Miscarriage and Your Immune System with Professor Shehata

I am joined by Professor Hasan Shahata from the Centre for Reproductive Immunology and Pregnancy. We discuss the complexities of reproductive immunology, particularly focusing on recurrent miscarriages and IVF failures. We discuss:How Reproductive Immunology focuses on the immune system's role in pregnancy.Why recurrent miscarriage is not typically caused by chromosomal abnormalities.How investigation should begin after two miscarriages, or one if late.How Male factors are often overlooked in miscarriage investigations.How testing protocols vary between NHS and private sectors.Why Natural killer cells play a significant role in recurrent miscarriage.How IVF does not improve outcomes for recurrent miscarriage patients.Why medications like prednisolone may have immune modulation effects.How microbiome testing is an emerging area but lacks conclusive evidence.For further support we will be running two events in our community as part of this series.
