Recurrent pregnancy loss

Recurrent pregnancy loss is a vexing clinical problem as the cause often remains unexplained despite the major advances in genetics and immunology. Treatment is often controversial and ranges from “masterly inactivity”, to an approach which could be considered as “over aggressive”. The problem is distressing to couples, who understandably expect answers and solutions, and frustrating for the physician who often does not have these answers, particularly in the face of ever-changing and conflicting recommendations. This book tries to summarize those controversies, and discuss the scientific basis for various causes of pregnancy loss in depth, and to debate the various treatment modalities which have been used in recent years. Hence, it is hoped that this book describes the accumulating data in a way which is both scientifically sound and also clinically useful, and which may improve the care of these couples.
