Recurrent miscarriages can cause mental stress for the husband (wife). Blood clots block blood flow to the placenta was pointed out to be one cause.

Yati Haris, 32, delighted when the doctor declared him a positive pregnancy pregnant. However, women who work as civil servants are also worried. Because, before she had miscarried. He feared the incident would happen to him again. Four months in the womb babies grow up healthy according to age. But entering the womb to the age of five, who feared it happened again.

“At that time I was on my way to the office. At first I did not feel any symptoms. Only the occasional pain in the middle of the abdomen, I think it is natural that the greater the content, “he recalls. But after 30 minutes journey, Yati suddenly felt stomach pain. “Suddenly there was bleeding quite a lot. I had a good cry in the car. Where then jammed the streets again, “he said. The husband then swiftly took the car to the nearest hospital. “But it’s too late, the doctor said that my miscarriage,” said Yati.

Miscarried twice making absurdly sad Yati. In fact she could teach him to get pregnant again. “But Alhamdulillah, in the next pregnancy I was keeping my womb, the child had been born now,” he says.

Not only Yati who has such a bitter experience. Many other women who wind up like her. In medical terms, a miscarriage is known as abortion.

Miscarriage is a failure of continuity of the process of spontaneous pregnancy at an early age or equal to 20 weeks or weighing less than 500 grams.

“About one in six couples who want to have children, one of them will experience a miscarriage,” said an expert gynecologist and Obstetrics, Dr. SpOG Kanadi Sumapraja MSc in a media conference, Jakarta International Gynecology and Obstetrics Meeting (JIGOM) in 2009 with the theme “Improving Quality of Life Women Indonesia “in Prodia Laboratory, Jakarta, recently.

If a miscarriage occurs only once is still reasonable, but what if a miscarriage occurs over and over? Kanadi suggested that recurrent miscarriage was an event that can cause mental stress for couples who crave the presence of a child.

“It was a miscarriage of repeated can lead to feelings of guilt on a woman who experienced it because he regarded himself not able to maintain her pregnancy,” said a doctor who practiced in this RSCM Jakarta.

Kanadi mention, spontaneous miscarriage rate in the population is between 15-20 percent for the entire pregnancy. If only the use of probability alone, the incidence rate is estimated recurrent miscarriage can happen between 0,3-0,4 percent of couples. “But unexpectedly, found the incidence of recurrent miscarriage, slightly higher than that expected to reach up to 1-2 percent of couples,” he said.

While epidemiological data recurrent miscarriage happens, the miscarried three times in a row at the age of pregnancy is less than 24 weeks of 1-2 percent.

“That’s just the range of numbers just because there has never been a miscarriage how certain figures in Indonesia. This is because many of the miscarriage incident occurred outside the hospital as a miscarriage at home and never recorded as the number of deaths, “said the doctor who took the title of a specialist at the University of Indonesia.

A woman can be defined recurrent miscarriage miscarriage when experiencing the event as much as 3 times or more consecutive pregnancies at less than 24 weeks. Kanadi added, in the U.S., UK, and Europe, there are three recommendations that should be known in case of miscarriage, which is to see if there are chromosomal abnormalities, anatomic abnormalities or have blood disorders, such as blood clotting occurs.

Kanadi added, miscarriage can be caused by many things, such as bleeding, stress, and the uterus is weak. One again the most trigger a miscarriage is a blood clot syndrome (antiphospholipid syndrome).

“The occurrence of miscarriage in antiphospholipid syndrome is estimated to result from the thrombosis (clot formation) that will clog the placental blood flow,” he explained.

Can in-desist with Heparin Therapy

“An estimated 7 percent to 25 percent of patients with recurrent miscarriage associated with antiphospholipid syndrome and the existence of trombofilia blood clotting disorders,” said the doctor was born in Jakarta, November 4, 1968.

Kanadi mentioned, the syndrome occurs because if the blood is easy to freeze, it could easily cover the blood vessels. This is what makes a baby difficult to find foods that cause the baby died. Typically for such conditions is used heparin anticoagulant effect.

“Blood Clotting can be prevented by giving heparin (compounds to thin the blood),” said the doctor who took the title of MSc in Human Immunity in the Faculty of Medicine University of Liverpool, England, this.

It turned out that treatment with heparin (blood-thinning compounds) in addition to preventing blood clots, also has the effect of inhibiting the binding of antiphospholipid antibodies. These drugs can also trigger anti-inflammatory effects (anti-inflammatory) and facilitate the process of attachment (implantation) of the placenta in the womb. Therefore, the expected effects of heparin delivery in cases of recurrent miscarriages due to antiphospholipid syndrome is not only due antikoagulannya effect.

“Generally, heparin was given after the patient was detected positive and antiphospholipid syndrome during pregnancy. But the dose given should be appropriate to prevent bleeding in the mother’s own, “the message.

The same is said obstetrician from RSCM, Dr. Dwiyana Octaviani. Familiarly called the doctor who was telling dr Ovi, heparin is more than just an anticoagulant or drugs that can make blood clot, is also important given as soon as possible during pregnancy. “We detected the pregnancy and during pregnancy, pregnant women should be given heparin,” he said at the same event.
