Hello. This is Dalimchae Korean Medicine Clinic.

I Keep Miscarrying, Will the Next Pregnancy Be Safe Amidst Repeated Pain?

The heart waiting for a lovely baby is a preciousness that cannot be expressed in any words. However, if a pregnancy that was hard to come by keeps ending in miscarriage, the despair and anxiety will be beyond words. Many people hesitate to even try for the next pregnancy for fear of "what if I miscarry again this time?" Deeply sympathizing with the hearts of patients who complain of "I keep miscarrying," Dalimchae Clinic is continuing its efforts to find the fundamental cause of repeated miscarriages and help healthy pregnancy and childbirth.

💡 [Key Answer] 3 most common causes of "I keep miscarrying": ① Anatomical problems / ② Immunological problems / ③ Unknown cause Dalimchae Clinic helps maintain a healthy pregnancy by fundamentally strengthening the uterine environment through constitutional improvement.

Repeated miscarriage usually refers to experiencing spontaneous miscarriage consecutively twice or more. The pain of losing a baby is hard even once, but if it's repeated several times, it leaves a deep wound in the body and mind. The causes of such repeated miscarriages are very diverse and can be divided as follows:

• Chromosomal abnormalities: One of the most common causes, occurring due to chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. This usually happens by chance and may not be a problem in the next pregnancy.
• Uterine structural abnormalities: Anatomical problems of the uterus, such as uterine malformations, intrauterine adhesions, uterine fibroids, and cervical incompetence, can interfere with the implantation and growth of the fetus. According to a 2009 study analyzing the causes of repeated miscarriage patients in Korea, anatomical abnormalities were the most common cause at 29.4%.
• Endocrine abnormalities: Hormonal imbalances such as luteal phase deficiency, thyroid disease, and diabetes fail to create the environment necessary for maintaining pregnancy.
• Immunological problems: Cases where the fetus is recognized as a foreign substance and attacked due to autoimmune diseases or immunological rejection.
• Thrombotic tendency: Blood clotting problems can cause miscarriage by obstructing blood flow to the placenta.
• Unknown cause: Cases where no special cause is found despite all tests account for a significant portion of overall repeated miscarriages, which makes patients even more frustrated.

In this way, it is important to understand which part of my body makes it difficult to maintain pregnancy amidst various causes. Dalimchae Clinic Incheon Branch analyzes the causes of repeated miscarriage from various angles through precise diagnosis and establishes a customized treatment plan for each individual.

Many people who visit Korean medicine clinics complaining of "I keep miscarrying" often have no special abnormalities on Western medical tests or have repeated miscarriages despite existing treatments. For these people, Korean medicine treatment can be a new hope for healthy pregnancy and childbirth. In Korean medicine, repeated miscarriage has been studied and treated for a long time as 'Hwal-tae (滑胎)' or 'Sak-ta-tae (數墮胎)'. As the meaning suggests that the fetus miscarries as if sliding, we focus on making the uterine environment strong and increasing pregnancy maintenance power.

Recent studies are scientifically proving the effectiveness of these Korean medicine treatments. A systematic review and network meta-analysis of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for recurrent pregnancy loss, published in 2026, synthesized 47 randomized controlled trials (6,678 women). According to this study, the group treated with TCM in combination had a significantly lower miscarriage rate (Relative Risk 0.50, 95% CI 0.45-0.55) and significantly higher live birth rate (Relative Risk 1.20, 95% CI 1.15-1.25) and full-term birth rate (Relative Risk 1.37, 95% CI 1.23-1.53) compared to the group that was not. It also showed a significant reduction in preterm birth rate and side effect occurrence.

In addition, a study published in 2020 titled "Effect of Combination Therapy with Herbal Medicine (Sutaehwan) in Early Pregnancy on Idiopathic Habitual Miscarriage: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis" analyzed 12 clinical studies of 916 women with repeated miscarriage of unknown cause. As a result of this study, the group treated with a combination of herbal medicine (Sutaehwan) and Western medicine had a statistically significantly lower early miscarriage rate compared to the group treated with Western medicine alone (Relative Risk 0.42; 95% CI 0.34-0.52; P < 0.01), and it was confirmed to have a positive effect on maintaining pregnancy, such as increasing the live birth rate and decreasing D-dimer levels. These studies suggest that Korean medicine treatment can play an important role in successfully maintaining pregnancy by improving the uterine environment, regulating immunological balance, and smoothing blood circulation.

Dalimchae Clinic approaches repeated miscarriage with the constitutional improvement treatment philosophy of "creating a body where symptoms do not turn back on, rather than just turning off the symptoms." We aim to create a healthy uterine environment from deep within the bodies of those suffering from "I keep miscarrying" and strengthen pregnancy maintenance power.

Constitutional improvement treatment proceeds based on the following principles:

1. Fundamental strengthening of the uterine environment: We focus on making the uterus, which plays the most important role in maintaining pregnancy, healthy. By improving blood circulation in the uterus, optimizing the implantation environment of the uterine lining, and strengthening the function of the uterus itself, we help the fetus implant and grow stably. This is like making fertile soil so that seeds can grow well.
2. Regulation of immune and hormone balance: We improve immunological imbalances or hormonal problems, which are major causes of repeated miscarriage. We balance the body so that the body's immune system does not reject the fetus and essential hormones for maintaining pregnancy are secreted stably. Many people looking for an Incheon infertility Korean medicine clinic are receiving help in these areas.
3. General health promotion and stress management: Fatigue and stress in the body and mind caused by miscarriage can have a negative impact on the next pregnancy. Constitutional improvement herbal medicine helps in overall energy recovery and mind-body stability, contributing to alleviating anxiety and tension that can occur during the process of preparing for pregnancy. This also has a positive effect on the production of healthy eggs and sperm.

At Dalimchae Clinic Incheon Branch, we precisely diagnose individual constitutions, health status, and the cause of miscarriage, and combine customized herbal prescriptions with acupuncture and moxibustion treatments. Especially for those looking for an Incheon repeated miscarriage clinic, we are doing our best to increase the pregnancy success rate and maintenance rate through continuous management from before pregnancy to early pregnancy.

Are you perhaps at risk of repeated miscarriage, or are you suffering from a miscarriage of unknown cause? Check your status through the checklist below.

Repeated Miscarriage Self-Checklist

• I have experienced spontaneous miscarriage 2 or more times recently.
• I feel that I was not able to take proper care of my body after miscarriage.
• My menstrual cycle is irregular or I have severe menstrual pain.

• I am often under stress and suffer from chronic fatigue.
• I have great anxiety or depression for no particular reason.
• I have been diagnosed with infertility or have difficulty getting pregnant.
• I am preparing for a late-age pregnancy.
• I have uterine-related diseases such as uterine fibroids or endometriosis.

Judgment Criteria:

• 3 or more applicable: Suspected risk of repeated miscarriage. It is good to review Korean medicine treatment for improving the uterine environment and overall health.
• 5 or more applicable: Immediate visit and precise diagnosis recommended. It is important to find the cause through professional consultation at Dalimchae Clinic and establish a customized treatment plan.

Q. What are the diagnostic criteria for repeated miscarriage? A. Generally, repeated miscarriage (Recurrent Pregnancy Loss, RPL) is diagnosed when spontaneous miscarriage is experienced 2 or more times consecutively. In the past, 3 or more times was the standard, but recently, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) have revised the definition to 2 or more times.

Q. Is it safe to take herbal medicine during pregnancy? A. Taking herbal medicine during pregnancy must follow the precise diagnosis and prescription of a professional Korean medicine doctor. At Dalimchae Clinic, we only use medicinal herbs whose safety has been secured for pregnant women, so they are harmless to the fetus. Rather, we prescribe 'Antaeyak' and others that help maintain pregnancy, helping in miscarriage prevention and health management of pregnant women.

Q. Can repeated miscarriage heal naturally? A. Once you experience miscarriage, the probability of the next miscarriage increases, and the more miscarriages you have, the higher that probability becomes. Therefore, rather than waiting for repeated miscarriage to resolve naturally, it is very important for the success of the next pregnancy to actively find and treat the cause.

Q. Is Korean medicine treatment effective for repeated miscarriage of unknown cause? A. Yes, repeated miscarriage of unknown cause often has no clear treatment in Western medicine, so patients suffer more. Korean medicine treatment shows positive effects on repeated miscarriage of unknown cause through a comprehensive approach such as uterine environment improvement, immune regulation, and blood flow promotion.

Repeated miscarriage is not a problem that can be solved by enduring. You no longer have to ignore the signals your body has been sending for a long time. If you approach in the right direction, the body responds faster than you think. Bring your symptoms exactly as they are. At Dalimchae Clinic, we will find the cause together.
