Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Recurrent Miscarriage
A woman with PCOS has an increased risk of miscarriage compared to other women. The miscarriage rate is significantly high, reaching 30–50% in the first trimester, and there is also a high rate of early and recurrent miscarriage, ranging from 36–82%. Recurrent miscarriage means you have lost two or more pregnancies with the same partner.
Among the risk factors are:
Recurrent miscarriage due to abnormal chromosomes, which accounts for up to 60.6%.
Maternal age, the ovarian stimulation protocol used, the quality and regularity of menstrual cycles, obesity, and the presence of other diseases such as high blood pressure, which often accompany this syndrome — all of these affect miscarriage rates.
You can prevent or reduce the risk of miscarriage and other symptoms associated with PCOS by achieving a healthy weight before pregnancy.
Reaching appropriate blood sugar levels before pregnancy can be achieved by changing unhealthy eating habits and engaging in regular physical activity. This will help you lose weight. Also, taking medications and the amount of folic acid prescribed by your doctor is essential.
If you have PCOS, your doctor is truly your best ally.
