Habitual abortion
Habitual abortion, recurrent miscarriage or recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is the occurrence of repeated (three or more consecutive) pregnancies that end in miscarriage of the fetus, usually before 20 weeks of gestation. RPL affects about 0.34% of women who conceive.
The majority (85%) of women who have had two miscarriages will conceive and carry normally afterwards
Causes
There are various causes for habitual abortions, and some are treatable. Some couples never have a cause identified, often after extensive investigations.
Anatomical conditions
Uterine conditions
A uterine malformation is considered to cause about 15% of recurrent miscarriages. The most common abnormality is a uterine septum, a partition of the uterine cavity. The diagnosis is made by MRI or a combined Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopyof the uterus. Also uterine leiomyoma (fibroid) could result in pregnancy loss.
Cervical conditions
In the second trimester a weak cervix can become a recurrent problem. Such cervical incompetence leads to premature pregnancy loss resulting in miscarriages or preterm deliveries.
Chromosomal disorders
This can cause a spontaneous miscarriage if there are chromosomal abnormalities in female or the male partner.
Endocrine disorders
Women with thyroid disorders, both hypo- and hyperactivity, have are at increased risk for pregnancy losses. Unrecognized or poorly treated diabetes mellitus leads to increased miscarriages. Women with Polycystic ovary syndrome also have higher rates of miscarriages due to increased level of Insulin and androgens (male hormones).
Progesterone deficiency may also lead to miscarriages- all the above are easily corrected although diagnosis is essential.
