Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Treatment in Wakad

Experiencing a miscarriage is a profoundly distressing event. When it happens multiple times, the emotional toll is immense, often leading to feelings of grief, frustration, and hopelessness. Medically, Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL) is defined as having two or more consecutive miscarriages. At Star Ortho & Women Care, we understand the sensitive nature of RPL. Dr. Aparna Kalekar provides not only rigorous medical investigation to find the underlying cause but also the empathetic, continuous support you need during this incredibly challenging journey.

To effectively treat RPL, we must first try to identify why it is happening. The causes are diverse and require a comprehensive diagnostic workup. The most common cause of early miscarriage is a random genetic (chromosomal) abnormality in the embryo. Other significant causes include autoimmune factors (such as Antiphospholipid Syndrome), inherited blood clotting disorders (thrombophilias), hormonal imbalances (like uncontrolled thyroid disease or diabetes), and structural abnormalities of the uterus (such as a uterine septum, fibroids, or cervical incompetence).

Our evaluation for RPL is thorough and systematic. It typically begins with a detailed medical and family history. Blood tests are performed to screen for autoimmune antibodies, clotting disorders, and hormonal imbalances (including thyroid and prolactin levels). We also evaluate the anatomy of the uterus using high-resolution 3D pelvic ultrasound or hysteroscopy to identify any structural issues. In many cases, we recommend chromosomal testing (karyotyping) for both partners. It is important to note that in about 50% of cases, no clear cause is found (unexplained RPL), which requires a specific supportive management approach.

Once a cause is identified, treatment is targeted accordingly. For structural uterine issues, a minimally invasive surgical correction (like hysteroscopic septum resection or fibroid removal) may be recommended. If an autoimmune or clotting disorder is found, treatment usually involves low-dose aspirin and/or heparin injections during the next pregnancy. Hormonal imbalances are corrected with appropriate medications. For unexplained RPL, close monitoring and early supportive care in the next pregnancy (sometimes affectionately called 'Tender Loving Care' protocols) have been shown to significantly improve outcomes.

The anxiety during a pregnancy following multiple losses is understandable and intense. Dr. Kalekar provides specialized, high-touch care for your next pregnancy. This includes early viability scans, frequent reassurance ultrasounds during the critical first trimester, and continuous medical monitoring. We are always accessible to address your concerns. Our goal is to provide the medical expertise and emotional reassurance needed to help you carry a healthy pregnancy to term safely.
