Pain during miscarriage

Until recently, you were so happy about the birth of a new life in you, were in high spirits in anticipation of a miracle, but ... Life is not predictable, and despite compliance with all the rules and precautions during pregnancy, there was a miscarriage.

It should be said that many girls do not always understand that they had a miscarriage, because at the initial stage of pregnancy (up to 4-5 weeks) miscarriage and pain during miscarriage can easily be taken for profuse menstruation.

We will not be deceived, it will be hard to cope with moral pain, it will take time, care and support of loved ones, attention, patience, and most importantly - the desire to move on. Let's talk about the pain sometimes more simple - about the pain of the physical.

So, for a medical definition, miscarriage is a spontaneous abortion of a pregnancy. According to statistics, spontaneous abortion (or miscarriage) results in 15% -20% of clinically established pregnancies. Considering the rather large share of cases of such misfortune, physicians have long begun to investigate this problem with the goal of preventing spontaneous abortions and reducing the number of risks if such a pathological event did occur.

Symptoms of miscarriage

So, let's look at the signs that you can still suspect a miscarriage. First of all, you need to have an established pregnancy, because talking about miscarriage is possible only if there is an embryo in the uterus. The main sign of a possible miscarriage is bleeding (both strong and very weak). Often, miscarriage begins with a scanty hemorrhage, accompanied by gradually increasing pulling pains in the lower abdomen (as with menstruation). The color of the secreted blood can range from scarlet to brown. As you can see, if you have such a uterine bleeding (and you are certain that this is not menstruation), you should immediately consult a gynecologist, because any uterine bleeding other than the menstrual bleeding is abnormal!

Often, the fetus dies in the uterus long before the hemorrhage, so it is excreted from the body of the woman in parts (hence the formless clots of blood). In addition, in the secretions are often found whitish particles. When the fetus leaves the uterus entirely, it looks like a gray bladder. In both cases, the hemorrhage often occurs after a couple of days and is accompanied by painful pains in the lower abdomen.

It is very important that the woman's uterus is completely cleansed after miscarriage, otherwise development of sepsis (inflammation) is possible, which without proper treatment can even lead to death. Therefore, even after the end of bleeding, you need to go to a gynecologist. The doctor will examine the uterine cavity and make a conclusion: whether additional cavity curettage and antibiotic therapy are needed, or not. The next menstruation, as a rule, comes with some delay (a month and a half later).

Characteristic pain during miscarriage

Here are the main locations of pain during miscarriage for primary self-diagnosis:

• Minor / severe back pain (stronger than with menstruation);
• Slight weight loss;
• White and pink discharge from the vagina;
• Painful contractions of the uterus (every 5-15 minutes);
• Bleeding (brown or bright red), accompanied by colic;
• Exit the vagina of blood clots and connective tissue;
• Relief of pregnancy signs.

Today, there is still no panacea for miscarriage, but self-diagnosis, attention to alarming symptoms and constant pregnancy management by a gynecologist will help to provide for miscarriage and minimize possible consequences.

Diagnosis and treatment after miscarriage

Today's medicine offers a whole range of tests, the purpose of which is to determine the cause of spontaneous abortion. It is necessary to undergo an ultrasound examination aimed at detecting abnormalities of the uterine wall. Before carrying out the above tests and diagnostics, if necessary, scraping the walls of the uterus.

These can be:

• Analyzes for hormones.
• Analyzes for infection (TORCH-complex).
• Habitual miscarriages: pass tests for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and lupus anticoagulant (VA).

To identify the causes and to eliminate pain during miscarriage, doctors prescribe a course of therapy. Antibiotics are prescribed without fail, since spontaneous abortion and the subsequent cleaning of the uterine cavity entail a variety of infections in the body of a woman.

Often physical recovery after a miscarriage takes from several hours to several days (full recovery takes 4-6 weeks). Treatment is selected based on the cause of spontaneous abortion.
