What is Recurrent Miscarriage?

Recurrent miscarriage, also known as recurrent pregnancy loss, occurs when a woman has three or more consecutive, spontaneous miscarriages. This condition, which affects 1-2% of women, can be devastating and often leads to infertility after miscarriage.

​

The causes of recurrent miscarriage are complex and can range from autoimmune disorders to uterine abnormalities. However, the frustrating reality is that nearly half of the couples experiencing recurrent miscarriages do not have an identifiable cause.

Potential Causes Several factors can contribute to recurrent miscarriages:

  • Genetic Issues: Abnormalities in chromosomes can lead to non-viable embryos.

  • Uterine Abnormalities: Conditions such as polyps, fibroids, or an abnormally shaped uterus can interfere with implantation.

  • Endometrial Health: The health of the lining of the uterus is crucial for embryo implantation. Issues here can prevent a pregnancy from progressing.

  • Immune System Disorders: Overactivity or dysfunction in immune cells in the uterus may lead to rejection of the embryo.

  • Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions affecting hormone levels, like thyroid disorders or PCOS, can affect pregnancy viability.

Diagnostic Approach

Our clinic adopts a two-tiered approach to diagnose and address recurrent miscarriages:

  1. Basic Assessment: This includes hormonal evaluations and ultrasound scans to identify any anatomical or endocrine issues.

  1. Advanced Testing: This involves more detailed genetic testing, such as karyotyping and sperm DNA fragmentation,

  2. Treatment Strategies Depending on the identified causes, treatment options may include:

  • Genetic Counseling and IVF: Utilizing IVF with preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A) to select embryos without genetic defects.

  • Surgical Interventions: To correct anatomical defects within the uterus.

  • Hormonal Treatments: To address any hormonal imbalances that could be affecting fertility.

  • Immunotherapy: For issues related to the immune system's interaction with pregnancy.
