Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

-



Having a miscarriage can be a wrenching experience for the couple that is looking forward to building their family. Miscarriage is not uncommon. In fact, about 15-20% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. These usually happen within the first trimester of the pregnancy. Having a miscarriage is not indicative of future infertility.

In more than half the cases after one or even two miscarriages, the couple will have an unassisted live birth. Some are not as fortunate. Multiple, recurrent miscarriages can create a great sense of loss. Recurrent pregnancy loss occurs when two or more clinical pregnancies are lost. A clinical pregnancy is one that has been documented by ultrasound or a pathologic diagnosis.

Women who have had a history of two or more pregnancy losses have about a 40% risk of experiencing another miscarriage. Only about 1% of women who get pregnant experience recurrent pregnancy loss. Seeking medical attention to identify the cause is important.

Male Fertility And Anabolic Steroids

Male infertility can be a very sensitive and difficult issue for many men to accept. It can come as a big surprise that they may be creating the problem by taking certain supplements – especially (anabolic) steroids. Steroids that are used to enhance strength and fitness can actually drastically lower a sperm count (to zero in many cases). These types of steroids can do damage to male fertility. The drugs interfere with the hormone signals required to produce sperm. The amount of damage depends on which drugs are being used, the dosage and how often they are taken. Anabolic steroids can be found in some fitness and muscle-building dietary supplements from unreputable companies. Excessive amounts of anabolic steroids may help you achieve a more muscle-bound physique; however, at the same time, it can also lower your sperm count considerably.

Its shape can vary significantly among individuals, and abnormalities in uterine shape can have a significant impact on a woman's ability to conceive. Uterine Shape Abnormalities: Bicornuate Uterus:  This condition is characterized by a heart-shaped uterus, where the organ is divided into two sections. It can reduce the space available for an embryo to implant, increasing the risk of miscarriage.

Unicornuate Uterus: ...
