Causes Of Miscarriage

Reasons And Causes Of Miscarriage

It can be difficult to pinpoint causes of miscarriage. While the vast majority of miscarriages are caused by factors out of your control, it can still be a difficult thing to overcome. Some people feel that they need to understand the causes of miscarriage to be able to heal and move on. The fact is that most times, a doctor is not specifically sure why this occurs.

Many women suffer miscarriage in the first trimester of pregnancy. Many women miscarry without even knowing it because it happens so early. Today, with the presence of accurate early home pregnancy tests, more women are aware of miscarriages because of the early testing. Some women suffer multiple miscarriages through no fault of their own and for no evidence-based reason.

Causes of miscarriage are most often attributed to chromosome or genetic defects in the embryo that cause it to be unable to survive. This is not something that anyone can predict and not something that can be corrected. This is of little consolation to the person suffering the loss but the fact is that many couples suffer a miscarriage or even two but are still able to conceive naturally and easily in future.

If miscarriage recurs in a female and she suffers from three consecutive miscarriages, a doctor will likely work aggressively to determine the causes of miscarriage for that woman. Other causes can exist that are medical based including blood problems or problems in utero that make it a non-favourable environment for embryonic development. A woman might also have an incompetent cervix which is incapable of sustaining a pregnancy on its own. There are many reasons and causes of miscarriage.

Sexually transmitted diseases can cause miscarriage, as can drug and alcohol use. As soon as a woman is aware of a pregnancy, steps should be taken to look after her health and the health of her unborn child. It's important to remember that even if you have had a miscarriage, you are more than likely able to conceive successfully in the future.

A miscarriage leaves a person with a tremendous sense of loss. A couple often becomes bonded with the pregnancy the moment they get the positive pregnancy test. Dealing with the loss associated with a miscarriage can require time and support. There are support groups and books that can help you overcome your grief. It's important to take time to heal and realize that a miscarriage may not be something that stops you from having children in the future. It's best to talk to your doctor about attempting to conceive again when you are ready but most doctors advise waiting one to two menstrual cycles to give your body a chance to heal.
