Emotional & Physical Stress Causing Miscarriage
Can stress affect your pregnancy?
Although it can be hard to quantify, there is a well-documented relationship
between stress and medical problems, including complications with the
immune system. When the body detects stress, a chain reaction begins regarding
the immune system, which can ultimately lead to immune rejection. This
can result in miscarriages as the body refuses to support an embryo even
after successful conception. It is therefore vital that any factors causing
significant stress in your life be monitored and adjusted as much as possible
to reduce the effect of this factor. This should be done if no other physical
causes of miscarriage can be found but should also be done concurrent with any other
treatments where other issues have been identified as this will support that treatment
and may enhance its results.
Reproductive Immunology Helping Prevent Pregnancy Loss
While we can direct patients to consider this area of their lives, we also
take pride in the atmosphere we create for patients while undergoing treatment
with our team. We would hope patients report a much less stressful experience
at our clinic than they usually experience while being treated at other
medical facilities. Each of us understand the emotions involved in such
an intimate and potentially life-changing process and feel strongly about
supporting you through this journey. You will never be seen as just another
case and we will happily take the time to answer your questions and help
you in whatever way we can. Dr. Braverman and the team at our clinic have
all been working with
Reproductive Immunology for at least 20 years. This level of dedication is due to our sincere
desire to help families achieve their dreams for more children and we
take great joy from seeing this occur for those with whom we are working.
