Miscarriages Diagnosis, Management and Coping Strategies

A miscarriage can be defined as a pregnancy that ends spontaneously before the foetus has reached a viable gestational age. There are two types of miscarriages: sporadic (SM) and recurrent (RM). RM is defined by most clinicians as three or more consecutive miscarriages. In this book, the authors discuss topics that include prevention of recurrent miscarriages; auto-immunity and recurrent miscarriages; the efficacy and safety of Chinese medicines for threatened miscarriage; Chinese herbal medicines for recurrent miscarriage; and the genetics of miscarriages.
