Recurrent Miscarriages

Recurrent miscarriages, medically known as recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), are defined as the loss of three or more consecutive pregnancies before 20 weeks of gestation. This condition can be both emotionally devastating and physically exhausting for women and their families, creating a profound sense of grief, anxiety, and helplessness. While many women experience a single miscarriage, recurrent losses require deeper investigation to understand the underlying causes and create a comprehensive treatment strategy.

The causes of recurrent miscarriages are often multifactorial. These may include genetic or chromosomal abnormalities, hormonal imbalances (such as luteal phase defects or uncontrolled thyroid disorders), uterine abnormalities (like fibroids, polyps, or a septate uterus), autoimmune conditions (such as antiphospholipid syndrome), or chronic health issues like uncontrolled diabetes. In some cases, environmental factors, lifestyle habits, or age may also play a role. Despite advances in diagnostics, up to 50% of cases may have no identifiable cause. However, comprehensive evaluations, including blood tests, imaging studies (such as 3D ultrasound or hysteroscopy), and genetic screening, can significantly improve the chances of identifying a treatable issue.

Treatment for recurrent miscarriages is highly individualized and depends on the root cause. Hormonal therapies, such as progesterone supplementation, may help regulate the reproductive cycle. Surgical correction of uterine anomalies or removal of fibroids can restore the uterine environment, while immune-modulating therapies may be necessary in autoimmune-related cases. Equally important is emotional and psychological support—many women benefit from counseling, support groups, and compassionate care throughout their fertility journey. At Dr. Pavani Gynae Care Clinic, we offer thorough diagnostic assessments, evidence-based treatment plans, and holistic emotional support to help women overcome this challenging phase and improve their chances of a healthy and successful pregnancy.
