Determining the Cause of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
Many individuals are under the false impression that the cause of recurrent pregnancy loss is not identifiable. A thorough evaluation can identify the cause of pregnancy loss and help avoid further complications. With a careful work-up, a number of treatable problems can be detected and addressed. The known causes of recurrent miscarriages fall into the following categories:
- Genetic
- Hormonal
- Immunologic
- Anatomic
- Infectious
- Unexplained
At the Center For Reproductive Medicine and Fertility, Dr. Manara works extensively with patients to determine the exact cause of recurrent pregnancy loss in order to devise an effective treatment plan. Among the testing that he performs at his New Jersey office are:
- Chromosomal analysis of both partners
- Hormonal test to include thyroid, pituitary, and ovarian function.
- Testing for several known immunologic markers associated with recurrent pregnancy loss
- Hysterosalpinogogram- X-ray of the uterus
- Sampling of cervical secretions for presence of specific bacteria
