Introduction
In general, natural abortion may be caused by factors such as age, lifestyle habits, chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo, endocrine disorders, and chlamydia infection. It is important to maintain personal hygiene to prevent infections, eat a balanced diet to regulate endocrine function, and undergo regular physical examinations to detect and address uterine abnormalities promptly. It is recommended to seek medical attention early and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a physician.
In general, natural abortion may be caused by factors such as advanced maternal age, unhealthy lifestyle habits, embryonic chromosomal abnormalities, endocrine disorders, and chlamydia infection. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a physician. Specific analyses are as follows:
1. Advanced Age
As women age, the quality of their eggs gradually declines, increasing the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, which may lead to spontaneous miscarriage. For older pregnant women, assisted reproductive technologies may be considered to improve pregnancy success rates.
2. Unhealthy Lifestyle Habits
Poor lifestyle habits such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can affect embryonic development and increase the risk of natural abortion. It is advisable to modify lifestyle behaviors by quitting smoking, limiting alcohol intake, maintaining a healthy diet, and engaging in moderate physical activity.
3. Embryonic Chromosomal Abnormalities
Chromosomal abnormalities in embryos may result from genetic factors or poor maternal health. These abnormalities prevent normal embryonic development and often lead to spontaneous miscarriage. After a natural abortion, adequate rest should be taken and excessive fatigue avoided.
4. Endocrine Disorders
Unhealthy lifestyles and poor dietary habits may lead to endocrine imbalances, resulting in insufficient progesterone secretion, which makes it difficult to sustain pregnancy and may trigger natural abortion. Symptoms may include shortened menstrual cycles and infertility. It is recommended to take medications such as hydrocortisone tablets, dydrogesterone tablets, and levothyroxine sodium tablets under medical supervision.
5. Chlamydia Infection
Contact with animals during pregnancy may lead to chlamydia infection, causing inflammatory responses that disrupt the microenvironment of the endometrium, impairing embryo implantation and development, ultimately leading to spontaneous abortion. Additional symptoms may include abnormal vaginal discharge and lower abdominal pain. Patients are advised to follow medical instructions to take medications such as azithromycin tablets, metronidazole tablets, and penicillin V potassium tablets to relieve symptoms.
In daily life, individuals should maintain good personal hygiene to prevent infections, eat a balanced diet to regulate endocrine function, and undergo regular health check-ups to promptly detect and address uterine abnormalities.
