Understanding Unsuccessful Pregnancies

What Are Unsuccessful Pregnancies?

Unsuccessful pregnancies, also known as miscarriages or pregnancy loss, occur when a pregnancy ends spontaneously before the 20th week. This can happen for various reasons and affects approximately 10-20% of known pregnancies.

Causes of Unsuccessful Pregnancies

1. Chromosomal Abnormalities

The most common cause of miscarriages is chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. These genetic issues often occur by chance and are usually not preventable.

2. Hormonal Imbalances

Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid disorders can lead to hormonal imbalances that may increase the risk of miscarriage.

3. Uterine Abnormalities

Structural issues with the uterus, such as fibroids or an abnormally shaped uterus, can interfere with the implantation and development of the embryo.

4. Infections

Certain infections, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs), can affect pregnancy outcomes.

5. Chronic Health Conditions

Chronic illnesses like diabetes, hypertension, and autoimmune diseases can contribute to pregnancy loss.

6. Lifestyle Factors

Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and drug use can increase the risk of miscarriage.

Symptoms of Unsuccessful Pregnancies

Common symptoms of miscarriage include:

Vaginal spotting or bleeding
Abdominal pain or cramping
Fluid or tissue passing from the vagina

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention.

Diagnosing Unsuccessful Pregnancies

At FMGC, our specialists use various diagnostic tools to determine the cause of miscarriage, including:

Ultrasound: To check the embryo’s development.
