Miscarriage: When to Seek Medical Attention & Support

Yes, you should see a healthcare professional if you think you have had a miscarriage.

Here are some reasons why

- To confirm the miscarriage:

A healthcare provider can confirm whether or not you have truly experienced a miscarriage.

- To receive medical care.

Depending on the stage of the pregnancy and your individual circumstances, you may need medical treatment to manage the miscarriage, such as medication or surgery.

- To receive emotional support.

A miscarriage is a difficult and emotional experience, and it is important to receive support from a healthcare provider or therapist to help you cope with the loss.

- To rule out other medical conditions:

Sometimes, symptoms that may seem like a miscarriage can actually be caused by other medical conditions, such as an ectopic pregnancy (where the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus) or a hormonal imbalance.
