Patient's question:
I have been pregnant before but none of them were kept, and I ended up having a miscarriage. The doctor told me I have habitual abortion. Is this condition treatable? How should I take care of myself after the surgery for habitual abortion?Doctor's answer:
The causes of habitual abortion are mostly due to luteal function insufficiency in pregnant women, hypothyroidism, congenital uterine malformations, uterine developmental abnormalities, intrauterine adhesions, uterine fibroids, chromosomal abnormalities, and autoimmune conditions. Habitual late miscarriage is often caused by cervical insufficiency. This is usually due to damage to the cervical os resulting from procedures such as dilation and curettage, and rarely, it may be due to congenital developmental abnormalities. The patient's daily routine should be regular, with at least eight hours of sleep per day if possible. It is also advisable to engage in moderate aerobic exercise regularly. Additionally, smoking and drinking beer should be avoided during pregnancy, and exposure to secondhand smoke should be prevented.
