Unknown Causes of Miscarriage | Indira IVF

1. Unknown Causes of Miscarriage Miscarriage can appear sometimes due to the weakness of the cervix, known as incompetent cervix that is unable to hold the pregnancy. Miscarriage due to this problem generally happens in the second trimester. It is a fact that if a woman smokes at the time of pregnancy, there will be an increased risk to miscarriage as compared to non-smoker woman. But do you know that some studies have stated that an increased risk of miscarriage can also happen even if only the father smokes? There are different types of environmental hazards that can be found in certain substances in the environment, whether home or at a workplace that can put pregnancy into a risk of miscarriage. Like mercury that has been discharged from broken fluorescent light bulbs or thermometers, arsenic established near some well water or waste sites, pesticides or killing rodents or insects, solvents like stain and varnish removers, paint thinners, degreasers, etc. Miscarriage Treatments One of the major goals of treatment during or after the miscarriage will be preventing the woman from hemorrhaging or infection. The earlier she will be there in the pregnancy, more likely her body will drive out all the fetal tissue by own and will not need further medical procedures. If the body gets unable to force out all the tissue, there is a common procedure named as dilation and curettage to prevent infection and stop bleeding. There must be an eye on bleeding. If it seems too much, it is better to call the doctor with an immediate effect. A woman may experience fever, back pain, weakness, abdominal pain, severe cramps and bleeding that result from light to heavy. These are some of those symptoms that happen at the time of miscarriage. So, it's better to visit the doctor without wasting any time. There are cases where causes of miscarriage aren't known, that's why you can't prevent them. But a person can try to reduce the risk of having a miscarriage by taking care of some important things like saying good-bye to smoking tobacco, illicit drugs and alcoholic beverages, maintaining a healthy and well-balanced diet, attaining a healthy or optimum weight before conceiving, avoiding contaminated foods that can cause food poisoning, treating the identifiable causes like antiphospholipid syndrome or weakened cervix that can assist in preventing miscarriage.
