When Loss Happens Again and Again
Losing a pregnancy is painful. Losing more than one can feel unbearable — and too often, couples in Patna are left to carry that grief quietly, without answers. If this is you, please know two things before anything else: you are not alone, and this is not your fault.
Recurrent miscarriage, or recurrent pregnancy loss, means the loss of two or more pregnancies. It is far more common than people talk about. And most importantly, it is a medical situation that deserves proper investigation — because in many couples, a reason can be found, and where there is a reason, there is very often something that can be done.
It is time to seek a proper evaluation if:
- You have had two or more miscarriages.
- You have been told to “just try again” without any tests being done.
- You have a known thyroid, PCOS, or clotting problem.
- You are carrying anxiety into every new pregnancy and want a clear plan.
Please Hear This First
A miscarriage is not caused by anything you did. Not by working, cooking, travelling, climbing stairs, everyday activity, or by a moment of stress. These old beliefs cause enormous, undeserved guilt — and they are simply not true.
Recurrent miscarriage has medical causes, and finding them is a doctor's job, not a burden for you to carry. The purpose of this page is not to add worry, but to show you that answers exist and that a hopeful next step is possible.
Common Causes
There is rarely just one reason, and often a cause can be identified. Here are the ones we most commonly look for.
Hormonal Causes
Thyroid problems, PCOS, and other hormonal imbalances — often very treatable once identified.
Uterine Factors
The shape or structure of the uterus, or fibroids and polyps, can affect how a pregnancy holds — and many can be corrected.
Clotting & Immune Issues
Certain blood-clotting and immune conditions can affect the pregnancy and are managed with specific treatment.
Genetic Factors
Genetic factors in either partner can play a role, and testing helps understand and plan around them.

Tests That Help Find Answers
A good evaluation is planned and purposeful — each test is chosen to rule a cause in or out, not done at random.
| Test | What it checks |
|---|---|
| Hormone & Thyroid Tests | Look for thyroid, PCOS and other hormonal causes that can be corrected. |
| Ultrasound / Hysteroscopy | Checks the shape and lining of the uterus for structural causes. |
| Blood-Clotting & Immune Tests | Identify clotting or immune conditions that can affect a pregnancy. |
| Genetic Testing | In selected cases, testing of both partners to understand genetic factors. |
Not every couple needs every test. Dr. Rashmi Prasad chooses the right investigations for your history — and explains each result in plain language.
Treatment & The Next Pregnancy
Treatment depends entirely on the cause found. But the goal is always the same — a safe, closely supported next pregnancy.
Treating the Cause
Correcting a thyroid or hormonal issue, managing a clotting problem, or surgically fixing a uterine factor — addressing what was found.
Close Monitoring
The next pregnancy is watched closely from the earliest days, with extra scans and support to catch and manage any concern early.
Medication Support
Where needed, specific medicines are used to support the pregnancy, guided by the cause identified.
Emotional Support
This journey is as much emotional as medical. Being heard and reassured is part of the care, not an afterthought.
Recurrent Miscarriage FAQs
Recurrent miscarriage, also called recurrent pregnancy loss, is usually defined as the loss of two or more pregnancies. It is more common than most people realise, and importantly, it is a medical situation that deserves proper investigation - not something to simply keep enduring in silence.
No. This is something every couple deserves to hear clearly: recurrent miscarriage is not caused by anything you did wrong - not by working, travelling, everyday activity, or stress alone. It has medical causes, and finding them is the doctor's job, not a reason for you to carry blame.
There are several. Common ones include hormonal problems (such as thyroid or PCOS), the structure of the uterus, genetic factors in either partner, blood-clotting disorders, and immune-related issues. In a good number of couples, the cause can be found and treated. In some, no clear cause is found - and even then, the outlook for a future pregnancy is often still positive.
A proper evaluation may include hormone and thyroid tests, a scan or hysteroscopy to check the uterus, blood-clotting and immune tests, and sometimes genetic testing of both partners. The aim is to look for a treatable cause in a planned, step-by-step way rather than testing at random.
Yes. Many couples who have had repeated miscarriages go on to have a healthy baby, especially once a treatable cause is found and addressed. Even where no cause is identified, the chances of a successful next pregnancy remain encouraging with the right monitoring and support.
At our centre in Patna, recurrent miscarriage is handled with both medical thoroughness and genuine care. Dr. Rashmi Prasad investigates the possible causes, explains the findings honestly, and creates a plan for the next pregnancy with close monitoring - so couples from across Bihar feel supported, not just treated.
