Clotting disorders and recurrent miscarriages

Inherited bleeding and clotting disorders can sometimes cause heavy menstrual bleeding or recurrent miscarriages. However, these complications often have other underlying causes.

At the Penn Medicine Center for Women’s Thrombosis and Hemostasis, we provide the expertise needed to identify the connection between bleeding disorders and these challenges. Our team asks the right questions, offers comprehensive evaluations, and delivers sensitive, personalized care.

Inherited clotting disorders may lead to recurrent miscarriages by restricting blood flow to the placenta. Preventive medications can improve the chances of a healthy pregnancy and delivery.

If you’ve experienced multiple miscarriages, our team can help determine if a comprehensive evaluation is right for you.
