Recurring miscarriages and anaemia? Thalassemia screening could hold the answer.
Dr Aash*ta Jain, Fertility Specialist, Birla Fertility & IVF, Surat, answered the same.
Women with thalassaemia, particularly those with severe anaemia, may experience recurrent miscarriages, pre-eclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), or preterm labour. In extreme cases, especially with alpha thalassemia major, the foetus may develop anaemia in the womb.
