Patient's question:
Main factors or etiology of habitual abortionDoctor's answer:
This habitual abortion should be primarily prevented. Before conception, both partners should undergo thorough medical examinations at the hospital, including genital examinations and necessary laboratory tests. If possible, chromosomal testing can be performed. If factors or causes are identified, treatment should be targeted accordingly. For those already pregnant, different methods of fetal preservation should be followed under the guidance of a doctor, based on the identified factors or causes.Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that this condition is often due to insufficient kidney qi and weak (Chong Ren) channels, so it is advisable to tonify the kidneys and spleen, strengthen qi, nourish blood, and regulate the condition before pregnancy. Specific herbal formulas such as Bu Shen Gu Chong Wan (Kidney-Tonifying and Chong Channel Strengthening Pill) can be used.
For habitual abortion caused by cervical insufficiency in the late stages of pregnancy, cervical cerclage surgery is typically performed between the 16th and 22nd weeks of gestation to maintain the pregnancy until the later stages or full term.
