Miscarriage is more common than it is talked about. Some people even have to deal with this heavy loss several times.
There is news that gives hope for the future. Scientists have discovered a factor that likely influences multiple miscarriages.
When a woman has insufficient stem cells in the endometrium, the risk of miscarriage is high. Stem cells are needed to renew the mucosa. If there are too few stem cells, the endometrium ages and that can lead to a miscarriage. If the number of stem cells remains too low, there is a risk of miscarriage in the next pregnancy.
The discovery is a major breakthrough. One of the authors predicts that in the future it will be possible to help women with too few stem cells in the endometrium by strengthening the stem cells.
