Miscarriage: symptoms and which specialist to see

Miscarriage

Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy

Miscarriage is the natural loss of a pregnancy before the fetus can survive outside the uterus, generally in the early stages of gestation.

How it shows up: It may be accompanied by vaginal bleeding, pain, or cramping in the lower abdomen, although each situation is different.

Common causes: It is often related to factors inherent to the development of the pregnancy, and in many cases it does not respond to any behavior of the pregnant person.

When to see a doctor? In the face of bleeding or pain during pregnancy, it is advisable to seek timely evaluation. The gynecologist is the one who evaluates and supports these situations, both physically and emotionally; consulting them allows you to receive appropriate guidance.
