Male Infertility

 When it comes to male infertility, it is the health issue that restrict the couple to conceive due to the causes related to the male partner. Around 13 of 100 couples fail to become parent naturally and many other times even medicines and therapies don't work. Of all the cases, in one third the problem lies within the male partner. As in normal conditions the fertility is maintained by the millions of sperms that enter female body during ejaculation. The infertility is mostly due to the causes related  with sperm. Mostly in this condition when the medications and surgical procedures fail to work, the solution lies with the assisted reproductive techniques.

CAUSES:

Unhealthy sperms or fewer sperms are the main reason of infertility. There are many causes associated with sperms . In order to be fertile:

  • Male must produce healthy sperm. 
  • Sperm must be well mixed with 
  • The sperm count must be enough to reach the female uterus
  • The sperm must be viable 
  • The sperm must be mobile
To make the female partner pregnant, the male sperm must be in proper count, perfect size and shape, they must have the chemical  so thatthe ova could detect the sperm, they must be well nourished, they must be mobile, they must have capacity and viability till they reach and fuse with the female ova.

Medical Causes:

Other than physiological causes, the man can have issues like:
  • Swelling in the veins that drain the testicle is known as varicocele
  • Inflammation of the epididymis (epididymitis) or testicles (orchitis) and some sexually transmitted infections, including gonorrhea or HIV or any other infection involving the reproductive system or urogenital system can lead to infertility. 
  • Retrograde ejaculation don't let the sperm enter female body and thus may lead to infertility. 
  • Autoimmune diseases involving the sperm.
  • Tumours  involving the urogenital  system or even brain tumours cause infertility 
  • Hormonal imbalance and undescended testicles 
  • Problem with sexual intercourse or any genetic disorder.
  • A digestive disorder caused by sensitivity to gluten, celiac disease can cause male infertility
  • Steroids and other medications may affect the fertility too.
  • Prior surgeries that might have involved the urogenital system can cause infertility too.
Environment And Lifestyle Causes:

Smoking , drinking,  drugs can lead to impotency
Hazardous chemicals
Overheating over the testicles
Radiations
Heavy Metals
Actinotherapy
Psychological Disorders 
Obesity 

Risk factors

Risk factors linked to male infertility include:
  • Smoking tobacco
  • Using alcohol
  • Using certain illicit drugs
  • Being overweight
  • Being severely depressed or stressed
  • Having certain past or present infections
  • Being exposed to toxins
  • Overheating the testicles
  • Traumatic injurie to the testis or penis
  • Earlier vasectomy or major abdominal or pelvic surgery
  • Having a history of undescended testicle
  • Congenital fertility disorder or any infertility in lineage.
  • Having certain medical conditions, including tumours and chronic illnesses, such as sickle cell disease
  • Side effects of cancer or undergoing medical treatments
  • Difficulty with ejaculation, or erection or small volumes of fluid ejaculated, reduced sexual desire, or difficulty maintaining an erection 
  • Pain, swelling or a lump around penis or testicles
  • Recurrent respiratory infections
  • Inability to smell
  • Abnormal breast growth (gynecomastia)

Which foods to eat and avoid during pregnancy?

 Pregnant women need to ensure that their diet provides enough nutrients and energy for the baby to develop and grow properly. They also need to make sure that her body is healthy enough to deal with the changes that are occurring.

For a healthy pregnancy, the mother’s diet needs to be balanced and nutritious – this involves the right balance of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, and consuming a wide variety of plants like vegetables, and fruits.

Some women’s diets may be impacted by ethical beliefs, religious requirements, or health conditions, so checking with a doctor is an important part of planning a pregnancy diet.

Rules

As mentioned above, the mother should follow a varied, balanced, and nutritious diet, and it must include:

Fruit and vegetables

Aim for five portions of fruit and vegetables per day. They may be in the form of juice, dried, canned, frozen, or fresh. Fresh and frozen (if frozen soon after picking) produce usually have higher levels of vitamins and other nutrients.

Experts stress that eating fruit is usually better for you than just drinking the juice, as natural sugar levels in juice are very high. Consider vegetable juices like carrot or wheatgrass for dense nutrition.

Starchy carbohydrate-rich foods

Starchy carbohydrate-rich foods include potatoes, rice, pasta, and bread. Carbohydrates are high in energy, and are therefore an important component of a good pregnancy diet.

Protein

Healthful, animal-sourced proteins include fish, lean meat, and chicken, as well as eggs. All pregnant women and especially vegans should consider the following foods as good sources of protein:

  • Quinoa – known as a “complete protein,” it includes all the essential amino acids.
  • Tofu and soy products.
  • Beans, lentils, legumes, nuts, seeds, and nut butters are a good source of protein and iron.
British and Brazilian researchers reported in the journal PLoS ONE that pregnant women who ate seafood had lower levels of anxiety compared with those who did not. Pregnant mothers who never consumed seafood had a 53 percent greater risk of suffering from high levels of anxiety, the authors wrote.

Fats

Fats should not make up more than 30 percent of a pregnant woman’s diet. Researchers from the University of Illinois reported in the Journal of Physiology that a high-fat diet may genetically program the baby for future diabetes.

Fiber

Wholegrain foods, such as wholemeal bread, wild rice, wholegrain pasta, pulses like beans and lentils, fruit, and vegetables are rich in fiber.

Women have a higher risk of developing constipation during pregnancy; eating plenty of fiber is effective in minimizing that risk. Studies have shown that eating plenty of fiber during pregnancy reduces the risk or severity of hemorrhoids, which also become more common as the fetus grows.

Calcium

It is important to have a healthy daily intake of calcium. Dairy foods, such as cheese, milk, and yogurt are rich in calcium. If the mother is vegan, she should consider the following calcium-rich foods; calcium-fortified soymilk and other plant milks and juices, calcium-set tofu, soybeans, bok choy, broccoli, collards, Chinese cabbage, okra, mustard greens, beans, kale, and soynuts.

Zinc

Zinc is a vital trace element. It plays a major role in normal growth and development, cellular integrity, and several biological functions including nucleic acid metabolism and protein synthesis.

Since all these functions are involved in growth and cell division, zinc is important for the development of the fetus. The best sources of zinc are chicken, turkey, ham, shrimp, crab, oysters, meat, fish, dairy products, beans, peanut butter, nuts, sunflower seeds, ginger, onions, bran, wheat germ, rice, pasta, cereals, eggs, lentils, and tofu.

Iron and pregnancy

Iron makes up a major part of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying pigment and main protein in the red blood cells; it carries oxygen throughout the body.

During pregnancy, the amount of blood in the mother’s body increases by almost 50 percent – she needs more iron to make more hemoglobin for all that extra blood.

Most women start their pregnancy without adequate stores of iron to meet the increasing demands of their bodies, particularly after the 3rd or 4th month. If iron stores are inadequate, the mother may become anemic, and there is a higher risk of:
  • Preterm delivery.
  • Low-weight baby.
  • Stillbirth.
  • Newborn death.
  • Tiredness, irritability, depression (in the mother) during the pregnancy.
If the mother is anemic later in the pregnancy, there is a higher risk of losing a lot of blood when she gives birth. The following foods are rich sources of iron:
  • Dried beans.
  • Dried fruits, such as apricots.
  • Egg yolk.
  • Some whole grain cereals, if they are fortified with iron.
  • Liver is rich in iron, but doctors and most dietitians advise pregnant women to avoid liver. Liver is very high in vitamin A, which may harm the baby during pregnancy.
  • Lean meat.
  • Oysters (pregnant women should eat them cooked).
  • Poultry.
  • Salmon.
  • Tuna.
  • Lamb, pork, and shellfish also contain iron, but less than the items listed above.
  • Legumes – lima beans, soybeans, kidney beans, dried beans, and peas.
  • Seeds – Brazil nuts and almonds.
  • Vegetables, especially dark green ones – broccoli, spinach, dandelion leaves, asparagus, collards, and kale.
  • Wholegrains – brown rice, oats, millet, and wheat.
Non-animal sources of iron are less easily absorbed by the body. Mixing some lean meat, fish, or poultry with them can improve their absorption rates.

Foods to avoid

The following foods are best avoided during pregnancy:

  • Mercury in some types of fish – shark, swordfish, and marlin should be avoided, or kept to an absolute minimum.
  • Uncooked or partially cooked meat – this should be avoided, it should be cooked right through. Uncooked shellfish – there is a risk of bacterial or viral contamination which can cause food poisoning. Some bacteria and viruses can also cross the placenta and harm the baby.
  • Raw eggs – including any foods with raw or partially cooked eggs in them. Eggs must be well cooked through to avoid salmonella infection.
  • Uncooked or undercooked ready-prepared meals – it is crucial that ready-prepared meals are cooked through until they are piping hot. The risk of listeriosis exists, as well as infection from other pathogens.
  • Pate – any type of pate, be it vegetable or meat-based – the risk here is also of listeria infection.
  • Soft mold-ripened cheese – such as blue-veined cheese, Brie or Camembert. There is a risk of listeria infection. Listeria is a group of bacteria that can cause potentially fatal infections to pregnant women and their babies.
  • Empty calorie foods – cakes, biscuits, cookies, chips and candy should be kept to a minimum. Many of these options are high in sugar and fat, have little nutritional content, and may undermine a pregnant woman’s efforts at maintaining a healthy body weight.
Weight gain

According to the Institute of Medicine, USA, a woman whose body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 24.9 should gain 25-35 pounds (11.4-15.9 kilograms) during the 9 months. A woman who is overweight at the start of pregnancy should gain between 15-25 pounds (6.8 to 11.4 kg). Weight gain recommendations may also vary, depending on the woman’s age, fetal development, and her current health.

Excessive or insufficient weight gain can undermine the health of both the fetus and the mother.

Supplements

Iron

heartburn

Folic acid

The National Health Service (NHS), United Kingdom, recommends that supplements in the form of folic acid should be 400 mcg (micrograms) per day up to the 12th week of pregnancy. Ideally, women should have been on them before becoming pregnant, the NHS says.

Vitamin D

Guidelines in the UK say that a pregnant woman should take supplements containing 10 mcg of vitamin D daily. Summer sunlight is a good source of vitamin D (the light does not have the vitamin, but triggers the skin to synthesize it) – however, exposure should be limited because too much sunlight on the skin can cause burning and raises the risk of developing skin cancer.

Zinc

A study published in the Food and Nutrition Bulletin reported that observational studies, have shown that “zinc deficiency during pregnancy may cause adverse pregnancy outcomes for the mother and fetus.” After assessing several studies they found that pregnant women on zinc supplements were 14 percent less likely to have a premature delivery.

What to know about sperm analysis?

A sperm analysis involves checking a sample of semen for overall sperm health.

The process can help doctors to determine the underlying cause of a person’s inability to conceive, or it may confirm the outcome of a vasectomy.

A sperm analysis tests for several markers of sperm health, including:
  • the number of sperm in 1 milliliter (ml) of semen
  • the size and shape of the sperm
  • the ability of the sperm to move correctly
In this article, we describe the purpose and procedure involved in sperm analysis, and we explain what the results may mean.

In this article, we describe the purpose and procedure involved in sperm analysis, and we explain what the results may mean.

Why is sperm analysis done?

People may require a sperm analysis for different reasons. Some individuals or couples will request a sperm analysis if they are having difficulty conceiving.

In couples that have been unable to conceive, some estimates suggest that there is a male factor present in 40 to 50 percent of cases.

Up to 2 percent of men demonstrate issues with their sperm, resulting from one or a combination of:
  • low sperm count in a sample of semen
  • poor sperm movement, known as motility
  • abnormal sperm size and shape, known as morphology
People may also have a sperm analysis to check if a vasectomy was successful. A vasectomy is a surgical procedure that doctors carry out for permanent male sterilization.

Following a vasectomy, doctors typically recommend regular sperm analyses for several months to ensure there are no sperm remaining in the semen.

How to obtain a sperm sample

Usually, a doctor will require a person to provide a semen sample while in the doctor’s office.

The most common way to collect a sample is for a person to masturbate and ejaculate into a sterile cup. The doctor provides a private room for a person to do this.

In some cases, a person can collect the semen sample at home. A doctor can provide a special condom that allows a person to collect a semen sample during sexual activity.

Otherwise, a doctor may recommend that the person ejaculates into a collection cup while at home.

When collecting a sample at home, people must remember to keep it at room temperature and bring it to the laboratory within a short timescale after collection.

To make sure that the sample is usable, the doctor may require that a person:
  • abstains from sex or masturbation for several days before the test
  • does not avoid ejaculation for more than 14 days before the test
  • avoids alcohol, caffeine, and marijuana before the sperm analysis
  • does not use lubricants when collecting the sample
  • informs the doctor of any medications or herbal remedies they are taking, before giving a sample
  • avoids providing a sample when unwell or stressed
The American Association for Clinical Chemistry recommends that medical professionals carry out 2 or more separate sperm analyses within 2- to 3-week intervals.

As sperm profiles can vary from day-to-day, an average of these results may give the most accurate picture of sperm health.

What do the results mean?

The results of a sperm analysis should be ready within a few days.

A sperm analysis looks at several factors when considering the health of the sperm. We discuss these factors and their results below.

Sperm count or concentration

Sperm count refers to the number of sperm that are present in 1 ml of semen. World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines suggest that a normal sperm count is at least 15 million per ml or no fewer than 39 million sperm per sample.

Having less than this indicates a low sperm count. Some research suggests that up to 90 percent of male infertility issues result from abnormal sperm counts.

Home sperm analysis kits usually only test for sperm count. As this is just one aspect of male fertility, it is important that people see their doctor and get comprehensive sperm analysis to check for other factors affecting their sperm.

Sperm motility

Sperm motility is the ability of the sperm to move efficiently. Low motility can reduce the sperm’s capacity to move through the female reproductive system to fertilize the egg.

In a typical sample, at least 50 percent of the sperm will demonstrate normal motility.

Sperm morphology

Morphology refers to the size and the shape of the individual sperm. Normal sperm have a long tail and oval-shaped head. Abnormally sized or shaped sperm can have difficulty reaching, penetrating, and fertilizing the egg.

Normal semen contains a minimum of 4 percent sperm with standard form.

What do abnormal results mean?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advise that a slightly abnormal sperm analysis does not mean that a person is permanently infertile. Instead, doctors can use the results as a tool to help identify what factors are causing fertility issues.

People who receive abnormal results from a semen analysis typically undergo further testing to help identify the exact issue. In many cases, a person’s fertility issues resolve with the right treatment.

Outlook

A sperm analysis is one of the first tests that males undergo to look for the reasons for difficulty with conceiving. People also require sperm analysis to check the success of a vasectomy.

If sperm analysis results are abnormal, a doctor will typically recommend further testing to help find the underlying cause and formulate a treatment plan.

Many cases of male infertility are treatable with lifestyle changes, medications, surgery, and other interventions. If these are unsuccessful, a doctor or fertility counselor can help people explore other options, such as donor sperm or adoption.

Can you use a heating pad while pregnant?

Heating pads can be used while pregnant to ease any pain in the muscles or joints, so long as they do not raise the woman’s body temperature too much.

Obstetricians and midwives routinely caution against the use of hot tubs during pregnancy, so it is understandable that women may worry about other heat sources during pregnancy, including heating pads.

Particularly in the third trimester as ligaments shift and the weight of the uterus increases, many women experience back and abdominal pain. It is usually okay to use a heating pad for brief periods, and it may be safer than other pain relievers, such as ibuprofen.

In this article, we discuss when it is safe to use a heating pad, where women can use it on their bodies, and the benefits and risks. We also look at other pain relief options that people can use during pregnancy.

Is it safe to use a heating pad while pregnant?

Some women worry about using heating pads during pregnancy because a high body temperature can harm the developing baby. When a woman’s body temperature increases, the baby’s temperature can rise too. Significant increases in temperature can cause birth abnormalities.

As long as a heating pad does not raise the woman’s core body temperature, it should be safe to use. People should avoid using heating pads overnight or while sleeping, when they may not notice temperature shifts. Consider using a heating pad for brief periods, such as 10 minutes or less.

A 2011 study linked the use of hot tubs during early pregnancy to neural tube abnormalities. The neural tube is the structure that eventually forms the brain and spinal cord; any damage to the neural tube can cause brain damage and other serious complications. The study found that regular use of hot tubs was especially dangerous.

Although no large, recent studies have directly tested the safety of heating pads during pregnancy, they are unlikely to raise a person’s core body temperature and are a routine part of pain relief during pregnancy.

A 2013 study concluded that combining several treatments at once, such as aerobic exercise, heating pads, and chiropractic care, was effective for pain relief. The study did not note any adverse outcomes associated with heating pads.

If any form of heat feels painful or uncomfortable, do not use it.

Using a heating pad on the belly and back

Many women have concerns about using a heating pad on the belly or back, which are typical locations for pain.

There is no evidence to suggest that using heating pads on the belly or back for brief periods is dangerous. Many doctors recommend low heat for back, hip, or pelvic pain. However, always speak to a doctor before applying heat to the belly or back.

To minimize any potential risks to the developing baby:
  • Limit the use of heating pads in the first trimester as this may be the riskiest time to raise the body temperature.
  • If using a heating pad makes anyone feel too hot, overheated, or causes sweating, stop using it.
  • Apply the heating pad for 10 minutes or less.
  • If the baby’s behavior changes, such as increasing or decreasing movement, stop using the heating pad.
  • Avoid using multiple sources of heat. For example, do not use a hair drier and heating pad at the same time as it is more difficult to control the heat and makes it harder for the body to cool down.
  • Avoid using a hot tub, sauna, or very hot shower to relieve pain.
  • Anyone who is bleeding or leaking amniotic fluid should not use a heating pad unless they get permission from a healthcare professional.
Benefits of heating pads

Heating pads might be a viable alternative to over-the-counter pain relievers. Anyone choosing to use pain relievers during pregnancy should speak to a doctor about the best kinds of medication to use.

Heat can help promote healing of minor injuries. Heat can also:
  • increase circulation
  • prevent or reduce painful muscle spasms
  • improve mobility in stiff muscles
  • offer temporary pain relief
Women should avoid using heat if they have an open wound, the area is numb, or during a fever.

Some women may find more relief by alternating hot and cold packs. Talk to a doctor before applying ice directly to the stomach or back.

Other pain relief options

Those who get no relief from heating pads can try some other options. Common prescription medications for chronic pain is likely to be safe during pregnancy, according to a review published in 2010.

Research consistently shows that acetaminophen is safe during pregnancy, but data on other over-the-counter medications are mixed. At different stages of pregnancy, some over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen, may not be safe.

Other pain relief options include:

Massage. The weight of the uterus can change a woman’s posture and way of walking, leading to widespread muscle tension. Gentle massage can loosen tense muscles and help with widespread pain and tension.

Relaxation exercises. Deep breathing, mindfulness, and other relaxation strategies may help to relieve pain. These exercises can also help with stress-related muscle tension.

Alternative remedies. Some people experience relief with complementary treatments, such as acupuncture.

Exercise and stretching. Exercise is generally safe during pregnancy. Physical activity may help relieve pain, prevent muscle stiffness, and reduce the risk of pregnancy-related complications, such as gestational diabetes.

Anyone considering treatment options such as massage or acupuncture should make sure they thoroughly research practitioners to find someone who is trained in prenatal methods and is comfortable treating women who are pregnant. A doctor may be able to offer recommendations on this.

Outlook

Every pregnancy is different, so anyone who is concerned about using heat to relieve pain should talk to a doctor or midwife first.

Some women may have other risk factors, such as a high body temperature due to an infection or a risk of preterm labor, which make a heating pad unsafe.

However, in most situations, a heating pad offers safe, quick relief from the aches and pains pregnancy brings.

How Long Does a Miscarriage Last?

Overview

A miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy before week 20. About 10 to 20 percent of pregnancies end in miscarriage, though the actual percentage is likely higher because some pregnancies are lost very early, before a woman realizes she is pregnant.


How long a miscarriage lasts can vary, depending on several factors. Read on to learn more about miscarriages.

Risks of having a miscarriage

The risk of a miscarriage increases with age. Women under age 35 have about a 15 percent chance of miscarriage. Women between the ages of 35 and 45 have a 20–35 percent chance.

If you become pregnant after the age of 45, your chance of miscarriage increases to 80 percent.

A miscarriage can happen to anyone, but the risk is higher if you’ve had prior miscarriages, have a chronic condition such as diabetes, or have uterine or cervical problems.

Other contributing factors include being:
  • smoking
  • alcohol abuse
  • being underweight
  • being overweight
How long does a miscarriage last?

If you experience a miscarriage before realizing you’re pregnant, you may think the bleeding and cramping are due to your menstrual cycle. So, some women have miscarriages and never realize it.

The length of a miscarriage differs for every woman, and it depends on different factors, including:
  • how far along you are in the pregnancy
  • whether you were carrying multiples
  • how long it takes your body to expel the fetal tissue and placenta
A woman early in her pregnancy may have a miscarriage and only experience bleeding and cramping for a few hours. But another woman may have miscarriage bleeding for up to a week.

The bleeding can be heavy with clots, but it slowly tapers off over days before stopping, usually within two weeks.

Symptoms of a miscarriage

A miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a fetus. Most miscarriages take place before week 12 of pregnancy.

Symptoms of a miscarriage may include:
  • vaginal spotting or bleeding
  • abdominal or pelvic pain
  • cramping in the lower back
  • fluid or discharge from the vagina
What are the causes of a miscarriage?

Miscarriages can be caused by many things. Some miscarriages occur because of abnormalities with a developing fetus, such as:
  • blighted ovum
  • molar pregnancy, a noncancerous tumor in the uterus that in rare cases develops into cancer
Chromosomal abnormalities caused by an abnormal egg or sperm account for about half of all miscarriages. Another potential cause is trauma to the stomach due to invasive procedures, such as chorionic villus sampling. Early in pregnancy, it would be unlikely that an accident or fall could result in miscarriage, since the uterus is so small and well protected within the bony pelvis.

Other causes include certain maternal diseases that put pregnancies at risk. Some miscarriages are unexplained with no cause known.

Daily activities do not typically cause a pregnancy loss. These include activities like exercise (once your doctor says it’s OK) and sex.

What to do if you have a miscarriage

If you think you’re having a miscarriage, seek medical help immediately. Any vaginal bleeding or pelvic pain should be evaluated. There are different tests your doctor can run to determine a miscarriage.

Your doctor will check your cervix during a pelvic examination. Your doctor might perform an ultrasound to check the fetal heartbeat. A blood test can look for the pregnancy hormone.

If you’ve passed pregnancy tissue, bring a sample of the tissue to your appointment so your doctor can confirm the miscarriage.

Types of miscarriage

There are different types of miscarriages. These include:

Threatened miscarriage

During a threatened miscarriage your cervix isn’t dilated, but you do experience bleeding. There is still a viable pregnancy present. There’s a risk of miscarriage, but with observation and medical intervention, you may be able to continue the pregnancy.

Inevitable miscarriage

An inevitable miscarriage is when your cervix is dilated and your uterus is contracting. You may already be passing some of the pregnancy tissue vaginally. This is a miscarriage already in progress.

Incomplete miscarriage

Your body releases some fetal tissue, but some of the tissue remains in your uterus.

Missed miscarriage

During a missed miscarriage, the embryo has died, but the placenta and embryonic tissue remain in your uterus. You may not have any symptoms, and the diagnosis is made incidentally on an ultrasound exam.

Complete miscarriage

During a complete miscarriage your body passes all the pregnancy tissue.

If you ignore a possible miscarriage, you could develop septic miscarriage, which is a rare but serious uterine infection. Symptoms of this complication include a fever, chills, abdominal tenderness, and foul-smelling vaginal discharge.

Ways to treat a miscarriage

Treatments vary according to the type of miscarriage. With a threatened miscarriage, your doctor may recommend you rest and limit activity until the pain and bleeding stop. If there’s a continued risk for a miscarriage, you may have to remain on bed rest until labor and delivery.

In some cases, you can let a miscarriage progress naturally. This process can take up to a couple of weeks. Your doctor will review bleeding precautions with you and what to expect. A second option is for your doctor to give you medication to help you pass the pregnancy tissue and placenta faster. This medication can be taken orally or vaginally.

Treatment is usually effective within 24 hours. If your body doesn’t expel all the tissue or placenta, your doctor can perform a procedure called dilation and curettage (D and C). This involves dilating the cervix and removing any remaining tissue. You could also discuss having a D and C with your doctor as first-line treatment, without using medication or letting your body pass the tissue on its own.

Next steps

A pregnancy loss can occur even if you do eliminate risk factors like smoking and drinking. Sometimes, there’s nothing you can do to prevent a miscarriage.

After a miscarriage, you can expect a menstrual cycle within about four to six weeks. After this point, you can conceive again. You can also take precautions against having a miscarriage. These include:
  • taking prenatal vitamins
  • limiting your caffeine intake to 200 milligrams per day
  • managing other medical conditions you may have, such as diabetes or high blood pressure

How to Tell if You’re Having a Miscarriage Without Bleeding

What is a miscarriage?

A miscarriage is also known as pregnancy loss. Up to 25 percent of all clinically diagnosed pregnancies end in miscarriage.


A miscarriage is most likely to occur in the first 13 weeks of pregnancy. Some women may experience miscarriage before they realize they were pregnant. While bleeding is a common symptom associated with miscarriage, there are other symptoms that can occur, too.

What are the most common symptoms of a miscarriage?

Vaginal bleeding and/or spotting are common symptoms of a miscarriage. Some women may mistake a miscarriage for a menstrual period. But it’s not the only sign. Other symptoms of a miscarriage include:
  • back pain
  • diarrhea
  • nausea
  • pelvic cramping (may feel like you’re getting your period)
  • severe abdominal pain
  • fluid coming from your vagina
  • tissue coming from your vagina
  • unexplained weakness
  • the disappearance of other pregnancy symptoms, such as breast soreness or morning sickness.

If you do pass pieces of tissue from your vagina, your doctor will likely advise keeping any pieces in a container. This is so they can be analyzed. When a miscarriage occurs very early, the tissue may look like a small blood clot.

Some women may experience light bleeding or spotting during a normal pregnancy. If you’re uncertain if your bleeding levels are normal, call your doctor.

How does a doctor confirm your miscarriage?

If you’ve had a positive pregnancy test and are concerned that you may have lost your baby, contact your doctor. They will conduct several exams to determine if a miscarriage has occurred.

This includes an ultrasound to determine if your baby is present in the womb and has a heartbeat. Your doctor may also test your hormone levels, such as your human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels. This hormone is commonly associated with pregnancy.

Even if you’re certain you had a miscarriage, it’s important to see your doctor. This is because it’s possible that even if you passed some tissue from your body, some may remain. This can be dangerous for your health.

Your doctor may recommend procedures to remove any fetal or placental tissue. Examples include a dilation and curettage (D and C), which removes any fetal tissues from the uterus. This allows your uterus to heal and ideally prepare itself for another healthy pregnancy.

Not all women who’ve had a miscarriage require a D and C. But if a woman experiences heavy bleeding and/or signs of infection, surgical intervention may be required.

What causes a miscarriage?

For the most part, miscarriages are caused by chromosomal abnormalities. Often, the embryo doesn’t divide and grow properly. This results in fetal abnormalities that keep your pregnancy from progressing. Other factors that could cause a miscarriage include:
  • hormone levels that are too high or low
  • diabetes that isn’t well-controlled
  • exposure to environmental hazards like radiation or toxic chemicals
  • infections
  • a cervix that opens and thins before a baby has had enough time to develop
  • taking medications or illegal drugs known to harm a baby
  • endometriosis
Your doctor may know what caused your miscarriage, but sometimes the miscarriage cause is unknown.

Miscarriage at home or medical facility

If you suspect a miscarriage has happened or believe a miscarriage is about to take place, see your doctor, who may perform an ultrasound or blood test.

These tests might indicate a miscarriage is likely. When this is the case, a woman may choose to miscarry at a medical facility or at home.

Miscarrying at a medical facility like a hospital, surgery center, or clinic, involves a D and C procedure. This involves removing any tissue from the pregnancy. Some women prefer this option instead of awaiting bleeding, cramping, and other potential miscarriage symptoms.

Other women may choose to miscarry at home without undergoing a minor surgical procedure. A doctor can prescribe a medication known as misoprostol (Cytotec), which causes uterine contractions that can contribute to miscarriage. Other women may allow the process to happen naturally.

The decision on how to proceed with a miscarriage is an individual one. A doctor should weigh each option with you.

What’s the recovery period like after miscarriage?

If your doctor does say you’re having a miscarriage, your symptoms may persist for anywhere from one to two weeks. Your doctor may recommend avoiding tampons or engaging in intercourse during this time. This is an infection-prevention measure.

While you can expect some spotting, bleeding, or cramping, there are some symptoms you should call your doctor about immediately. These could indicate a post-miscarriage infection or hemorrhage.

Let your doctor know if you experience:
  • chills
  • soaking more than two pads an hour for two hours or more in a row
  • fever
  • severe pain
Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics or conduct further testing to determine if an infection is taking place. You may also wish to contact your doctor if you’re feeling dizzy or tired. This can indicate anemia.

The takeaway

While the physical recovery period after a miscarriage may take a few weeks, the mental recovery period can be much longer.

You may wish to find a support group, such as Share Pregnancy and Loss Support. Your doctor may also know of pregnancy loss support groups in your area.

Experiencing a miscarriage doesn’t mean that you’ll never get pregnant again. Many women go on to have successful and healthy pregnancies.

If you’ve had multiple miscarriages, your doctor may perform tests to determine if you have medical conditions or abnormalities. These could indicate you have a condition that affects your ability to get pregnant. Talk to your doctor about your concerns.

Pregnancy Loss: Processing the Pain of Miscarriage

Intro

Miscarriage (early pregnancy loss) is an emotional and often traumatic time. In addition to experiencing enormous grief over the loss of your baby, there are physical impacts of a miscarriage — and often relationship impacts, too.

While nothing can erase the loss, there are steps you can take in both the short- and long-term to help you move toward healing and recovery.

The emotional devastation of miscarriage

Initially, the emotional impacts of a miscarriage can be devastating. While every person will process loss differently, the range of emotions can include:
  • grief
  • hopelessness
  • sadness
  • guilt
  • anger
  • jealousy (of other parents)
  • intense feelings of loneliness (especially if there are a lot of parents in your social circle)
Many find it difficult to talk about their loss. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists notes that early pregnancy loss occurs in at least 10 percent of pregnancies. While knowing that many other parents experience miscarriage won’t erase your emotional pain, it may help you feel more comfortable sharing your story and help you manage the loss over the long term.

The physical aftermath of miscarriage

After the initial grief of miscarriage, there’s the physical aftermath to contend with as well. The extent of your body’s repair depends on how far along you were before pregnancy loss. Since miscarriage occurs before 20 weeks of gestation, this can vary greatly.

Some know they’re pregnant as soon as they miss their period. An early miscarriage soon after is often indicated by starting menstruation again. Others may miscarry in the first two months, some without realizing they were pregnant.

Beyond this short time frame, a miscarriage will require medical treatment. Your doctor will likely give you medications either orally or vaginally to help your body pass any remaining tissues. The passage can be painful and extremely emotional.

Your doctor will also need to conduct a follow-up ultrasound to ensure that all tissues have passed to avoid any complications. This process can be devastating. Strongly consider having your partner or other loved one there for support.

Short-term steps

Immediately after miscarriage, you’ll want to take care of yourself while also allowing yourself to grieve. Below are just some of the steps you may want to take:

Allow yourself to express your emotions

Miscarriage is like losing a loved one, which comes with a roller coaster of emotions ranging from sadness to despair. However, unlike other types of deaths, miscarriage can bring about a different type of anger.

You may feel angry about not getting the chance to meet your baby outside of the womb. You may feel angry at the world over other pregnancies that make it to term. It’s important that you express all of your feelings. It’s normal to feel this way and a natural part of the grieving process. Don’t feel ashamed to grieve.

Rely on friends and loved ones for help

As you grieve your miscarriage, you may not be able to stick with your normal schedule. Enlist the help of friends and loved ones to help you with chores, pet care, or family care. You also need them as a sounding board as you express your emotions.

Long-term recovery

Long-term recovery from miscarriage depends greatly on your mental health and overall emotional well-being. While your body will recover from the physical symptoms of miscarriage, it may seem like you’ll never be able to process the loss of your baby.

It’s important to dedicate sufficient time to grieve, but it’s just as important to know when — and how — to move on. This transition often happens during the self-care process, which allows time to heal and nurture your body and mind.

Moving on certainly doesn’t mean forgetting about your pregnancy. Just as you might reach out to others initially after miscarriage, staying active in support groups can have a lasting impact. Someday, your role may be reversed. You’ll support another parent who has experienced a miscarriage.

It’s also important not to rush into getting pregnant within any certain time frame. Your OB-GYN will certainly let you know when you should try again, but being physically ready is much different than being emotionally ready. A future pregnancy won’t replace an early pregnancy loss, so allow yourself the time and space to fully grieve your loss before moving on.
