Teratoma and Recurrent Early Miscarriage
Teratoma is a type of dermoid ovarian cyst that contains fully developed tissue or organs such as bone, teeth, hair, etc. It is commonly found in the ovaries and is benign but still requires surgical removal.
Some ovarian teratoma form during a pregnancy, originating from the abnormal development of one of 2 embryos (pregnant with twins). While one embryo can grow and develop normally, the other slowly develops abnormally (contributing include chromosomal abnormality or lack of nutrients) into a tumor, which may cause a potential pregnancy loss if left undetected. As embryos develop into blastocysts, they contain germ cells that will grow into several kinds of tissue such as bone, teeth, hair etc. This process occurs during the development of these Teratoma, which is these tumors contain fully developed tissues.
If left untreated, it will lead to a early miscarriage, fetal demise and recurrent immunological miscarriage. Antai Hospital is the only private hospital that offers contractual recurrent miscarriage treatment with a full refund policy.

How does Teratoma cause recurrent miscarriages?
Teratoma that grow in the ovaries, known as ovarian Teratoma can affect:
- The quality and maturation of the egg cells in the ovaries
- The development of the corpus luteum (leading to Corpus Luteum Insufficiency or Low Progesterone)
As we all know, Progesterone is a crucial hormone that is needed to sustain a healthy and full-term pregnancy. Corpus luteum insufficiency means the corpus luteum does not produce the required levels of Progesterone.
This can cause:
- The endometrium to not thicken and vascularize, making it very difficult for implantation to take place.
- Affects the growth and development of the embryo in your early pregnancy.
And these factors above can potentially lead to:
- Early miscarriage
- Fetal Demise
- Recurrent miscarriage*
*Corpus Luteum Insufficiency is a primary cause for a complex (multi-factor) recurrent miscarriage.
