Secondary Infertility & Recurrent Miscarriage - What You Need to Know

About

Secondary infertility is the inability to conceive or bring a fetus to term after giving birth to a baby. Two or more consecutive miscarriages is termed as recurrent miscarriage.
Secondary infertility affects more than 3 million women in the states.

- Requires medical diagnosis
- A wide range of treatment options available
- Causes are varied

Among the women who experience recurrent miscarriage, 70% are primary recurrent pregnancy loss cases i.e. all previous pregnancies were lost. Remaining 30% come under secondary infertility. Secondary infertility can happen due to insufficient sperm production, ovulation disorder, damage in the fallopian tube, other factors like age and use of certain medicines. Recurrent miscarriage, on the other hand, is due to genetic or chromosomal abnormalities. Infections, excessive smoking, and auto-immune disease can also be the reasons.
