Spontaneous termination of pregnancy up to the 20th week of gestation is called miscarriage. In fact, about 15-20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Sometimes a miscarriage can occur before a woman even knows she is pregnant.

- Separation of tissue from the vagina; - severe diarrhea;

- red or brown discharge.

Causes of miscarriage.

Gene or chromosome abnormalities:

1. Often miscarriage occurs due to the presence of pathology in fetal development. This pathology is caused by the division of embryonic cells. Such an embryo naturally dies spontaneously because it has a nonchromic chromosome.

2. The cavity of the fetal egg. In this case, the fertilized egg cell is not an embryo, but a satellite tissue, kholos. This condition causes 12% of miscarriages that occur during the first 50 weeks of pregnancy.

3. Fetal death. In this case, the fetus dies before the end of pregnancy. This is caused by abnormalities in embryonic development.

4. Molar pregnancy. This is a very rare condition in which the placenta becomes a tumor in the uterus as the placenta develops, in which case the embryo cannot develop.

II. Problems of taxation of pregnant women:

1. Severe form of diabetes.

2. Diseases of the thyroid gland.

3. Infections (sexually transmitted infections, influenza, angina, pyelonephritis, etc.)

4. Hormonal disorders.

5. Physical or structural changes of the uterus or uterine tract.

6. Injury or physical exhaustion.

Who is more likely to end their pregnancy with a miscarriage?

- Women over 35 years old;

- Women who have had multiple miscarriages or abortions;

- Women who consume a lot of alcohol and smoke;

- Women with certain chronic diseases (for example, severe forms of diabetes).

The rate of miscarriage

1. There is a risk of miscarriage: there is a very small amount of bleeding from the uterus. This can often happen when an egg is implanted in the uterus. In this case, the cervix is ​​closed.

2. The process of miscarriage: bleeding from the vagina is accompanied by lumps in the waist or abdomen. Then, in addition, if cervical dilatation and rupture of the amniotic sac are observed, fetal miscarriage cannot be stopped.

3. The process of complete miscarriage: the embryo leaves the uterus completely. In this case, the bleeding stops quickly, and the leaks end. Complete miscarriage can be detected by ultrasound.

4. Unexplained miscarriage: The fetus dies but is not left in the uterus. In this case, the woman walks without knowing that she is pregnant. This condition can be detected by the sudden disappearance of pregnancy symptoms or by the fact that the fetal heart does not beat through ultrasound. Prolonged storage of a dead fetus in a woman's body causes fever. This is very dangerous for the female body.

5. Anembryonia: The fertilized egg attaches to the uterus, but the embryo does not form.

6. Ectopic pregnancy: The embryo develops outside the uterus, often in the uterine tract. In this case, which is very dangerous for the woman, it is necessary to consult a doctor immediately.

Treatment of miscarriage.

Treatment before or after a miscarriage is aimed at stopping bleeding from the uterus and ensuring that the infection does not spread.

The shorter the gestation period, the easier it is for the embryonic cell to separate from the uterus independently. If the embryonic cell cannot differentiate independently, then the uterus is surgically cleaned. It is recommended to take medication after surgery. At home, a woman should see a doctor immediately if she experiences bleeding, fever, or chills at home.

Women who have a miscarriage are more likely to become depressed. They need to be mentally supported and their health strengthened before the next pregnancy happens.
