What Precautions Should Be Taken After A Miscarriage?
Question: I had a miscarriage in 5 th week and this is my first issue please suggest what would be the reason. Ours is a joint family and i work in corporate. What is the time gap for next issue what are the precautions i should take?
Brief Answer:
Chromosomal abnormalities mostly
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your health concern and grief related to it.
But in early pregnancy losses the cause is usually unknown as there is no tissue for evaluation of the cause.
Most common cause in this unknown category is chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus because of loss or gain of chromosomal material at the of meeting of sperm and egg.
These are very common but not correctable so it is not in our hands to stop it.
Next in list is Endocrinological disorders like luteal phase defect (lack of adequate progesterone), thyroid and diabetes so get yourself tested for thyroid hormone levels and blood sugar levels.
For luteal phase defect only thing which can be done is to start progesterone intake as soon as you test positive for pregnancy next time.
As far as your personal placing in house and work is concerned there is no problem in doing usual work so don't keep those factors in mind.
Take care
