Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I have had two miscarriages before, one was induced and the other was medication. It has been a year and a half. The first time was because I didn't want it, and the second time was because I took medication. Now I want to have a child, and I am wondering if I still need to pay attention to the risk of natural miscarriage during pregnancy (I am worried that the previous two times will affect me in the future). I hope the doctor can give me an answer and tell me how to pay attention. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Multiple miscarriages can be quite harmful. They can damage the endometrium, making it easier for future pregnancies to result in conditions like placenta previa or placenta accreta, leading to postpartum hemorrhage, endocrine disorders, menstrual irregularities, and even amenorrhea. Post-abortion infections are common, such as pelvic inflammatory disease or tubal inflammation, which may lead to infertility. It can also cause blood clots, habitual abortion, endometriosis, uterine perforation, and other issues. However, it is not absolute. If the surgical procedure is performed properly, infection control is thorough, and the uterus and ovaries recover well post-surgery, along with regular follow-up visits as prescribed by the doctor, it generally will not affect future health.
