Diagnosis and prevention of interrupted pregnancies

Statistics show that one in five pregnancies can end in miscarriage. This situation becomes a real ordeal for couples, causing distress that is not only physical but also emotional. However, it is important to remember that modern medicine offers many opportunities for diagnosis and prevention of recurrences. The loss of pregnancy should not make couples lose hope for successful parenthood.

To discover the cause of pregnancy failure, a comprehensive diagnosis is necessary, including medical and genetic studies. The results allow for the identification of individual risk factors and the implementation of effective measures to prevent future miscarriages.

Genetic tests for miscarriages

The list of necessary tests is drawn up by a geneticist, as this specialist is able to determine the genetic factors that may influence a miscarriage. Consulting a geneticist is important to identify hidden hereditary diseases, to assess the risk of transmitting genetic abnormalities to the fetus, and to select the most effective diagnostic tests for both partners. For example, the specialist may recommend

• Genetic diagnosis of the hemostatic system;
• Determination of endothelial dysfunction;
• Analysis of growth factor genes;
• Search for genetic mutations responsible for hormonal metabolism and other processes.

Prevention of interrupted pregnancy

Based on the results of the diagnosis, the treating physician proposes measures to prevent pregnancy failure based on a comprehensive assessment of the patient's medical history, laboratory test results, ultrasound results, hormonal indicators, and genetic test results. Risk factors such as chronic diseases, age, lifestyle, and complications from previous pregnancies are also taken into account. This approach allows for the development of an individualized treatment and prevention plan to minimize potential risks.

These may include:

• medications
• surgical intervention (if necessary);
• strengthening general health;
• avoiding harmful habits.

Particularities of managing pregnancy through natural conception and IVF

Natural conception

For women who conceive naturally, particular attention is paid to the comprehensive monitoring of their health status. It is recommended to perform this monitoring at least once a month during the first and second trimesters, and during the third trimester, every two weeks, and more often if necessary. It is important to monitor the following parameters

• Hormone levels (including progesterone and chorionic gonadotropin);
• Blood pressure;
• Blood and urine values;
• Regular ultrasound examinations to assess the condition of the fetus and placenta.

This approach allows for early detection of possible complications and minimizes risks for both the mother and child. It also includes

• Support for a healthy lifestyle and diet;
• Psychological support to reduce stress levels that can affect carrying a pregnancy to term.

In the context of IVF

For patients who have undergone in vitro fertilization (IVF), the diagnosis and prevention of pregnancy interruption require closer monitoring. Indeed, a pregnancy after IVF often comes with an increased risk of complications such as hormonal imbalance, problems with embryo implantation, multiple pregnancies, and the possibility of placental abnormalities. For this reason, more frequent medical follow-up is necessary, including:

• Frequent follow-up visits with your doctor;
• Hormonal support therapy to stabilize the endometrium;
• Genetic testing on embryos before implantation to exclude any severe chromosomal abnormalities;
• Individualized medication support regimens based on diagnostic results.
