Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion/Miscarriages caused by misdiagnosis and misinterpretation by Doctors (Iatrogenesis) – Antai Hospital

Introduction

Doctors are highly respected in society because they save lives on a daily basis, but despite their effort and good intentions, they may also end up becoming a contributing cause to certain diseases. This occurs due to their unintentional or, in some cases intentional negligence, error, misconduct, misdiagnosis or misinterpretation of the patient’s condition, further aggravating their situation.

This is a highly unique yet common “cause of disease”, where the causes are the doctors themselves.

A list of iatrogenic causes that leads to recurrent miscarriages in patients:

1. Induced Abortion

• Patients are recommended by these doctors to undergo induced abortion to remove the fetus/embryo from the uterus, the process however is very crude and damaging to the endometrium, causing severe complications.
• It is the primary cause of patients developing recurrent immunological miscarriage, accounting for 67% of unexplained miscarriages.
• The correct treatment method is to acquire the embryo via hysteroscopy which does no secondary damage to the uterine walls.

2. An occasional natural miscarriage aggravated into recurrent miscarriages

• A lot of doctors do not conduct in-depth diagnosis and examinations, to identify the root cause of this 1st miscarriage.
• They might advise the couple to try again, citing statistics such as “1 in 10 pregnancies end in miscarriages”, “bad luck” and “that it happens sometimes “.
• Eventually these couples will develop anti-embryonic antibodies, which leads to recurrent immunomiscarriages; causing a single-factor miscarriage to unnecessarily develop into a multi-factor miscarriage.
• A highly professional and skilled doctor will firstly conduct a systematic diagnosis on the very first miscarriage itself, accurately identifying the actual causes and preventing any potential future miscarriages. He will recommend patients to not get pregnant at this time until an accurate diagnosis is determined.

3. Threatened Miscarriage

• Some doctors do not take a threatened miscarriage serious enough and advise couples to just let nature take its course, assuming that the embryo’s quality is what triggered the threatened miscarriage in the first place.
• They will a recommend treatment only upon undergoing an induced abortion, which further aggravates your condition. 
• For example, in the case of a threatened miscarriage due to fibroids, these doctors will have the patient first undergo induced abortion to prematurely terminate the pregnancy. Next, the treatment they provide is not removing the fibroids, but instead hysterectomy, where they remove the firboids along with the uterus instead, severely damaging the patients mental and physical health, potentially robbing her of any future children as she may be infertile now.
• A threatened miscarriage is exactly a 2^nd chance given to couples to save their pregnancy, because there is still time and effective treatment available!
• Here at Antai Hospitals, we have the proper diagnosis and treatment for both early and late threatened miscarriages, to save and extend your pregnancy till full term, because we believe no matter how small the life, it is still a life!

4. Chromosomal abnormality of embryo leading to fetal demise

• These doctors assume that the cause is due to the abnormality of the parental chromosomes.
• Due to a lack of knowledge or expertise, they dismiss these cases as untreatable, recommending adoption, surrogacy etc as their only options.
• This greatly disrupts the marital stability between these couples, in some cases, they even recommend divorce, so they find new partners if they want children.

5. Traditional Chinese Medicine/ alternative treatments

• Although this form of treatment is very popular and trusted by many patients, medically speaking, its treatment is not towards the root cause or symptoms of the condition.
• They also do not conduct medically accurate diagnosis of the conditions root cause and prescribe medications which may or may not be effective, and the therapeutic effect takes longer.
• Medically speaking, it is also quite difficult for TCM medication to treat pregnancy or miscarriage disorders, because most of these conditions arise from organic diseases, which require surgery for effective treatment.

6. Lack of in-depth diagnosis of the condition leads to repeated, prolonged & ineffective treatment

• Without properly diagnosing the condition, not only is the patient not treated for her condition, but she will most likely suffer the condition once more and has to come back again for another treatment.
• Not only that, she may also develop complications that further aggravates her conditions, making her condition harder and harder to cure.
• The amount of time and money wasted by these doctors is astounding.

7. Lack of thorough and comprehensive treatment for patients

• These doctors may correctly identify the cause of the conditions, but fail to further determine the other underlying causes, so despite their best efforts, their treatment still fall shorts because it only targets one factor of a complex miscarriage.
• Only a thorough examination of all the causes and treatment thereof, can effectively treat complex miscarriages, to save a pregnancy and prevent future miscarriages.

8. Lack of RSA knowledge and expertise

• Most hospitals lack this form of expertise and knowledge in the field of recurrent miscarriages, so misdiagnosis and inaccurate treatment is very common.
• Patients should always choose the right hospital. They should opt for specialists’ hospitals that specifically treat RSA with high success rates such as Antai Hospital, because we provide the most effective treatments for miscarriages with accurate diagnosis. 
• Usually, these hospitals have more insight and understanding in this particular field and have the proper treatment for miscarriage-related conditions.
