Could Abdominal Ulcers Be The Cause For Miscarriage?

Hi I have a stomach ulcer which has only just been diagnosed. I have had 2 very early miscarriages in the past 6 months and wondered if there was any link? I also have a very bad reaction to certain foods and drinks which aggravate the ulcer e.g coffee, sweets like chocolate and recent sudden weight loss (1 stone in 2 weeks with no diets change or effort on my behalf) Thank you

Hello,

You have had 2 early miscarriages. Health conditions that can cause miscarriage are those that restrict blood flow to the uterus. Higher risk of miscarriage is seen in diabetics, people suffering from thyroid disease, lupus, and heart disease. Get all your chronic diseases treated.

Autoimmune disorders and hormone connected disorders such as antiphospholipid syndrome are linked to miscarriage. Side effects of certain medications can cause miscarriage. You are suggested to be careful of the medicines you have been taking. Certain types of uterine infections and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can also play a role in causing miscarriage. Get diagnosed and treated.

Miscarriage can also be caused by fibroids and cervical insufficiency, which is when the cervix dilates too soon during pregnancy, can also lead to miscarriage. Other factor that can cause miscarriage are genetics, excessive caffeine intake and the use of drugs and alcohol. If diabetic, get blood workouts for blood sugar done so that it can be controlled. If you have abdominal ulcer prefer to get it treated before conceiving again.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
