Habitual abortion refers to the occurrence of three or more consecutive miscarriages after 12 weeks of pregnancy, and the repeated miscarriages often occur in the same month. It is often related to uterine malformation, cervical dysplasia, blood type incompatibility, and maternal diseases.
Light vaginal bleeding
Women with a history of habitual abortion may experience early pregnancy symptoms similar to those of general miscarriage, and their vaginal bleeding may last for several days or even weeks, but the amount of blood is generally less. If the bleeding continues to increase, the possibility of miscarriage is high and measures should be taken promptly.
Lower abdominal pain
Women with a history of habitual abortion should pay attention if they experience mild lower abdominal pain in early pregnancy. This is a sign of impending miscarriage, especially if accompanied by light vaginal bleeding. Immediate measures should be taken to protect the pregnancy.
Expulsion of pregnancy tissue
When a woman passes out a part of the pregnancy tissue from the uterus, it is called an incomplete abortion, as some of the pregnancy tissue remains in the uterus. If all of the pregnancy tissue in the uterus is expelled, it is called a complete abortion. After a miscarriage, especially an incomplete abortion, women should promptly go to the hospital for appropriate uterine cleaning to avoid infection caused by retained pregnancy tissue.
