Many women with a certain sexual activity and waiting for a descendant can find themselves with a biochemical pregnancy. It has hardly managed to manage all chemical processes of a pregnancy, when there is sudden bleeding with a possible abortion. It is the so-called phenomenon biochemical pregnancy where we will discuss how their symptoms, diagnosis and causes are.
A biochemical pregnancy does not usually offer many symptoms to have such a consequence. Even when it happens, if the woman was unaware that she was pregnant He does not come to know that such an event has happened. Yes, there are a series of events that can offer some clues and that we detail below.
Symptoms of a micro or biochemical abortion
Biochemical pregnancy occurs with an abortion or gestational loss. The woman has bleeding and may mistake it for menstruation. When it happens, it is difficult to detect if it has occurred due to an abortion, unless the woman already knew about it through a pregnancy test.
When such a test has been carried out and it has given a positive result, it is because the amount of beta-hCG are positive, but when after the bleeding and with another test, the result becomes negative, since these levels have dropped drastically. The symptoms that a woman with a microabortion can present are usually:
- Un Bleeding vaginal very bright red.
- Abdominal pain similar to the rule, can be accompanied by colic and strong pain.
- small contractions and pain kidneys or back.
- Clot expulsion.
Why does biochemical pregnancy occur?
Biochemical pregnancy is difficult to predict. Such an abortion has occurred and so quickly that there has not been time to discover such a pregnancy with any ultrasound. Even embryonic remains are expelled along with bleeding and they are not analyzed. Explanations for such a fact can occur:
- An embryo that has not reached such an end because there have been genetic changes after her fertilization.
- By genetic problems by the egg or sperm.
- If the egg or spermatozoon are not of good quality, it may be a consequence of an unhealthy life of one of the parents, such as alcohol, smoking, stress, etc.
- Una egg implantation outside the uterus.
- By hormonal problems or by some type of infection, such as chlamydia or syphilis.
- An advanced age of the mother, since from the age of 35 the risk of suffering a biochemical pregnancy begins.
Biochemical pregnancy with in vitro fertilization
Another cause may be in vitro fertilization (IVF), since such a process is risky and can have its consequences. This procedure consists of extracting the ovaries and fertilize them with sperm. When said union has taken place, the fertilized egg is transferred to the uterus.
After about 14 days it can be analyzed if there is such implantation with a blood test, if such a pregnancy is not detected it is possible that a biochemical pregnancy has occurred.
What happens after a biochemical pregnancy?
A punctual biochemical pregnancy is not an alarm sign and for this there will be no special treatment. However, when there are numerous abortions in a row, it is possible that the doctor determines that tests must be carried out to be able to get closer to the causes that cause it. If the cause is due to some type of infection, antibiotics will be administered to heal the part that causes it.
After an abortion there may be questions about whether a woman's fertility will continue and how long she can wait before she can try again. A biochemical pregnancy does not decrease the chances of trying again, so it can be perfectly conceived. The specialist will always recommend leading a healthy life, exercising regularly, eating healthy and keeping any stress situation at bay.
