Obstetrician advises medical testing before pregnancy after miscarriage

Obstetrician Dr. Sami Güngör of Medilines Hospital in Elazığ has advised women not to immediately plan a second or third pregnancy following a miscarriage. He emphasizes the importance of consulting a specialist to undergo necessary medical examinations first to ensure a healthier future pregnancy.

Dr. Güngör noted that recurrent miscarriages can be traumatic. He recommends identifying underlying causes such as genetic issues, clotting problems, or medical and surgical complications before attempting to conceive again. Recommended tests for women who have experienced a miscarriage include liver and kidney function tests, vitamin levels, hepatitis markers, coagulation panels, and examinations of the uterus and tubes.
