Repeated miscarriages alert to immune system disorders

  The reason for the repeated “loss of children” may be the immune system error female white-collar five miscarriages and two stillbirths in ten years repeated miscarriages and stillbirths make them physically and mentally exhausted, but a variety of routine tests can not find the cause, a hospital recently found that about 10% of habitual miscarriages and stillbirths is the immune system error.  The 37-year-old Ms. Chen has a successful career, her only regret is that she can not keep the child. Every time she was pregnant for more than 50 days, she would inexplicably miscarry, and she had five recurrent miscarriages in 10 years. In two other cases, she was already four or five months pregnant, but the doctor said the fetus had died in the womb. In order to conceive a child, she went to almost all hospitals, but no problems were found in the tests.  Nine months ago, Ms. Chen found herself pregnant again, and she found a hospital obstetrics and gynecology department. After hearing about her repeated miscarriages and stillbirths, the doctor recommended that she first visit the rheumatology and immunology department. After the immunological examination, it was found that the “real culprit” of the miscarriage was “antiphospholipid antibody syndrome”. After immunotherapy, Ms. Chen gave birth to a 6-pound baby boy three days ago.  The hospital’s rheumatologist said that antiphospholipid antibody syndrome is an autoimmune disease, about 10% of recurrent miscarriages and stillbirths are related to it, and outpatient clinics have found that there is a significant increase in such diseases. The endothelium of blood vessels is made up of phospholipids, and if antiphospholipid antibodies are present in the body, they will bind to the phospholipids in the walls of blood vessels, destroying the endothelium and forming blood clots. Women with such antibodies during pregnancy can form microthrombi in the blood vessels supplying the placenta with nutrients around 10 weeks of pregnancy, and miscarriage or stillbirth can occur after placental infarction.  He warned that if you have more than two miscarriages in the first three months of pregnancy and one stillbirth in the fifth month of pregnancy, you should be alert to the possibility of this disease and go to the hospital for timely screening and treatment.
