Can I still get pregnant normally after a missed abortion?

It is usually possible to get pregnant normally after a missed abortion, but the specific situation depends on the individual's physical condition, cause of the disease, and recovery. Through comprehensive postoperative care, targeted treatment of the cause of the disease, and scientific preparation for pregnancy, the success rate of getting pregnant again can be greatly improved.

1) Possible causes of missed abortion

Missed abortion refers to a situation where the fetus stops developing or the embryo develops abnormally and fails to flow out naturally in time.

-Genetic factors: Chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo are the most common cause and account for the majority of missed miscarriages. This is usually accidental and not a genetic disease.

-Environmental and lifestyle factors: Long-term exposure to toxic substances, smoking, alcoholism, excessive stress, etc. may also lead to abnormal fetal development.

- Physiological factors: such as uterine abnormalities (uterine malformation, thin endometrium), endocrine disorders (luteal insufficiency, hyperprolactinemia, etc.), which can affect the normal implantation and development of the embryo.

-Pathological factors: For example, untreated reproductive tract infections (such as mycoplasma and chlamydia infections) and immune system abnormalities (such as antiphospholipid syndrome) may induce missed abortion.

It is recommended to conduct a comprehensive genetic and health screening before preparing for pregnancy, and try to avoid adverse environmental factors.

2) How to avoid missed abortion?

It is very important to take targeted measures against the causes of missed abortion.

-Medical treatment: If there is an endocrine disorder, progesterone therapy can be used under the guidance of a doctor to promote progesterone secretion; if it is due to immune abnormalities such as antiphospholipid syndrome, low-dose aspirin or low-molecular-weight heparin can be used to improve blood circulation and avoid thrombosis.

- Postoperative care: After a missed abortion, you usually need to wait 3-6 months before trying to get pregnant. You can check the recovery of the uterus regularly (B-ultrasound) 1-2 months after the operation. If there is a risk of adhesion in the uterus after the abortion, you can choose to have a hysteroscopy and treat it.

- Improve your lifestyle habits: Pay attention to supplementing vitamin E and iron in your diet and balance your nutrition; stay away from tobacco, alcohol and highly polluted environments, and get enough sleep and moderate exercise (such as walking and yoga). These can help the body recover to a good state and increase the possibility of pregnancy again.

3) Scientific methods of preparing for pregnancy

Preparing for pregnancy should be done on the premise that the body has recovered well. The following methods can be used to increase the pregnancy rate and reduce the risk of miscarriage:

- Pre-pregnancy check-up: Both husband and wife undergo a comprehensive physical examination to screen for common genetic diseases, sources of infection, and check for organic lesions; women can check the function of the uterus and ovaries, and men can measure the semen quality.

- Ovulation monitoring and sexual intercourse timing arrangement: Locking in the fertile period through basal body temperature monitoring or ovulation test strips, and scientifically arranging the time of sexual intercourse can increase the success rate of pregnancy.

-Folic acid supplementation: 0.4 mg of folic acid supplementation per day can effectively prevent fetal neural tube defects.

After a missed abortion, most people can successfully conceive again after treatment and recuperation, but remember to complete the pregnancy preparation plan under the guidance of a doctor. If you encounter abnormal conditions such as fetal arrest again, be sure to seek medical attention in time to clarify the cause. With the support of scientific recuperation and active treatment, the probability of successful pregnancy next time is very high.
