A miscarriage is a spontaneous event that results in the loss of a fetus before 20 weeks of pregnancy. A miscarriage is also known as spontaneous abortion. Miscarriage usually happens during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Medical reports suggest that about 10 to 15 (10-15 cases out of 100) percent of pregnancies end in miscarriage.
NIH reports the prevalence of miscarriage in Indian women as high as 32%. While the fetus expels by itself in a miscarriage, an ultrasound test and follow-up treatment is essential to ensure complete expulsion. Otherwise, incomplete miscarriage risks severe infections, consecutive miscarriages, permanent infertility, and life-threatening complications to the health of the mother.
Miscarriage - Diagnosis and Treatment
Before determining the line of treatment, the gynecologist or OB-GYN might have to run a couple of diagnostic tests for miscarriage. Some of them include:
Once the pregnancy loss is confirmed through any of the above-mentioned diagnostic tests, the doctor recommends a Dilation & Curettage (D&C) procedure to clean and expel the pregnancy tissues.
D&C procedure is performed under the influence of general anesthesia. During a D&C, the gynecologist dilates the cervix of the patient and removes the fetal tissues from inside the uterus. During the procedure, a spoon-shaped device (known as a curette) is used to scrape the uterine wall lining gently.

Several risk factors can increase your chances of suffering a miscarriage. Some of them are:
Recurrent miscarriage is defined as the loss of two or more pregnancies. After two consecutive miscarriages, it is essential to undergo a thorough pelvic exam and take the necessary tests.
Treatments for recurrent miscarriages include medication, lifestyle changes, and timely genetic testing. Even after having 2-3 consecutive miscarriages, a woman has a fair chance (60-80 percent). It is essential to consult a gynecologist near you to reduce the risk of another miscarriage.
A missed miscarriage is when the fetus has died in the womb, but the mother hasn’t had any symptoms, such as bleeding or pain.
Several benefits of D&C make the procedure weigh above any other treatment after miscarriage. D&C is a single, scheduled event that is not drawn for days. The process is performed under anesthesia and hence involves just mild cramps and no severe pain. Additionally, the chances of preeclampsia, placental abruption, malpresentation, or risk of future miscarriages are significantly lower in D&C.
Most women are discharged within a few hours after the D&C procedure. In case the gynecologist identifies any complications, she may be asked to stay overnight at the hospital.
A woman may experience mild cramping for the next few days after the procedure. However, the cramping should not last for more than 24 hours.
It is normal for light cramping and bleeding to occur for the next few days up to 2 weeks after a D&C procedure. After that, the doctor may suggest painkillers or Ibuprofen to treat the cramps associated with miscarriage treatment.
It is advisable not to insert anything into the vagina after the treatment. Do not douch or have sexual intercourse without consulting your doctor. If you want to resume intercourse, have a word with the gynecologist before doing so.
Your gynecologist is likely to give you the necessary self-care instructions on what to expect after a D&C. Ideally, the procedure is safe and does not require follow ups. But, in case you experience any of the following symptoms, get in touch with our healthcare provider immediately.
Miscarriages cannot always be prevented. There is no medically reliable measure that can be taken to prevent miscarriages caused by genetic abnormalities. But, there are ways that can help a woman maintain a healthy pregnancy.
Schedule a preconception consultation – If you are planning to get pregnant, it is always advisable to start with expert advice and consultation from day one. Seek help and guidance from an experienced gynecologist or obstetrician. Tell about your medical history, your lifestyle, and any other health issues that you might have. Though skipping a preconception consultation will not increase the odds of suffering a miscarriage, having expert guidance can definitely increase your chances of having a healthy pregnancy.
Avoid drugs, alcohol, and smoking – According to a study published by NCBI, the risk of miscarriage increases with smoking. The risk increases by 1 percent every day the woman smokes. Secondhand smoke exposure during pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage by 11%. If a woman is planning to get pregnant, she should eliminate alcohol, smoking, and other recreational drugs.
