Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

couple-on-couch

Losing a pregnancy is a devastating experience, and when it is recurrent, many people are overwhelmed with grief and anxiety. Many known causes account for pregnancy loss, including inherited or spontaneous genetic abnormalities, anatomical defects of a woman’s reproductive system, hormonal imbalances, immunological deficiencies, infectious causes or, blood clotting abnormalities.

An investigation to determine if an underlying cause is responsible is necessary. Correction of abnormalities significantly increases the possibility of a successful pregnancy. Close management of pregnancy during the first trimester is part of the treatment plan and has been demonstrated to reduce the risk of additional losses as well.
