Undoubtedly, one of the most difficult experiences for a mother-to-be is miscarriage. Most of the abortions that occur in the first trimester of pregnancy are due to genetic problems in the baby. One of the experts at DoktorTakvimi.com, Op. Dr. Pınar Kadiroğulları states that expectant mothers should consult a doctor immediately if they have complaints such as light brown discharge, bleeding, pain and fever.
Losing a baby before the 20th week of pregnancy is called miscarriage. More than 80 percent of miscarriages, one of the most common complications associated with early pregnancy, occur in the first trimester of pregnancy. 15-25 of the pregnancies, that is, about a quarter of the pregnancies are miscarried. Stating that abortions are less likely to occur after the 20th week of pregnancy, and when they occur, they are called late abortions, one of the experts of DoktorTakvimi.com, Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialist Op. Dr. Pınar Kadiroğulları reminds that abortion is an extremely traumatic and devastating experience for the expectant mother.
Explaining that most of the miscarriages occur when the baby has genetic problems incompatible with life, Op. Dr. Kadiroğulları said, “Infection, medical conditions such as maternal diabetes or thyroid disease, hormone problems, immune system responses, physical problems in the mother and uterine abnormalities can also cause miscarriage. “A woman over the age of 35 who has had three or more previous miscarriages, such as diabetes or thyroid disease, has a higher risk of miscarriage.”
If you have any of these symptoms, contact your doctor.
Stating that the main symptom of miscarriage is vaginal bleeding, DoctorTakvimi.com specialists Op. Dr. Pınar Kadiroğulları underlines that this bleeding can vary from light brownish discharge to very heavy bleeding. Kadiroğulları also explains that symptoms such as abdominal cramps and pain, mild or severe back pain, weight loss, fluid discharge from the vagina, textured or clotted discharge from the vagina, feeling faint or dizzy, convulsions and fever can also be seen: “If you know you are pregnant, bleeding may occur. and if you dropped a piece with pain, you may be having a miscarriage. Bleeding and mild discomfort are also common symptoms after a miscarriage. If you have fever, chills or heavy bleeding with pain, contact your doctor immediately if you experience any of these symptoms!”
After a miscarriage, the next pregnancy progresses normally in 85% of cases.
Explaining that when a doctor is consulted with a low risk, the obstetrician will do a pelvic examination and ultrasound to see the amount of bleeding after questioning your complaints and how it started. Dr. Pınar Kadiroğulları continues her words as follows: “If there is a miscarriage and the uterus is empty, if there is no baby or part of the partner in the uterus, no further treatment is usually required. Sometimes the uterus does not empty completely, so an abortion is performed. As an alternative to abortion, some medications may also be given to help expel the remaining parts from the uterus. By performing a pregnancy test, the progression of the abortion and whether the pregnancy is completely terminated are evaluated according to the decrease in the test. Once the bleeding stops, you can usually continue with your daily life. If you have a blood incompatibility, your doctor may give you a blood product. If a woman has had more than two miscarriages in a row (called recurrent miscarriage), blood tests, genetic testing, or medications may be necessary.”
Underlining that many women have concerns that they will not be able to conceive after miscarriage, one of the experts of DoktorTakvimi.com, Op. Dr. Pınar Kadiroğulları said, “In at least 85 of the women who have abortion, the next pregnancy and delivery proceeds normally. Having a miscarriage doesn’t necessarily mean you have a fertility problem. You can address your concerns on this subject by talking to a specialist.”
