Miscarriage (유산)

About one in three or four pregnancies ends with the loss of the fetus in what's called a miscarriage, or spontaneous abortion. The majority of miscarriages occur during the earliest stages―the first trimester, or 13 weeks of pregnancy. In fact, many women may not even realize they were pregnant.

 

일부 유산은 "화학적 유산"에서 나오는데, 이는 긍정적인 검사가 나왔지만, 자궁에 수정란이 삽입된 직후에 임신이 소실되는 것이다. 결과적으로 그 여자는 그녀의 생리기간 즈음에 과도하게 피를 많이 흘릴 수도 있다.

 

Although a number of factors increase the likelihood of having a miscarriage, experts often aren't able to pinpoint the exact cause. Miscarriage can result from chromosomal abnormalities or a health condition of the mother, such as a hormonal problem, diabetes, thyroid disease, an infection, a cervical abnormality, or an autoimmune disorder. Lifestyle factors, such as drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, or taking drugs, also raise the risk of pregnancy loss. Caffeine plays a role as well: A recent study found that women who took in more than 200 milligrams of caffeine daily, or more than the amount in about 2 cups of coffee, were twice as likely to have a miscarriage as those who didn't consume any.

 

유산의 많은 경우에서 여자들은 더 나아간 치료가 요구되진 않는다. 그러나 만약 자궁 내에 어떤 남은 조직이 있다면, 산부인과 의사는 확장과 소파술이라 불리우는 수술을 권유하는데 이는 자궁경부를 확장시켜 그 남은 조직을 제거하는 것이다. 다른 선택은 미소프로토솔이라 불리는 처방약이 있는데, 이는 자궁이 자체적으로 깨끗해지도록 돕는 약이다.

 

 

 

About 70 percent of women who experience repeated miscarriages eventually give birth.

 

The risk of a couple experiencing a miscarriage increases after age 35 in women and 40 in men.
