What causes repeated miscarriages in early pregnancy?

Question

Hello doctor,

I got married seven months back. I had my first pregnancy two months before. I had some bleeding in the beginning. After six weeks, the doctor said the baby was not growing, and an abortion had to be done. The abortion was done surgically, and after a month, I conceived. I had a scan, and the radiologist said the heat beat was normal. After 15 days, I had my next consultation and at that time doctor said the baby's heartbeat was no more and abortion had to be done. The doctor suggested me some tests, and the TORCH test was positive. I was prescribed Spiramycin tablets for ten days. Is there any problem? What could be the reason for repeated abortions? I had sex last night. Can I have sex or not at this time? Please suggest.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Any hormonal disturbance like thyroid abnormalities, diabetes, congenital and genetic issues in conception, and infections can cause miscarriage. Have a complete check-up and treatment of any health issue before planning for the subsequent pregnancy. It is recommended to have a special investigation after three consecutive miscarriages. Even you can discuss and request those.

1. Have folic acid tablets daily.

2. Have a healthy diet with less salt, sugar, spice, and oil.

3. Daily walking, regular exercise, and normal BMI (body mass index) also help to have a normal pregnancy.

4. Quit recreational drugs if you have been taking them. Recreational drugs can cause congenital anomalies in fetuses and can cause miscarriage.

TORCH (toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex, and HIV) test is a group of blood tests. If you do not have any bleeding and weakness, then there is no issue in having sex. Any infection during pregnancy can increase the chance of miscarriage.

Thank you.
