Recurrent Miscarriage: Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Recurrent Miscarriage: Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment

What Is Recurrent Miscarriage?

Recurrent miscarriage is defined as the loss of three or more pregnancies before the 20th week. It affects about 20-25% of pregnancies, making it a heartbreaking experience for many couples. While some cases remain unexplained, a detailed medical evaluation can often uncover the underlying causes.

At Sakalli IVF, we specialize in advanced diagnostics and personalized treatments to help couples overcome repeated pregnancy loss.


Understanding the Causes of Recurrent Miscarriage

Most miscarriages occur within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Depending on when they happen, they fall into different categories:

✔️ Biochemical Miscarriage – Occurs before an ultrasound can detect the amniotic sac.
✔️ Early Miscarriage – Happens before the 10th week of pregnancy.
✔️ Late Miscarriage – Occurs between weeks 11 and 20.
✔️ Preterm Delivery – Refers to pregnancy loss after the 20th week.

As the number of miscarriages increases, so does the risk of another pregnancy loss. Several factors can contribute, including:

✔️ Genetic Abnormalities – Chromosomal issues, which often become more common with maternal or paternal age.
✔️ Immune Disorders – Conditions such as antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) can cause the body to reject a pregnancy.
✔️ Infections – Some bacterial and viral infections, like cytomegalovirus, toxoplasmosis, and rubella, may interfere with pregnancy.
✔️ Uterine Issues – Structural problems, including fibroids, adhesions, or a weak cervix, can prevent a pregnancy from developing properly.


How Is Recurrent Miscarriage Diagnosed?

Finding the cause of recurrent miscarriage requires a comprehensive medical evaluation. At Sakalli IVF, we use the latest diagnostic tools to examine reproductive health. Some of the most important tests include:

✔️ Genetic Testing – Karyotype analysis for both partners to identify chromosomal abnormalities.
✔️ Hormonal Testing – Checking for thyroid disorders, progesterone imbalances, and other hormonal factors that affect pregnancy.
✔️ Ultrasound & Hysteroscopy – Imaging tests that detect fibroids, polyps, or congenital abnormalities in the uterus.

Early diagnosis improves the chances of developing an effective treatment plan and increasing pregnancy success rates.


How to Reduce the Risk of Recurrent Miscarriage

Preventing miscarriage requires a tailored and proactive approach. At Sakalli IVF, we focus on:

✔️ Genetic Screening (PGT-A) – Identifying and selecting healthy, chromosomally normal embryos before implantation.
✔️ Lifestyle Improvements – Encouraging a nutritious diet, regular physical activity, and stress-reducing techniques to improve fertility.
✔️ Medical Interventions
🔹 Hormonal Support – Balancing progesterone levels to help maintain pregnancy.
🔹 Surgical Treatments – Correcting fibroids, polyps, or cervical incompetence to create a healthier uterine environment.
🔹 Immunotherapy – Treating immune-related pregnancy loss for women diagnosed with APS or autoimmune conditions.

A personalized treatment plan can significantly improve the chances of a successful pregnancy while minimizing risks.


Can IVF Help Prevent Miscarriage?

For couples who have experienced multiple miscarriages, IVF combined with genetic testing offers a promising solution. Through Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies (PGT-A), specialists can select the healthiest embryos, reducing the risk of chromosomal-related miscarriage.

Additionally, IVF allows fertility experts to monitor embryo development closely and ensure that the uterus is optimally prepared for implantation.


Managing the Emotional Impact of Pregnancy Loss

Experiencing multiple miscarriages can be both emotionally and physically draining. Feelings of grief, frustration, and anxiety are entirely normal. That’s why Sakalli IVF provides both medical solutions and emotional support.

✔️ Counseling Services – Professional support to help couples navigate the emotions surrounding pregnancy loss.
✔️ Support Groups & Resources – Opportunities to connect with others who share similar experiences.

Taking care of emotional well-being is just as important as addressing medical factors. A balanced approach can help couples move forward with hope and confidence.
