“May all be happy, may all be healed, may all be at peace and may no one ever suffer."
Recurrent miscarriage is defined as the loss of two or more consecutive pregnancies before the 20th week of gestation. It is a relatively common problem, affecting up to 1% of couples trying to conceive. The causes of recurrent miscarriage can be diverse, and in many cases, the underlying cause remains unknown.
Some of the common causes of recurrent miscarriage include:
Treatment for recurrent miscarriage depends on the underlying cause. In cases where no cause is found, supportive care and monitoring during pregnancy may be recommended. In cases where a specific cause is identified, treatment may involve addressing the underlying condition with medication, surgery, or other interventions.
Couples experiencing recurrent miscarriage may also benefit from counseling and support to help cope with the emotional impact of multiple losses and to explore options for alternative family building, such as adoption or assisted reproductive technologies.
