Recurrent fetal loss, or recurrent spontaneous abortion, has many causes including genetic and blood clotting issues. Prompt diagnosis and treatment, like aspirin and heparin for thrombotic defects, can lead to successful pregnancies.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Genetics
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Recurrent miscarriage, also termed fetal loss syndrome or fetal wastage syndrome, involves repeated spontaneous abortions.
  • Numerous underlying causes exist, including anatomical, endocrine, genetic, and coagulation defects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss common causes of recurrent fetal loss.
  • To outline diagnostic procedures for identifying the cause of recurrent miscarriages.
  • To describe management strategies for achieving successful pregnancy outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of common causes of recurrent fetal loss.
  • Discussion of diagnostic tools: cytogenetic studies, coagulation tests, hysterosalpingography, sonography, MRI.
  • Description of management strategies, including aspirin and heparin for thrombotic defects.

Main Results:

  • Many causes of recurrent fetal loss are treatable, enabling normal term pregnancies.
  • A 100% success rate for normal-term delivery was observed in women with thrombotic defects using low-dose aspirin and heparin.

Conclusions:

  • Thorough evaluation is crucial for diagnosing treatable causes of recurrent fetal loss.
  • Effective management strategies can significantly improve pregnancy outcomes for affected women.
