Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL), a poignant medical condition, refers to the unfortunate occurrence of three or more consecutive pregnancy losses before the 20th week of gestation. This distressing phenomenon poses emotional and physical challenges for couples striving to build a family. The etiology of RPL is multifaceted, encompassing genetic factors, anatomical abnormalities, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune disorders, and thrombophilias. Comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, including genetic testing, hormonal assessments, and imaging studies, are crucial in identifying underlying causes. Psychosocial support plays a pivotal role in alleviating the profound emotional impact on couples experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss, as the journey is fraught with grief, anxiety, and feelings of inadequacy. Advanced reproductive technologies, such as In vitro Fertilization (IVF) and preimplantation genetic testing, offer hope for those facing RPL, allowing for more targeted interventions and improved chances of a successful pregnancy. Medical management may involve addressing specific causative factors, such as administering blood thinners for thrombophilias or hormonal therapies for endocrine disorders. A collaborative approach between obstetricians, genetic counselors, and other specialists is paramount to tailor treatment plans to individual circumstances. Lifestyle modifications, including stress reduction, a balanced diet, and avoidance of harmful substances, are integral components of a holistic approach to managing RPL. Despite advances in medical science, the exact cause remains elusive in some cases, emphasizing the need for ongoing research to unravel the complexities of recurrent pregnancy loss and develop more effective interventions.
