will contract each time you are vomiting. The frequent contraction of the uterus can potentially cause the embryo to be dislodged from the basal layer of the endometrium due to the unstable environment of the uterus. This will then lead to a miscarriage and even recurrent miscarriage if the HG is left untreated.
- Improper Implantation (Low Progesterone)
Severe vomiting due to hyperemesis gravidarum can also lead to undernutrition and eventually miscarriage due improper implantation caused by low progesterone levels.
Low progesterone is a complication of HG that can lead to miscarriage. Patients with HG will basically vomit out everything they consume. When there is no food left in the stomach, they might vomit bile, blood, stomach acid or even the stomach lining.
As a result, patients will suffer from undernutrition, affecting the ability of the corpus luteum to produce progesterone. The progesterone is key to maintaining the pregnancy in the first trimester as it promotes the development of the chorionic villi. The chorionic villi are a hair-like substances that forms the outer layer of placenta and the “hair” acts like tree roots that burrows into the basal layer of the endometrium to ensure proper and secure implantation of the embryo. Secure implantation will reduce the sensitivity of uterine muscles and supress contractions, providing a stable environment for the embryo to grow.
Hence, undernutrition resulting from of severe vomiting affects the ability of the corpus luteum to produce sufficient progesterone. Low progesterone levels will in turn hinder the development of chorionic villi and lead to insecure and improper implantation of the embryo. With improper implantation of the embryo, the embryo will be dislodged from basal layer of the endometrium easily and a miscarriage will occur. Patients will suffer from recurrent miscarriage if hyperemesis is left untreated.
- Immunological Factor – Immunological RSA (anti-embryonic antibodies)
Reproductive immunity disorder caused by anti-embryonic antibodies is not a direct consequence of hyperemesis gravidarum. It is, however, a consequence of recurrent miscarriage. Recurrent miscarriage is a very prominent occurrence in patients with hyperemesis gravidarum and many of them end up with reproductive immunity disorder caused by anti-embryonic antibodies on top of hyperemesis gravidarum.
Both conditions must be treated in order to have successful pregnancies. Currently only Antai hospital can diagnose and treat reproductive immunity disorder caused by anti-embryonic antibodies. Click HERE to read more.
Symptoms of Hyperemesis Gravidarum
There are many symptoms of hyperemesis. Here are the three main symptoms:
- Severe vomiting
- Insomnia or sleeplessness
- Excess salivation
- Weight loss during pregnancy
Diagnosis of Hyperemesis Gravidarum
Hyperemesis gravidarum will be diagnosed through:
- Electrolyte imbalance. Patients with HG will have electrolyte imbalance due to prolonged severe vomiting and loss of bodily fluids (dehydration).
- Dehydration. Patients with HG will suffer from dehydration due to frequent severe vomiting and excessive salivation.
- Undernutrition. Undernutrition is a common occurrence in patients with HG as their body vomits out all the food they consume.
Antai hospital’s comprehensive Hyperemesis Gravidarum treatment
- HG Vaccine (hCG Desensitizer)
Upon discovering that hyperemesis gravidarum is an allergy towards hCG, Antai hospital invented a hCG desensitizer to treat the condition from the root cause. The hCG desensitizer will take effect instantaneously. It is effective, has no side effects and does not cause any deformities to the baby.
Antai hospital believes in treating the condition from the root cause, instead of suppressing the side effects of the condition. Antai hospital has treated over 5000 patients with HG without the need of countless medications to maintain the pregnancy. Click HERE to read the testimonials.
- Progesterone Supplement
Antai hospital will also supplement patients with progesterone to ensure that the embryo will be securely attached to the basal layer of the endometrium.
- Immunological Factor Treatment
If you have suffered from recurrent miscarriage due to hyperemesis gravidarum in the past, you should check for reproductive immunity disorder caused by anti-embryonic antibodies. Only treating hyperemesis gravidarum without treating reproductive immunity disorder will still result in a miscarriage. Dr Chen Fenglin made a scientific discovery that the presence of anti-embryonic antibodies accounts for 70 percent of unexplained recurrent miscarriage.
Currently, only Antai hospital provides the diagnosis and immunity treatment for reproductive immunity disorder caused by anti-embryonic antibodies. Click HERE for more information.
