Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) involves various causes like genetic, endocrine, and autoimmune factors. Careful diagnosis and treatment are crucial, balancing intervention with the possibility of spontaneous recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Genetics
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) affects a significant number of women, impacting reproductive health.
  • Understanding the diverse etiologies of RPL is essential for effective management.
  • Existing knowledge on RPL encompasses genetic, endocrine, anatomic, autoimmune, alloimmune, systemic, and infectious causes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of major etiologies of recurrent pregnancy loss.
  • To present diagnostic protocols and treatment strategies for RPL.
  • To emphasize the importance of judicious clinical decision-making in RPL management.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recurrent pregnancy loss.
  • Synthesis of information on genetic and endocrine abnormalities.

  • Examination of anatomic variations, autoimmune conditions, alloimmune problems, systemic disease, and infection.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified major etiologies of RPL including genetic, endocrine, anatomic, autoimmune, alloimmune, systemic, and infectious factors.
    • Diagnostic protocols and treatment strategies for RPL were reviewed.
    • The high rate of spontaneous normal pregnancy outcomes necessitates caution in interventions.

    Conclusions:

    • Recurrent pregnancy loss is a multifactorial condition requiring comprehensive evaluation.
    • Appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic strategies can improve outcomes for some patients.
    • Clinical management must carefully weigh the benefits of intervention against the risk of iatrogenic harm, considering the potential for natural resolution.
