Best Miscarriage Doctors in Lucknow

Types/Stages of Miscarriage

Miscarriages are not uniform and can be classified in several ways based on timing and characteristics:

• Inevitable miscarriage: The presence of cramping, bleeding, and cervical dilation indicates that a miscarriage is inevitable.

• Complete Miscarriage: The entire fetus gets expelled from the uterus.

• Incomplete Miscarriage: A portion of the fetus remains within the uterus after expulsion.

• Recurrent Miscarriage: The termination of two or more consecutive pregnancies.

• Threatened miscarriage: Bleeding and cramps point to a possible upcoming miscarriage.

Symptoms of Miscarriage

The signs of a miscarriage can vary greatly but commonly comprise:

• Heavy bleeding or spotting

• Severe abdominal cramps

• Passage of tissue or clots from the vagina

• Intense pelvic pain

Tests to Diagnose Miscarriage

Specialists in miscarriage care rely on various tests to confirm the diagnosis.

• Pelvic Examination: Includes a pelvic exam to check if your cervix has opened.

• Ultrasound Scan: To check for a heartbeat and examine the uterus.

• Blood Tests: To measure hormone (hCG) levels indicative of pregnancy.

• Chromosome Tests: Parents may undergo blood tests to determine if chromosome factors caused the miscarriage.
