Early Pregnancy

Early pregnancy loss, also known as miscarriage, is the loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week. It is a common occurrence, affecting up to 25% of all pregnancies. The symptoms of early pregnancy loss include vaginal bleeding or spotting, cramping, and the passing of tissue or clots.

If you suspect that you may be experiencing a miscarriage, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Your doctor will perform a physical examination and may also order tests such as a pelvic ultrasound or blood tests to confirm the diagnosis.

Common treatment methods for early pregnancy loss include allowing the miscarriage to happen naturally, or in some cases, a procedure called a dilation and curettage (D&C) may be performed to remove any remaining tissue from the uterus.

To prevent early pregnancy loss from occurring, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This includes eating a balanced diet, getting regular exercise, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. Annual health check-ups and corporate health & wellness programs can help to identify and address any potential health risks.
