Recurrent miscarriage, the loss of three or more pregnancies, affects 1% of couples. Evidence-based management is crucial for this common pregnancy complication, moving beyond anecdotal evidence.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Genetics
  • Psychological Medicine

Background:

  • Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is the loss of three or more consecutive pregnancies, affecting 1% of couples.
  • RM is linked to significant psychological distress, including depression and anxiety.
  • Conventional beliefs regarding RM causes and treatments often lack scientific support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of RM within reproductive failure.
  • To emphasize the link between RM, subfertility, and late pregnancy complications.
  • To advocate for evidence-based management over anecdotal practices.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current research on recurrent miscarriage.
  • Analysis of the psychological impact on affected women.
