Recurrent Miscarriage

Also known as recurrent miscarriage, it is a fertility problem in which the pregnancy does not reach term. Specifically, it is the loss of 3 or more pregnancies before 20 weeks of gestation.

What causes it?

It is due to genetic causes affecting the embryo, alterations in the mother's immune system, infections during the first trimester of pregnancy or malformations in the mother's uterus.
