Abstract

For the past few years, the incidence of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL) has been on the rise, which not only plagues many couples who are preparing for pregnancy, but also has such a tremendous negative impact on the patients body and mind. Recurrent pregnancy loss is defined as two or more clinically confirmed pregnancy losses, including embryo and foetal loss, before 20-24 weeks of pregnancy. The diagnosis of early pregnancy loss is relatively straightforward, although progress in predicting and preventing recurrent pregnancy loss has been hampered by the lack of a standardized definition, uncertainty surrounding pathogenesis and a highly variable clinical presentation. The prognosis for couples with recurrent pregnancy loss is usually favourable, although the likelihood of a successful pregnancy depends on the age of the mother and the number of previous losses. Chromosomal errors, uterine anatomical defects, autoimmune diseases and endometrial dysfunction may contribute to recurrent pregnancy loss. As research continues, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is gaining more and more attention. Through reading related articles, this paper presents a review of the effect of diminished ovarian reserve on recurrent miscarriage, with the aim of exploring the relationship between DOR and RPL, and whether DOR has an impact on women's pregnancy outcomes.
