Prevent Miscarriage; With Blood Tests

Miscarriage is often interpreted as the spontaneous death of the fetus before 24 weeks gestation. In the first three months of pregnancy, miscarriage is very common. Chances are two in every 10 pregnancies miscarried. These problems will be primarily experienced by women who turned 35 years old.

Most women who have had a miscarriage one time will usually be able to maintain a subsequent pregnancy. However, 1 percent of pregnant women will experience recurrent pregnancy loss as much as three times or more. The cause is rarely known that this causes women to feel sad and frustrated. It had been so, not all obstetricians offer treatments that are really needed.
No wonder, according to Dr Hassan Shehata, medical director of The Miscarriage Clinic in London, many patients are disappointed with how doctors cope with recurrent miscarriage. "Miscarriage is not viewed as a serious condition because it does not make women who experience it usually dies and there is no baby that can be embraced or buried," he admitted.


In fact, continued Shehata, no one could feel sad to lose the baby, except for women who experience it. He himself does not believe that abortion is only a matter of luck. Research shows that about 90 percent of recurrent miscarriages are caused by conditions that can be diagnosed.
The problem, in the National Health Service (NHS), health care systems in the UK, these women are treated by doctors who have no specialization. As a result, doctors do not recommend to perform a series of examinations of existing and instead perform unnecessary tests.


If a miscarriage has occurred three times, to do a special examination for the patient. Shehata said, now comes the evidence that thyroid problems, seliak disease (disorder that causes the bowel is unable to absorb nutrients), and polycystic ovary syndrome (endocrine abnormalities in the female reproductive system) could be a factor causing a miscarriage.


To find out whether the cause of miscarriage is one of the disease, blood tests are not necessary. For example, to find out whether the overactive immune system (which can cause rejection of the fetus) or any blood disorders, such as Hughes syndrome (excessive blood coagulation that inhibit the supply of nutrients to the fetus).


Another inspection may be carried out include a biopsy of the lining of the uterus to check for progesterone levels after ovulation (the hormone that is needed to ensure proper embryo embedded in the wall of the uterus). In addition, should also be done in the ultrasound and examination to identify any anatomical deficiency. Then, you and your partner can also check whether there are chromosomal abnormalities.


The sooner there is any abnormality is found, the more easily overcome. Syndrome of blood coagulation, for example, can be controlled with a blood-thinning drugs. Overactive immune system which can be mitigated by steroids. Polycystic ovarian syndrome can be controlled by adjusting the diet and taking drugs.


Shehata hopes health institutions began to regard abortion as a serious problem. Health practitioners should be able to identify what treatment is needed to prevent a miscarriage prior to conception.
"Doctors usually just ask the patient to do the process of fertilization, only then began to worry whether the patient will be a miscarriage or not," he said.


Age of women who perform pregnancy program is also a major problem, added Professor Lesley Regan, a consultant obstetrics and gynecology at Imperial College Healthcare, London. He suggested that married couples are no longer putting off having children so as not to have problems later. When women were aged over 35 years, which will be faced not only the risk of miscarriage. Programs like IVF would be reduced his chances, with the increasing age of women.
