Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for over two months. Most of the time, I've been busy, and when I went to the toilet, I noticed obvious skin breakdown. I've been feeling a heavy sensation in my rectum, accompanied by severe pain in my left leg. A thorough examination revealed that it's threatened miscarriage. I want to know why threatened miscarriage happens?Doctor's answer:
Chromosomal abnormalities are the main cause of miscarriage. Maternal factors can also lead to miscarriage, such as abnormal fertilized eggs, endocrine disorders, placental dysfunction, blood type incompatibility, systemic diseases, excessive mental stress, genital malformations, inflammation, and trauma, all of which can cause threatened miscarriage. How a threatened miscarriage progresses to a miscarriage often determines the abnormality of the embryo, but most miscarriages are caused by embryonic abnormalities, so the outcome is still a miscarriage. In addition to possible maternal malnutrition, especially during the early stages of pregnancy when morning sickness occurs, leading to nutritional depletion and causing threatened miscarriage. If a woman's emotions are unstable after conception, it can also lead to threatened miscarriage. If a threatened miscarriage occurs, it is important to seek medical help immediately and take appropriate medication to preserve the fetus.
