Recurrent Miscarriages
Compassionate, thorough evaluation and management for couples experiencing recurrent miscarriages.
What are recurrent miscarriages and how common are they?
Recurrent miscarriage is defined as two or more pregnancy losses. Each miscarriage is a deeply distressing experience, and facing repeated losses can take a significant emotional toll. While a cause is not always identified, thorough investigation can reveal treatable contributing factors in many cases.
What investigations are involved?
A comprehensive evaluation typically includes chromosomal testing of both partners, assessment of uterine structure with ultrasound, blood tests for clotting disorders (thrombophilia), thyroid and hormonal function, and immunological factors. In some cases, testing of miscarriage tissue may also provide useful information. Where a treatable cause is identified, targeted management can significantly improve the chance of a successful future pregnancy.
What support is provided during a future pregnancy?
Following investigation and treatment, I provide close early pregnancy monitoring with serial blood tests and early ultrasound scans to offer reassurance and prompt intervention where needed. The emotional dimension of subsequent pregnancies after recurrent loss is taken seriously, and support is provided at every step.
