Pregnancy loss is a common concern I see in practice. And there are a number of factors that a Naturopathic Doctor will want to consider when working with individuals who are struggling with recurring pregnancy loss.
I recently wrote an article detailing such factors for the Naturopathic Currents. Click here to read the article.
This article discusses the following:
Progesterone deficiency
Thyroid dysfunction
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
Blood sugar dysregulation (Type II Diabetes, insulin resistance)
Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Celiac Disease
Elevated prolactin
Endometriosis
Infectious causes
Smoking
Weight
Substances: alcohol, cannabis, cocaine and caffeine
Exercise
Shift work (circadian rhythm)
If you or someone you love is dealing with recurring pregnancy loss, consider adding a Naturopathic Doctor to the healthcare team. Naturopathic medicine can provide significant insight and support to those who are dealing with pregnancy loss.
