How is miscarriage diagnosed and treated?
Your doctor will make gynecological and ultrasound examination to confirm that miscarriage has occurred. If the miscarriage is complete and the womb is clean, than no special treatment is usually necessary. If the miscarriage does not completely clear on its own, this is an ‘incomplete abortion’ and medical intervention is required. The most common form of intervention is surgical, it involves dilating the cervix followed by scraping the uterine walls with a curette, a spoon-shaped instrument with a sharp edge. Alternatively, you may be given a medicine to stimulate the womb to clean itself. Both ways have their risks so it has to be carefully decided what to do in any specific case.
If miscarriage has not been confirmed but the miscarriage symptoms have been taken place, you will be prescribed bed rest or sent to the hospital for a survey. The pregnancy hormone (choriogonadotropin) test will be made to find out your baby status. When the bleeding stops you will be allowed to return back to your usual activity. If the womb cervix is still open special procedure may be done to close it. If you have rhesus negative blood and your partner has positive one the doctor may prescribe you immunoglobulin. It prevents antibodies formation that may hurt your baby and any of your future pregnancy.
If a woman has more than two miscarriages repeatedly she may be prescribed blood tests, genetic tests and treatment by medications. Some diagnostic procedures for finding out the reasons of the repeated miscarriage include: endometrial biopsy (taking small amount of endometrial tissue from the womb and its microscopic examination), hysterosalpingoram (X-ray womb examination with a thin telescopic device that is placed into vagina), and laparoscopy (Surgical intervention when the doctor makes pelvic organs examination with an illuminated tool).
After the diagnostic procedures the magicians may find out the reason of your miscarriage to take into account your body specific functioning features in the next pregnancies.
