Indian women more prone to miscarriages, finds study -Malathy Iyer

MUMBAI: Indian women seem more likely than other ethnicities to miscarry their first pregnancy or suffer recurrent miscarriages, said a new study published by a city doctor.

The five-city study, which was published in The Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology of India, said 32% of the 2,400-odd participants had suffered spontaneous miscarriage. Miscarriage or spontaneous abortion without medical means to terminate a pregnancy, has so far been presumed to be 10% across the globe.

However, the study's lead author Dr Ameet Patki said the main finding was that recurrent spontaneous miscarriage was as high as 7.46% among Indian women. His paper said globally recurrent pregnancy losses were pegged at 0.8-1.4% of all pregnancies.

"We found the main causes for these repeated miscarriages were genetic, history of infections such as tuberculosis or structural defects in the women's uterus," said Dr Patki.

Dr Rekha Daver, who heads the gynecology department of state government-run JJ Group of Hospitals, said that the study's figures seemed a bit high but highlighted an important issue. "A few decades back, women wouldn't go to the doctor until they spontaneously miscarried three to four times," said Dr Daver. But in an age of nuclear families, every pregnancy is treated as a precious one. "Pregnancies are planned these days. So, if a woman miscarries the first time, she rushes to a doctor for complete analysis," said Dr Daver.
