Help fif you are experiencing repeated miscarriages

From a naturopathic viewpoint miscarriage is preventable, it is not just ' one of those things' and there is little point in giving just the advice to 'try again' unless attention is given to those factors which could cause miscarriage and which are amenable to treatment.

Naturopathically, miscarriage can be prevented by ensuring that the foetus is viable, the environment in which it grows is healthy and that undue stress, physical or emotional especially during the first trimester is avoided.

Most miscarriages are often the results of factors present at the time of conception. Because of this the best way to avoid them is for both parents to practice preconception care for a few months before your pregnancy starts. This helps enormously to ensure that the foetus is viable and the environment that it grows in the early weeks is healthy. I know that a few months seems like a long time but especially if recurrent miscarriages is a problem it is really important to stop and get everything in order before attempting another conception.

Causes of miscarriage may be divided into 5 main groups and the percentage of contribution has been estimated as:

Infection ( Chlamydia, mycoplasma and ureaplasma most common) = 1%

Anatomical defect of uterus = 5 - 12%

Progesterone deficiency/ luteal phase defect = 20%

Chromosomal abnormality = 7 - 50%

Immune mechanism = 30 -50%

Unknown = 15%

There are a bewildering number of tests carried out after a miscarriage, most of these are to check for immunological causes of recurrent miscarriages. I will write some more information about these in detail separately.
Naturopathically we look at all these results including hormonal results to narrow down the cause of these miscarriages and then treat accordingly including possible detoxification before really good preconception care for both parents.
