Recurrent miscarriage, known also by terms such as habitual abortion and recurrent pregnancy loss, is a condition marked by two or more consecutive losses of pregnancy before the 20th week. This distressing experience affects numerous individuals and couples, casting a shadow over the joy of prospective parenthood. The medical community's quest to understand and address this condition continues, with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offering alternative perspectives and solutions.
Traditional Chinese Medicine approaches recurrent miscarriage from a holistic standpoint, viewing it as a symptom of underlying disharmony within the body. TCM emphasizes the importance of Qi (vital energy), Blood, and organ system balance in maintaining a healthy pregnancy.
It suggests that disturbances in these areas can lead to pregnancy loss. This ancient system of medicine stresses identifying and treating the root cause of imbalance rather than just addressing the symptom of miscarriage, aiming for a harmonious state where the body can sustain a pregnancy.
