Miscarriage or Period: What Are the Causes?
A miscarriage can occur for a variety of reasons, the cause of which is frequently unknown.
Miscarriages that take place during the first trimester of pregnancy are normally caused by issues with the unborn baby. Approximately three out of every four miscarriages occur during this time.
If it occurs after the first trimester of pregnancy, it could be due to a number of other factors, including the mother’s underlying health condition. It may also be because of an infection surrounding the baby, which causes the amniotic sac to rupture before any pain or bleeding occurs. This is often caused by the womb’s neck opening too soon.
A period is caused by the body’s natural hormones. Hormones like estrogen and progesterone function as chemical messengers that are released by the ovaries. The uterine lining thickens as a result of these hormones, making the lining ready for a fertilized egg to attach to and develop. If there is no fertilized egg present, the lining then breaks down and is released through bleeding. And the whole process starts over again.
It usually takes about a month for the lining to form and then degrade. As a result, most girls normally get their periods only once a month.
