Patient's question:
Hello, doctor. I had two painless abortions two years ago. I got pregnant again this July, as it was unplanned. Unaware, I took metronidazole. Considering the health of future offspring, I decided not to keep this baby and underwent medication-induced abortion. The fetus was 47 days old at the time. The medication-induced abortion went relatively smoothly.When I was pregnant before, my abdomen always felt like menstrual cramps. I was very worried about having habitual abortion. I heard that taking vitamin E and folic acid can prevent habitual abortion, as I plan to get pregnant by the end of the year.
Doctor's answer:
You need to identify the cause of habitual abortion. Common causes of habitual abortion include:1. Endocrine dysfunction
2. Embryonic (or fetal) factors, such as abnormal embryonic development, which is the most common cause of early abortion.
3. Exposure to external physical factors, such as high temperatures, noise interference, or contact with harmful/toxic substances.
4. Immunological factors
5. Acute or chronic diseases, uterine malformations, pelvic tumors, cervical incompetence, or lacerations, as well as other gynecological conditions.
It is recommended to go to a regular specialized hospital for a detailed examination to identify the cause, receive targeted treatment, and do not miss the best treatment window.
