Breaking the Silence on Repeated Miscarriages

Priya9016 Apr, 2024Health

Women are typically reluctant to discuss miscarriages or unplanned pregnancy losses. While one pregnancy loss may warrant a visit to the doctor, two or more may necessitate a full assessment for reproductive disorders. Major advances in reproductive medicine have helped to uncover the causes of recurrent pregnancy loss. In the past, a woman might never have known why she lost two or more babies in a sequence. However, accurate diagnoses are now available in approximately 60% of cases. The most prevalent causes include uterine issues, hormone imbalances, and genetic abnormalities. The Yale Medicine Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Program is the state's only dedicated program of its kind. It brings together experts from a multitude of professions to evaluate and treat women in a holistic way.
