Abstract

Miscarriage is becoming a common condition for pregnant women, especially in recent years where miscarriage rates have progressively increased as women try to conceive later in life and more and more patients seek IVF treatment. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has demonstrated that it can prevent and treat recurrent spontaneous miscarriage (RSM) effectively and successfully. In this article, the author analyses the aetiology and pathology of RSM and discuss the differentiation and general modifications according to her clinical experience. The author will also introduce the modern Western medicine approach regarding the diagnosis and treatment of RSM, particularly in with immunological reactions, and report two case studies.
