Pregnancy loss is one of the most painful and challenging experiences a person can go through. While science has advanced significantly, there are still situations in which couples face this difficult trial. At Ingenes, we understand that each story is unique, and every woman who has suffered a loss wants to find answers and the possibility of moving forward with hope.
In this article, we explain the four most common causes of pregnancy loss and how, with the right support and treatment, Ingenes can offer real solutions to help you achieve your dream of having a baby.
1. Chromosomal Abnormalities: The Most Frequent Cause
Chromosomal abnormalities, when an embryo receives the wrong number of chromosomes, are responsible for about 50% of early pregnancy losses. These errors are mostly random and occur when the egg and sperm combine abnormally.
What Are Chromosomal Abnormalities?
Chromosomal abnormalities occur when the embryo has an incorrect number of chromosomes, preventing it from developing properly. Some of the most common conditions, such as Down syndrome, can occur due to chromosome duplication.
How Can Ingenes Help?
At Ingenes, we use advanced technology to diagnose and prevent chromosomal abnormalities. Through Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A), we evaluate the genetic quality of embryos before transfer, ensuring that the healthiest embryos are selected, thereby increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy.
This process not only improves success rates but also reduces the risk of spontaneous losses and genetic problems in babies. This advanced technology is carried out in our own laboratories, supervised by a specialized genetic team.
2. Hormonal Issues: The Impact of Hormonal Imbalance
Hormonal imbalance can significantly affect pregnancy, particularly progesterone, which is the key hormone for maintaining implantation and embryo development. If progesterone levels are low or there is dysfunction in other reproductive hormones, implantation can be hindered or even lead to a loss.
What Causes Hormonal Imbalances?
Hormonal imbalances can be caused by various factors, such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), thyroid problems, stress, or dysfunction in the endocrine glands. These imbalances affect both fertility and the body’s ability to maintain a healthy pregnancy.
How Can Ingenes Help?
At Ingenes, we thoroughly assess each patient’s hormonal profile through specialized tests that allow us to determine if there are imbalances. If we detect hormonal problems, such as progesterone deficiency, we offer personalized treatments, such as hormonal supplementation, to ensure the body is prepared for pregnancy.
Additionally, the treatment is accompanied by constant monitoring to optimally adjust hormonal levels, which can increase the chances of a successful pregnancy and reduce the risk of loss.
3. Uterine Anomalies: Structural Problems
Uterine anomalies, such as fibroids, polyps, or malformations in the uterine cavity, can hinder embryo implantation or cause pregnancy losses. These anomalies can be present from birth or develop due to infections, previous surgeries, or medical conditions such as endometriosis.
What Are Uterine Anomalies?
Uterine anomalies are structural defects in the uterus that may prevent the embryo from implanting properly or cause the pregnancy to develop abnormally. Fibroids, for example, are benign tumors that can interfere with the uterine cavity, while polyps can cause obstruction. The shape and size of the uterus also influence the ability to maintain a pregnancy.
How Can Ingenes Help?
At Ingenes, we perform a comprehensive diagnosis through advanced ultrasounds and procedures like Hysterosalpingography (HSG) to identify any uterine anomalies that may be affecting fertility.
Our integrated approach ensures that any structural anomaly identified is treated effectively, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy.
4. Immune Disorders: The Immune System Attacks
In some cases, the immune system may attack the embryo or uterine tissues, interfering with implantation and pregnancy development. Disorders like antiphospholipid syndrome or autoimmune diseases may be responsible for recurrent miscarriages or implantation failure.
What Are Reproductive Immune Disorders?
Reproductive immune disorders occur when the body produces antibodies that attack the embryo or the cells of the uterus, making implantation difficult or causing pregnancy loss. Women with autoimmune diseases, such as lupus, or blood clotting issues, such as antiphospholipid syndrome, are at a higher risk of recurrent losses.
How Can Ingenes Help?
At Ingenes, we conduct an exhaustive analysis to detect immune disorders through blood tests and antibody analysis.
Our goal is to provide you with a personalized treatment plan, integrating science, technology, and constant support to maximize your chances of success.
