Abstract

Recurrent miscarriage is defined as the spontaneous loss of two or more successive pregnancies before twenty weeks of gestation. Miscarriages are one of the most familiar complications of human conceptions. Frequency of pregnancy loss in all the clinically recognized pregnancies is approximately 15% in the general population. The risk of recurrent miscarriage is maximum among couples where the maternal age is 35 years or more and paternal age more than 40 years. In this paper, literature on infection, anatomic uterine defects, Hormonal and metabolic disorders, Nutritional factor, Immunological causes, Genetic factors and other risk factors of recurrent miscarriage are reviewed.
