Recurrent Miscarriage

Experiencing multiple miscarriages can be both emotionally and physically challenging.

What is Recurrent Miscarriage?

Recurrent miscarriage, also known as recurrent pregnancy loss, is typically defined as two or more consecutive pregnancy losses before 20 weeks’ gestation. While miscarriage is more common than many realise, recurrent miscarriage may point to underlying health concerns that require specialised care.

What Causes Recurrent Miscarriage?

Recurrent pregnancy loss can be caused by several factors.

Genetic Factors

Chromosomal abnormalities in either parent or the foetus.

Anatomical Issues

Uterine abnormalities such as fibroids or septum.

Hormonal Imbalances

Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid disorders.

Immune System Disorders

Issues such as antiphospholipid syndrome or lupus.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Conditions like thrombophilia that affect blood flow to the placenta.

Lifestyle Factors

Smoking, alcohol consumption, or excessive weight can also play a role.

Every patient’s journey to parenthood is unique, and so is our diagnostic approach. This may include a comprehensive review of your medical and pregnancy history, blood tests to identify hormonal or autoimmune concerns, ultrasound imaging to assess uterine structure, and, if needed, genetic testing for both partners to rule out chromosomal issues.

Treatment Options for Recurrent Miscarriage

Once a diagnosis is made, we develop a personalised treatment plan designed to address your specific circumstances, ensuring the best possible support and care at every step of your journey.

Lifestyle Modifications

Guidance on maintaining a healthy weight, diet, and habits for optimal fertility.

Medical Treatments

Medications to manage hormonal or autoimmune disorders, or blood-thinning treatments for clotting disorders.

Surgical Interventions

Corrective surgeries for uterine abnormalities, if required.

Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)

Options such as IVF with genetic screening may be recommended for certain cases.
