Kathmandu. Becoming a mother is considered a joyful experience, but during the nine-month journey of pregnancy, many women have concerns and fears related to their pregnancy. One of the most common fears is miscarriage.
Types of Miscarriage
1. Missed Miscarriage
In this type, pregnancy ends on its own without bleeding or noticeable symptoms. Sometimes, the fetus remains in the uterus, and the lack of fetal development is detected via ultrasound.
2. Incomplete Miscarriage
This occurs when the woman experiences heavy bleeding and severe lower abdominal pain, but only part of the fetus is expelled from the uterus.
3. Complete Miscarriage
Severe abdominal pain and heavy bleeding indicate a complete miscarriage. In this case, the fetus is fully expelled from the uterus.
4. Inevitable Miscarriage
Here, bleeding continues, and the cervix opens to allow the fetus to pass. Women often experience continuous abdominal pain during this type of miscarriage.
5. Septic Miscarriage
A septic miscarriage occurs due to a serious infection in the uterus, which can be life-threatening if untreated.
Symptoms of Miscarriage
- Abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding
- Brown or dark red blood flow
- Lower back pain
- Pain in the lower abdomen
How to Assess Miscarriage Risk
Early diagnosis of miscarriage can help prevent complications like infection and protect maternal health.
- Ultrasound can check cervical dilation and fetal heartbeat.
- Doctors may take blood samples to measure human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels, comparing them to previous results. Changes in hCG levels may indicate a risk of miscarriage.
- If tissue or fibers begin to pass from the cervix, the risk of miscarriage increases. Regular medical check-ups are essential for monitoring pregnancy health.
