How to Distinguish Pregnancy from PMS

Abbreviation PMS once and do not exploit as soon not decipher of all the symptoms characteristic of this phenomenon in the public mind was fixed only irritability and mood swings of course, when viewed from the side is the mood of the most noticeable. The women have to endure much more unpleasant moments, among which there is also pain.

And if it is only so because most of the symptoms of PMS are very similar to the early symptoms of pregnancy, and how to understand what exactly is the cause of women in a particular case?

PMS or Early Signs of Pregnancy

Let's try to become uproarious, where do these or other sensations in both cases. And at the end of the article made the summary table that will help determine what takes place: PMS or pregnancy.

Changing Eating Behavior

You're not pregnant right? This is almost a traditional phrase familiar to all, and often the changing tastes in food, thirst for new products and aversion to the familiar as one of the first signs of pregnancy, for that matter and premenstrual syndrome. Indeed, during PMS and early pregnancy, women can lean on sweet or salty. But the similarities probably end there.

Aversion to food , which is often caused by expectant mothers experiencing early toxicosis, and this symptom is rare to delay menstruation. Typically toxicosis begins (if any begins) at 5-6 weeks. This is due to the activity of the fruit. The system of removing waste products it has not yet been established, they go directly into the blood of mothers, causing mild intoxication. Relief comes to 4 months, when the placenta matures.

With regard to the traditionally drawn inedible products or products that have never loved a woman, as well as to non-standard combination, it is associated with the body's need for vitamin and or those elements. Moreover, this condition is also typical for a later date.

Thus eating behavior cannot be used as an indicator of PMS or pregnancy. The differences are obvious, though, but typical for a later date.

Breast Enlargement and its Sensitivity

The cause of the changes occurring with dairy wand is hormonal changes. Since these changes are common to both conditions, determine the symptom of pregnancy or PMS breast tenderness is nearly impossible. The only thing you can try to focus on the duration of the phenomenon. In the case of PMS breast nagrubaet for 1-2 days, and during pregnancy it is accompanied by a feeling of a woman nearly all the time. And it is easy to understand, because the chest all 9 months actively preparing for lactation.

Constant Tiredness

The cause of fatigue in early pregnancy is to raise the level of progesterone. In combination with a decrease in blood sugar and low pressure occurs such an effect. Obviously, before monthly level of this hormone in women is comparable with the first days of pregnancy, and therefore fatigue is taking place. With the start of menstruation progesterone level drops and the fatigue passes.

Unfortunately, constant fatigue and cannot answer the question of how to distinguish PMS from pregnancy. However, that is no reason not to pay attention to it. In the end, fatigue may be a symptom of a number of diseases, most of which are somehow connected with hormonal disorders. And such disease is not necessary to run.

Lower Abdominal Pain

In the middle of the cycle begins to prepare the uterus for implantation of the ovum, that is, on its walls rises mucosa. And before menstruation excess mucus gradually begin to flake off from the walls of the uterus; it causes pain in the lower abdomen for PMS.

In early pregnancy may also feel pain, but it is connected with the reverse process: the ovum attaches to the uterine wall, "burying" in the mucosa. Thus, abdominal pain - this is another common symptom. However, the nature of pain in both cases is different: pain during pregnancy is very soft, unobtrusive and short, just 1-2 days. During PMS pain can be very diverse, individual for each woman: someone stronger, someone weaker, someone she passes the first day, and someone suffering until the end of menstruation.

Backache

Strictly speaking, talking about back pain, as the general PMS symptoms and pregnancy is not entirely correct, as the small of the back starts to hurt pregnant towards the end of trimester 2, when increasing the load on the spine. During this period, PMS pregnancy has not confused.

Mood Swings

So we got to the "problem" for many of the symptoms. It is not difficult to guess the nature of this phenomenon hormone, it is typical for PMS and early pregnancy. However, a significant difference in this moment still is.

PMS is more characteristic for the negative part of the spectrum of emotions: anger, irritability, tears, and during pregnancy occurs exactly frequent changes of mood, sensitivity, and more powerful, vivid emotions. That is, the positive emotions as pronounced as negative.

On this you can end up with common symptoms. Now let's talk about what the different symptoms of pregnancy and PMS. Listed below are the symptoms that are specific to early pregnancy, and have no relation to the PM.

Frequent Urination

Frequent urination worried pregnant woman twice: at the end and at the beginning of pregnancy. But if with 3 terms all very clear, there presses on the bladder enlarged uterus, then where this symptom does at the beginning of the term, is not so obvious. Here blame the changing metabolism. The kidneys begin to work harder, because they have to withdraw wastes already two organisms, not just one.

Toxemia

This pregnancy symptom is already mentioned in the Article. And whether or not it has a lot to talk about? Indeed, this is one of the earliest signs of pregnancy, but it makes itself felt somewhat later, on the background of the delay period.

Bleeding

Strictly speaking, a woman's body "learns" about the pregnancy at the time of implantation of the ovum. Up to this point the fertilized egg does not come into contact with the mother. Since in implementing mucosal egg could damage the small blood vessels, in some cases accompanied by implantation of small bleeding.

To summarize: PMS symptoms and early pregnancy symptoms are very similar indeed, which greatly complicates the diagnosis of the latter. And if you take into account that not all of these symptoms are always "going" together and it becomes difficult to decide at all.

The body of each of the fair sex is different, not like the others. Accordingly, various changes and all react differently. Somebody did not feel any changes or during PMS or early pregnancy, and someone suffers every month.

Nevertheless, to make the sign, which lists and compares all the symptoms characteristic of pregnancy and PMS, it makes sense. It will help a little sort out the situation.

Symptom	PMS	Pregnancy
Changing attitudes to food	tyanet of sladkoe and salinity	changing attachments, pulls on salty and inedible
Sore breasts	disappears with the beginning of menstruation	accompanies the entire pregnancy
Fatigue	occurs a few days before menstruation	ranging from 4-5 weeks after conception
Bolin life	individually in each case,	soft, brief pain
Backache	Sometimes the pain of the abdomen gives back	occurs in the later stages
Mood swings	Irritability	frequent changes in emotional state
Frequent urination	-	consequence of changes in metabolism
Toxemia	-	begins at 4-5 weeks
Bleeding	-	about 2 weeks scarce, spotting

Generally, in the early stages of pregnancy diagnosis are very difficult. More or less exact symptoms begin after a delay menstruation, and those symptoms that begin before the delay is too ambiguous and require greater attention.

However, there is one way to distinguish the exact PMS pregnancy - rapid test. Home purchase test with high sensitivity, which react even at a low concentration of HCG.

In conclusion, once again I want to say that every woman is unique, and the best of herself in her body, no one will understand. PMS - a monthly phenomenon, and occur every time about one and the same scenario, so that the woman quickly learns guess approximation monthly. And, of course, she will notice if her body's behavior has changed. That it should be an occasion to do a test or see a doctor.

Methods of Abortion in Early Pregnancy

Despite the fact that today there is a huge variety of birth control pills and other contraceptive measures, unplanned pregnancy still occurs in a relatively large number of the fairer sex. Women who are sexually active, you should remember that getting pregnant is actually much easier than it may seem at first glance. This is much harder to think about what to do next. But once this has occurred, it is necessary to choose the safest method of abortion.

Today, there are many ways to abortion in early pregnancy. They are conventionally divided into 2 types: requiring surgical intervention and does not require, that is, surgical and non-surgical. The former include curettage, vacuum abortion and stuff. The most common way is nonsurgical medical abortion. Read more about each of them we describe below.

Probably every girl knows what signs indicate the beginning of pregnancy. The earliest - nausea, excessive irritability, changes in eating habits, general weakness, and finally vomiting. More serious signal called the long delay menstruation, lung inflammation or increases the size of the breasts, a certain amount of colostrum secretion from the nipple and increases the size of the uterus. However, all this does not necessarily indicate that the woman is pregnant. It often happens that such signs indicate the presence of any gynecological diseases or others.

Before you contact your gynecologist and find a way to interrupt early pregnancy, you need to just make sure 100% authenticity of such an assumption. To do so, pass not only inspection but also ultrasound and hormonal evaluation. If these methods confirmed the presence of pregnancy, then it is already necessary to consult with your doctor about the choice of a particular method of abortion.

Surgical methods of abortion

These include a vacuum aspiration. This method is also called vacuum or mini-abortion. It is conducted for up to 5 weeks, when it is done sucking content uterine cavity using a special vacuum pump.

Second on the list and the most common method is considered instrumental removal or, as it is often called, surgical curettage. To carry out the medical abortion doctor uses a special instrument is called a curette metal. This procedure can be done up to 12 weeks of pregnancy. However, after curettage, the patient may receive consequences such as damage to the endometrium or the formation of a large wound in the area where it was attached ovum. One of the serious complications of this type of abortion is the endometrium.

Another surgical method of abortion in early pregnancy, the effects of which can also be very serious, considered intravesical solution prescribed by your doctor. This procedure is shown for a period of 12 weeks and leads to the early commencement of artificially induced labor.

Nonsurgical

The first and least dangerous way - is taking pills for abortion in early pregnancy, which is medical abortion. The active substance in preparations it is mifepristone stimulating "expulsion" of the body of the ovum, and the hormone that supports pregnancy (progesterone). The use of these drugs is used in cases when menses is delayed up to 42 days. Effectiveness of abortion is in up to 95%.

Using this type of abortion does not involve finding a patient in the hospital, when it need only be tested in the clinic, pass all the necessary tests and undergo ultrasound. Despite the fact that the external process seems simple and completely safe, you need to approach it seriously.

Calculate the dose of the active drug should only gynecologist because insufficient amounts of active substances may lead to an incomplete abortion that happens. In addition, it is important to know that self-administration of drugs intended to induce abortion, almost always leads to a serious deterioration in the health of women, because this process cannot be called simple.

The drugs, which are appointed doctor for this kind of abortion, can be briefly described as follows: active substances, which are part of the drug to cause a miscarriage. The drug acts on the ovum, thus it is "peeled off" from the walls of the uterus and leaves the female body with spotting.

Another non-surgical method of early abortion is the magnetic induction. The method is based on the use of special magnetic cap emitting a magnetic field. This field is completely stops the communication between the brain and the female fetus, resulting in pregnancy is attenuated. In the absence of individual contraindications to this method, and a delay of up to 5 days of the cycle efficiency of the process will be about 45-50%.

Acupuncture shown to use when the delay menstruation is only 10 days, when there is an impact on the body of medical needles which are smoothly introduced into the active points of the female body. If competently carry out this procedure, it is possible to terminate a pregnancy in just a few sessions. The method is effective for about 40%.

Another way - herbal medicine is unconventional, as it implies the use of special fees herbs. Efficiency interrupt is about 20%.

Consequences after surgical methods of abortion are often small and have very individual character.

Recovering after an abortion

To support the woman's body after an abortion were developed general rules that if not guarantee, that gives a lot of hope that the effects will be mitigated:

01.  Any sexual contact. Sexual life should be completely stopped for a period of up to 3 weeks. Ignoring this advice, especially after surgery, threatens the emergence of a list of serious complications up to the danger of death.

02.  Over the 2-weeks after the procedure is strictly forbidden to raise any kind of gravity and exercise.

03.  It is important to closely monitor their health, periodically measure blood pressure, pulse and body temperature. If we fix the slightest deviation from the norm, not immediately consult a doctor.

04.  Abortion is a taboo for swimming in open water or public pools. Contact with water is allowed only in the form of a warm shower.

05.  Abortion is an interference in the functioning of the organism, which, of course, it depletes. In this connection it is important to arrange the proper and timely feeding.

06.  Often necessary to empty the bladder and bowels. In the process of recovery of the body after the termination of pregnancy is the probability of occurrence of inflammation in the pelvic area.

07.  Underwear is recommended to change 2 times per day.

08.  And, of course, extremely important to follow the general rules of personal hygiene. Several times a day you need to perform the procedure using boiled water and potassium permanganate.

Abortion procedure is not as simple as it seems at first glance. Many modern women relate to it too easily, often trusting the abortion themselves. To do this, they find online, learn from friends, buy from healers "special" recipes that supposedly can get rid of the situation started in a short time and without any consequences. However, it should be remembered that the process of abortion in early pregnancy folk remedies are unlikely to realize the full, because no one can certainly know how a woman's body will react to a particular herb in the collection. That is why it is imperative to enlist the support of an experienced gynecologist, who knows exactly how to find a way out of any, even the most difficult situation.

Recommendations made by the selection of a method of contraception.

Exercises during Pregnancy

An Easy Way to Leave!

Even in the middle of the last century was designed by Arnold Kegel exercises enormous complex, which today is widely used in various fields of medicine. Kegel exercises are designed for people of different age groups, regardless of gender. These exercises have been recognized around the world, today they are used even for the recovery of children. But in this article I would like to focus on Kegel exercises for women who are waiting for the birth of a small miracle, to talk about how useful these exercises future mummies and how they can help in childbirth.

How to determine the proper muscles

Complex Kegel exercises for pregnant women helps to significantly strengthen the muscles and learn to manage them - that is essential for quick and easy delivery. The exercises are designed not only to facilitate the delivery; they help to avoid fairly common birth complications - perineal tears.

The pelvic floor muscles during pregnancy, losing its elasticity, it is caused by the pressure of the uterus: muscle fibers are stretched and become less flexible. Simple but at the same time quite effective Kegel exercises allow the muscles to regain lost tone and elasticity.

As it may seem at first glance, to learn to control the muscles of the pelvic floor is pretty easy, but this is not the case. First of all, you must understand and feel where the necessary muscle.

The easiest way to help certainly understand which muscles need exercise - try to delay urination during a trip to the toilet. Now that you understand what muscles are involved in the training program on Kegel, you need to try a few times to stretch and relax them. If you happen to accomplish this without the involvement of the muscles of the buttocks, thighs and legs, so everything is done right and you can start the course, but it is worth remembering that the exercises should not bring discomfort and pain.

What you will achieve by performing exercises

In order to feel the results of the exercises, you must engage in daily . Regular pelvic floor muscle training will allow feeling visible effect after a few weeks of the start of classes. Soon you will be able to note that your muscles independently perform the necessary actions without conscious intervention.
Proceed to the gym costs from the beginning of pregnancy, making it 20-30 exercises daily. At first it will seem that you cannot quite stretch the muscles and for a long time, but do not despair - the main thing is not to throw exercises and soon succeed! Remember that you cannot immediately give the muscles too much load; increase the intensity of training gradually is the main thing to remember that your job is in the ability to control the muscles of the pelvic floor and not directed to the main power.

What is the use of Kegel exercises during pregnancy:

1. You can strengthen the muscles of the pelvis and perineum, and learn to control them, allowing you to spend their resources wisely during childbirth.
2. Kegel exercises to help cope with the pain and reduce the risk of fractures in the process of procreation.
3. The complex will help you get rid of the discomfort and pain experienced by many moms during childbearing.
4. Muscle training during the pregnancy will allow you to recover quickly enough after birth.
5. Exercise in general improve the physical condition of women and allow you to control the process of urination, which is important in the postpartum period.
6. Significantly improves sexual health and quality of sexual life.
7. Kegel exercises help to prolong the period of sexual activity and normalize sex hormone production.
8. Pregnant women who regularly engaged, normal mood, improves the appearance and overall health.

As seen from the above, the system of classes Kegel have many advantages and, in addition, to help women cope with some problems in sexual life.

When pregnancy is contraindicated Kegel exercises

Despite the enormous benefits that can get a woman from performing simple exercises, not all of this can be done gymnastics, because in some cases, instead of the expected benefit of exercise can cause harm. Consult on the matter stands with her gynecologist.

When threatened abortion and other violations should abandon classes, if during exercise you feel pain or discomfort - it is also a good reason for not training and consultation with a specialist.

A set of exercises

Need to start training in the supine position on 5 reps, and eventually prodelyvat sitting and standing exercises for 20-30 reps.
1. Lie on your back, bend your knees slightly and spread them apart. At 10 seconds, tighten your muscles as if holding your urine, and then relax. Repeat the exercise again.
2. The next exercise is much more difficult, but at the same time, the efficiency of the previous and a few days after its execution, it will not seem so difficult. Mentally divide the vagina to "floors" and strain your muscles from the bottom to the top, relaxing in the reverse order. Try to stay in the state of stress at the top as long as possible, but do not overdo it.
3. When performing this exercise the muscles involved not only the vagina, but the anus. Squeeze your vaginal muscles after anusnye relaxing in reverse order to get the wave. Perform the exercises you need quickly.
4. But this exercise will help learn how to properly dry heaving during childbirth. It should be performed with an empty bowel and bladder. Take a comfortable position and relax, try to gradually tighter, thus straining vaginal muscles. If done correctly, hand applied to the vagina, feel the movement of muscles.

In short, Kegel exercises performed during pregnancy can help to quickly and easily give birth, recover from childbirth, to avoid discontinuities, incontinence and postpartum hemorrhoids. Moreover, these exercises are beneficial and parous women to prevent inflammation of the reproductive system and the normalization of sexual life.

Uterine Fibroids in Pregnancy - How is it Dangerous?

Uterine Fibroids in Pregnancy

Upon detection of a disease of the reproductive system, women often panic. Immediately raises a lot of questions about whether it is possible to get pregnant, how to treat the disease and how dangerous disease? Let's try to answer these questions about uterine fibroids.

What is this disease and how it is dangerous

Fibroids appear in women during active cell division of the uterus, this refers to a benign tumor. Note that the fibroids can occur just in healthy women tend tumor arises from hormonal imbalance may be caused by endocrine and metabolic or inflammatory diseases. Transferred intrauterine intervention in history can also be the cause of uterine fibroids.

Moreover, quite often lately fibroids occur in young women, which allows doctors to talk about hereditary factors provoke disease.

Dangerous fibroids, especially the fact that it is quite often associated inflammatory diseases of the ovaries and appendages, breast disease, dysfunction of the adrenal glands and the thyroid gland.

The tumor may complicate pregnancy, if it adversely localized, has a large size or broken power supply unit fibroids. Adverse effects on pregnancy may have and diseases caused by its appearance.

Suspect fibroids stands at the following symptoms:

•           Prolonged and heavy menstrual flow;

•           Pain and a feeling of pressure in the pelvic area and lower abdomen;

•           Occurrence of disorders of the intestines;

•           Pain during sexual intercourse;

•           Feeling of pressure on the bladder.

Diagnosis of the disease produced by ultrasound of the uterus

How influencing myoma uteri of birth

Upon detection of uterine many wondering whether they can conceive a baby? Uterine fibroids are not a cause of infertility; however, women with the disease can be quite difficult to conceive of the fact that the tumor compresses the fallopian tubes and prevent the movement of sperm on them. Also, the disease often disturbs the process of ovulation.

Small units that are in the muscle layer of the uterus, have practically no influence on the process of embryo implantation. Typically, during such pregnancy complications arise.

Ideally, before planning conception worth cure fibroids or even remove it. If the tumor has a large size (more than 12 weeks' gestation) is not worth the risk with distance, quite often these operations are accompanied by profuse bleeding and the uterus is removed completely. After the surgery to remove fibroids are allowed to plan a pregnancy after 6 months.

Fibroids and Pregnancy

Often the detection of uterine fibroids occur after pregnancy. In this case the woman is especially important to know how the tumor can affect the pregnancy.

Risk factors for the presence of fibroids in pregnancy:

•           Tumor size of more than 7 cm;

•           Tumor is located close to the cervix;

•           The woman several fibroids distorting the uterus;

•           Near the attachment of the placenta of the mother node.

Often, fibroids can cause abortion by increasing uterine tone provoked myoma nodes. Pregnancy can cause a disruption of the normal blood supply to the myoma node, which in consequence may even lead to its collapse, in this case, not only greatly increases the tone of the uterus, but there are serious pain. If the attachment of the placenta occurs in a node, it will be violated her right formation, which can cause miscarriage in early pregnancy, placental insufficiency and cause detachment of the placenta in late pregnancy. Most important for pregnant women with uterine, placental insufficiency in the case, to prevent fetal hypoxia - it can cause abnormalities in the development of the child.

Recommendations for pregnancy maintenance

Unfortunately, no doctor and no survey can not establish exactly how to behave in the tumor during pregnancy: will it cause complications of the process of carrying a baby or will not cause any problems. Some fibroids continue to grow during pregnancy, while others are significantly reduced in size, but it is worth remembering that after birth the tumor usually returns to its original size.

Given the possible complications that can occur in pregnancy due to fibroids should be very carefully monitored course of pregnancy. You must see your doctor regularly, do ultrasound and conduct prevention of uterine tone.

Pregnant women with uterine must fully eat, sleep, refuse to exercise, avoid stress.

Permanent monitoring of the fibroids allows time to identify them and inflammation in case of detection of this disease in time to make a decision about the need for medical or surgical treatment.

In any case, a surgery to remove the tumor

If medication is ineffective and fibroid is destroyed, it requires the intervention of a surgeon. Removal of fibroids in pregnancy is done by laparoscopy; this operation is carried quite easily, but for pregnant women are shown only when absolutely necessary, as it can cause miscarriage. Health risks for women, this procedure does not work.

Laparoscopy - this is the most appropriate method of removal of the tumor during pregnancy. The operation is recommended for a period from 16 to 32 weeks. Later, the risk is too great.

Childbirth with uterine

Fibroids can cause complications of childbirth. In the case when it is in the area of the cervix, creates a barrier to the baby - in such situations it is necessary to conduct caesarean section. Read more

The tumor can cause impaired coordination uterine muscles during childbirth and lead to a weakening of labor. Also, there is a risk of incomplete removal of the placenta.

Typically, childbirth in women with uterine tightening, and after delivery the uterus is restored longer than the uterus without fibroids.

So, summing up, we can conclude that pregnancy and its favorable resolution for uterine fibroids is possible only under close monitoring of fibroids. In some cases, it is recommended to terminate the pregnancy for medical reasons, when the risk to women's health is too great.

If you know that there have uterine fibroids before pregnancy planning is essential to consult a doctor. Remember that only a thorough study and treatment of fibroids - the path to the birth of a healthy baby.

Habitual Miscarriage is not a Sentence!

Habitual Miscarriage

The most severe test for women has always been and will remain a long-awaited loss of a child. The sudden interruption of a happy period of life, filled with excitement and anticipation, trouble or worry about the future of the kid, could be a serious blow to the psychological health of even the most strong and confident woman. Alas, modern statistics also brings consolation: the last time the number of diagnoses of "recurrent miscarriage" continues to grow inexorably. And what's even more frustrating - abortion increasingly comes when the expectant mother does not even know about it early.

Sudden miscarriage is certainly a strong shock to the woman, but the habitual miscarriage sometimes perceived not only as a sentence. So whether it is real or a conclusion is based only on the overwhelming fear? We will try to sort out this problem as detailed as possible so you did not have any more questions and doubts.

Diagnosis "habitual miscarriage," usually put occurred after two consecutive abortion, especially if they occur at approximately the same duration. The reasons for this state there are many, and the treatment cannot be called easy, but first things first.

What can be caused by abortion?

Distinguish six main cause miscarriage, namely genetic, anatomic, endocrine (hormonal), immunologic, infectious, and as a result of thrombophilia.

1. Genetic causes or chromosomal abnormalities

This is the most common factor in premature termination of pregnancy. According to statistics, by the fault of the somatic chromosome abnormality occurs in about 70% of all abortions. The majority of these violations related to the fact that in the process of fertilization participated defective sperm or ovum.

Each of us knows that the normal number of chromosomes in the gametes equals 23. However, it so happens that a lack of eggs or sperm (22), or vice versa - the excess (24) their number. In this case, initially formed embryo begins to develop with a chromosomal abnormality, which invariably leads to miscarriage.

2. Anatomical causes

Abnormal structure of the uterus - is the second most common cause of recurrent miscarriage. To the list of concerns irregular shape of the uterus, the presence in her septum, deforming body cavity benign tumors (eg, fibroids, fibroids, fibroids). Also refer to the number of scars formed from previous surgical procedures (such as caesarean section, removal fibromatous nodes moxibustion cervical erosion, electric current, etc.).

Besides a large role in habitual miscarriage muscle weakness plays rings of the cervix. For this reason, miscarriage often occurs at 16-18 weeks of pregnancy. This anomaly can be either congenital or acquired, as a result of traumatic injuries due to frequent abortions, cervical rupture during labor or cleaning. It can also be caused by hormonal disorders (eg, increasing the number of male sex hormones).

3. Hormonal Imbalance

We prove that the lower levels of the hormone progesterone are very important to maintain pregnancy in the initial terms. In some cases, pronounced hormonal disorders may be the result of multiple cysts in the ovaries, thyroid disease or diabetes.

Hormonal imbalance usually brings harm in early pregnancy, namely until 16 that week. In the later period of hormones are provided by the placenta.

4. Immunological factors

This can be explained by the specific characteristics of the organism of each person to produce antibodies to fight infections. But it happens that in the expectant mothers begin to form antibodies that destroy its own cells (autoantibodies). Because of this, a woman can appear serious health problems occur and miscarriage.

5. Infectious causes

A special place among all causes of recurrent miscarriage is given infection in the genitals. The main agents in this case are ureaplasma and mycoplasma. Avert the threat of a possible miscarriage of advance planning can be examined by a doctor.

6. Thrombophilia

Is a disease characterized by impaired blood clotting (thickening occurs it). When habitual miscarriage, usually marked genetically inherited thrombophilia. The presence of relatives of diseases of the cardiovascular system (eg heart attack or stroke, hypertension, venous pathology, and others.) Threatens that expectant mothers can develop hereditary thrombophilia. During her pregnancy the placenta formed microthrombuses capable of upsetting the circulation and lead to abortion.

Standard examination with repeated miscarriages

We suggest you familiarize yourself with the list of major surveys and analyzes prescribed for habitual miscarriage:

    Consult specialist genetics;

    Ultrasound or nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvic organs (by prescription);

    Endoscopic examination of the uterine cavity (hysteroscopy);

    Examination of the blood for the presence of infections such as herpes and cytomegalovirus;

    Swab from the genitals to test for chlamydia, ureaplasma, mycoplasma;

    Bacteriological analysis of secretions from the cervix;

    Uterine endometrial biopsy with histological and bacteriological studies. Conducted to determine the presence of bacterial infection on day 7-8 of the menstrual cycle;

    Taking blood antisperm, antifosofolipidnye antibodies as well as antibodies to progesterone and hCG;

    Immunological studies;

    Determination of the rate of blood clotting (coagulation);

    Check blood for genetic predisposition to thrombophilia.

In the event that the cause of recurrent miscarriage was not detected even after a comprehensive examination, the spouses do not lose hope. According to statistics, 65% of all known cases after several miscarriages still come safely proceeding pregnancy. To do this, you must comply with all requirements of doctors and do not forget about proper interval between the previous and subsequent pregnancies.

Full physical recovery after miscarriage occurs for a period from a few weeks to a month or two (depending on at what exactly the term of the pregnancy was interrupted). But for emotional stabilization sometimes requires much more time.

The main methods of treatment

Contacting a qualified and experienced professional - a pledge of future full gestation. After a series of surveys and identify the main causes of abortion, you can begin treatment.

In that case, if the woman or her spouse were identified congenital genetic anomalies , geneticists can advise holding IVF (in vitro fertilization or, more simply, in vitro fertilization in vitro). In this case will be used for fertilization, donor eggs or sperm (depends on who it is from the partners were detected chromosomal abnormalities).

If women have a place in the structure of the anomalies of the uterus , the treatment of recurrent miscarriage would be to remove structural defects and close supervision throughout the period of pregnancy. At the muscular weakness collar around the neck of the uterus, usually superimposed special seam. This procedure is called "cervical seklyazhem" and is held at the beginning of pregnancy.

When insufficient blood progesterone (if the woman was identified hormonal imbalance), the doctor is obliged to appoint a similar application of the hormone drugs - progestins. One such medication is utrogestan. It is very easy to use, as it can be taken both internally and by the introduction into the vagina. Vaginal administration method has more advantages, as the local absorption provides faster delivery of progesterone in uterine blood flow. Dosage and treatment should be prescribed only by the attending physician.

In identifying the causes of immunologic treatment of recurrent miscarriage is based on the use of small doses of aspirin and other agents that promote blood thinners. The same therapy is indicated for thrombophilia.

For the treatment of infections shown antibiotics: ofloksina, doxycycline or vibromitsina. Antibiotic therapy should be administered to both partners. Control examination for the presence of pathogens in the body of the above is carried out one month after treatment.

It is important to know that seeing a pregnant woman with recurrent pregnancy loss should be done every week, and if necessary - often with hospitalization.

What signs indicate the threat of miscarriage?

After the appropriate treatment, and with the beginning of a new pregnancy, women should be more carefully listen to your own body. This does not mean that it needs to constantly worry about possible problems, but the timely identification of danger signs can help to keep the child in the event of a threat.

The characteristic symptom of threatened abortion is the appearance of bleeding . Bleeding from the vagina during spontaneous abortion usually begins suddenly. In some cases it is preceded by dragging pain in the lower abdomen. These painful feelings resemble the same as those appearing before menstruation.

Besides the allocation of blood from the genital tract are considered dangerous following symptoms: weakness throughout the body , malaise, nausea sharp decrease that was present before, fever, intense emotional stress.

However, it is worth remembering that not all occurrences of bleeding during the initial term ends miscarriage. If a woman has appeared any vaginal discharge, she needs as soon as possible to see a doctor. Only a specialist will be able to conduct the necessary examination, while defining the status of the fetus, the presence of uterine cervical opening, and the appropriate treatment to help maintain the pregnancy.

If bleeding from the genital tract were found in the hospital in the first place is held vaginal study. In the case before this miscarriage occurs only once in the first trimester, the study should be conducted shallow. If the miscarriage occurred in the second trimester or the woman happened more than two spontaneous abortion, shows a complete examination.

Remember that pregnancy will pass favorably only if you truly believe in its happy outcome. The appearance of two long-awaited strips on the test - this is only the beginning. Smooth throughout pregnancy will depend only on your emotional health, so try less to worry about. Be attentive to all the signs of your body and do not forget the often observed by a doctor, because the children are our bright future that make a joy to the gray everyday life and demonstrates that care for them from the very conception - and there is the real happiness.

Month after Miscarriage

In today's world of miscarriage in early pregnancy is a very common phenomenon. And many women are interested in, when their lives after this event will go down in the groove.

Including a number of days after the miscarriage come monthly, and when you can get pregnant again.
