What is the treatment for threatened miscarriage
If the diagnosis indicates threatened miscarriage, immediate medical intervention and adherence to the doctor's instructions may greatly contribute to completing the pregnancy and avoiding miscarriage.
The doctor may recommend the following instructions:
Rest, bed rest helps reduce the risk of miscarriage, and any type of physical activity, including sexual intercourse, should be avoided.
In the case of diabetes or complications related to the thyroid gland, the doctor will prescribe appropriate medications to treat them, and they must be adhered to and their specific doses to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
If the mother's blood type is negative, while the fetus's Rh factor is positive, the mother's body begins to form antibodies to the fetus's blood. In such cases, the doctor recommends giving Rh immune globulin to keep the condition under control.
If tests reveal low levels of pregnancy hormones, the doctor recommends progesterone in the form of oral capsules, vaginal suppositories, or injections.
The doctor may prescribe medications that help blood clotting to stop bleeding.
The doctor will prescribe safe painkillers such as acetaminophen (paracetamol) to relieve uterine contractions and lower back pain, and aspirin should not be taken as it may increase the severity of bleeding.
In most cases, treatment for threatened miscarriage may help the pregnancy continue, however, some mothers may suffer complications, and miscarriage occurs even with adherence to instructions.
