Corpus Luteum Insufficiency & PCOS: Cause of Miscarriage – Antai Hospital

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a disorder of the ovaries. The ovaries no longer work normally, affecting its endocrine and ovulation functions. 

Some of the common characteristics of PCOS include:

  • The ovaries develop multiple follicles at the same time instead of just one follicle
  • During ovulation, the oocytes may or may not be released, and are undeveloped (low quality oocytes)
  • The ovaries secrete excess amounts of testosterone due to presence of Leydig cells 
  • The cells of the body are more resistant to insulin due to metabolic resistance.
  • Prone to lead to uterine deformity (septate uterus, uterine hypoplasia, cervical insufficiency) that can lead to miscarriages.

How does PCOS cause Corpus Luteum Insufficiency?

PCOS affects the ovaries production of the hormones and the maturation of the follicles. Clinically speaking, these 2 conditions are very closely related. PCOS can cause Corpus Luteum Insufficiency due to the following factors:

  • The presence of many under-developed follicles in the ovaries causing obstruction to ovulation
  • Low secretion of Progesterone and Estrogen of the hormone, affecting the development and growth of the oocytes and the corpus luteum.

When the corpus luteum is under-developed, it secretes insufficient amounts of progesterone, directly leading to Corpus Luteum Insufficiency, which causes:

  • A thin endometrium which makes implantation of embryo difficult
  • Negatively affects the growth and development of the fetus during early pregnancy,

If left untreated, the complications that can arise are:

  1. A potential fetal demise
  2. Early recurrent miscarriage
  3. Immunological recurrent miscarriage

What are the treatments available?

To effectively treat Corpus Luteum Insufficiency and prevent recurrent miscarriages, we must treat its root cause.
