Miscarriage Management Clinic in Islamabad and Rawalpindi | Dr. Sajida Guftaar
Compassionate care to support your healing and guide your next steps.
Pregnancy loss is one of the most emotionally difficult experiences a woman and her family can go through. Whether it happens very early or later in pregnancy, miscarriage often leaves women confused, frightened, and full of unanswered questions.
At South East Hospital PWD Islamabad, Dr. Sajida Guftaar offers miscarriage management by providing careful, ethical, and medically appropriate care for women experiencing miscarriage or pregnancy complications.
It is important to clarify that we do not provide elective abortions. Any termination of pregnancy is considered only on genuine medical grounds, where continuing the pregnancy poses a serious risk to the mother’s health or where the pregnancy is medically non-viable. Every case is handled with responsibility, confidentiality, and respect for both medical ethics and patient well-being.
Our focus is always on patient safety, emotional support, and proper medical guidance during a very sensitive time.
Understanding Miscarriage
A miscarriage refers to the natural loss of a pregnancy, usually during the first trimester. Many women blame themselves, but in most cases, miscarriage happens due to reasons beyond anyone’s control.
Miscarriage is more common than people realize. Many pregnancies end before a woman even knows she is pregnant. When it does happen, proper medical care is essential to prevent complications and to support physical and emotional recovery.
Common Types of Miscarriage
- Threatened miscarriage:bleeding in early pregnancy while the baby may still be viable
- Incomplete miscarriage:some pregnancy tissue remains inside the uterus
- Complete miscarriage:all pregnancy tissue has passed naturally
- Missed miscarriage:pregnancy has stopped developing but tissue remains inside
- Recurrent miscarriage:two or more consecutive pregnancy losses
Each type requires a different approach, which is why proper diagnosis is crucial.
What Causes Miscarriage?
In many cases, miscarriage is caused by chromosomal abnormalities that prevent the baby from developing normally. This does not mean there is anything wrong with the mother.
Other possible causes include:
- Hormonal imbalance
- Thyroid disorders
- Poorly controlled diabetes
- Severe infections
- Uterine abnormalities
- Severe anemia
- High blood pressure
- Advanced maternal age
- Blood clotting disorders
Understanding the cause helps guide future pregnancy planning and reduces the risk of recurrence.
Symptoms That Require Immediate Medical Attention
You should seek medical care urgently if you experience:
- Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy
- Severe lower abdominal pain or cramps
- Passing clots or tissue
- Fever with bleeding
- Foul-smelling vaginal discharge
- Sudden loss of pregnancy symptoms
The management of threatened miscarriage often includes ultrasound monitoring and hormonal support to protect the pregnancy whenever possible. Early medical evaluation can sometimes save the pregnancy or prevent serious complications.
How Miscarriage Is Diagnosed
Proper diagnosis ensures safe and appropriate management.
Clinical Assessment
A detailed medical history and physical examination are performed to understand symptoms and pregnancy timeline.
Ultrasound Examination
Ultrasound confirms whether the pregnancy is viable and whether any tissue remains inside the uterus.
Blood Tests
Hormone levels and blood counts help assess pregnancy status and overall health.
Diagnosis is always explained clearly to the patient, allowing informed decision-making.
Miscarriage Management Options
Management depends on gestational age, type of miscarriage, and the woman’s overall health. Not every case requires surgical intervention.
Expectant Management of Miscarriage (Natural Process)
In some cases, the body completes the miscarriage naturally without intervention. This option is chosen only when it is medically safe.
Medical Management
Medicines may be used to help the uterus expel remaining tissue safely. This approach avoids surgery when appropriate.
Surgical Management (When Necessary)
Procedures are recommended only if there is heavy bleeding, infection, or retained tissue that could harm the patient.
Every option is discussed in detail before proceeding.
