keskenmenoille

Keskenmeno, also known as miscarriage, refers to the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week of gestation. It is a relatively common event, with estimates suggesting that between 10% and 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies end in miscarriage. The majority of miscarriages occur in the first trimester, typically before the 12th week.

The primary cause of early miscarriage is usually due to chromosomal abnormalities in the developing embryo, meaning the fetus has an incorrect number of chromosomes. These abnormalities are generally random and not inherited. Other factors that can increase the risk of miscarriage include advanced maternal age, certain chronic health conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes or thyroid problems, uterine abnormalities, and lifestyle factors like smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, or drug use.

Symptoms of miscarriage can vary. They may include vaginal bleeding, which can range from light spotting to heavy bleeding, abdominal pain or cramping, and the passage of tissue or fluid from the vagina. In some cases, there may be no noticeable symptoms, and a miscarriage is discovered during a routine prenatal check-up.

Diagnosis is typically made through a pelvic exam, blood tests to check hormone levels, and ultrasound to confirm the absence of fetal heartbeat or to assess the contents of the uterus. Treatment depends on the type of miscarriage and the individual's situation. Some miscarriages pass naturally and require no medical intervention, while others may require medication or a surgical procedure to remove remaining tissue from the uterus.

Experiencing a miscarriage can be a deeply distressing event. Emotional and psychological support is often important for individuals and couples who have gone through this loss. While most miscarriages are not preventable, maintaining a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy can contribute to a healthier pregnancy outcome.
