What is Recurrent Miscarriage?

Recurrent miscarriage, also known as recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), is typically defined as the loss of two or more consecutive pregnancies before 20 weeks of gestation. It affects about 1–2% of couples who are trying to conceive and can be emotionally and physically challenging for those experiencing it.

There are many possible causes of recurrent miscarriage. Common factors include chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo, hormonal imbalances, uterine structural issues (such as fibroids or uterine septum), immune system disorders, blood clotting conditions, and certain lifestyle or metabolic factors. In some cases, however, no clear cause can be identified even after thorough medical evaluation.

A comprehensive assessment may include reviewing medical history, hormone testing, genetic screening, and imaging studies to evaluate the uterus. Identifying the underlying cause can help guide treatment strategies and improve the chances of a successful pregnancy.

Supportive care, lifestyle optimization, and individualized treatment plans are important for couples experiencing recurrent miscarriage. Some patients may also benefit from complementary approaches that focus on improving overall reproductive health, circulation, and hormonal balance.

If you have experienced multiple pregnancy losses, it is important to seek professional evaluation. Early assessment and personalized care can help identify potential factors and support a healthier path toward pregnancy.
