What are the Causes for Repeated Miscarriages?
An evaluation for repetitive miscarriages is ordinarily confined to three major causes. The first, and the easiest to correct, is an anatomical abnormality of the uterus. Scar tissue, or tumor, can create a poor environment for the embryo to attach. Most of the time, however, it can be corrected by outpatient surgery. The second major cause is immune-mediated and can be detected by a simple blood test. Similarly, genetic reasons underlie some miscarriages and can easily be assessed. Fortunately, most individuals with this problem have a good prognosis.
