Causes of miscarriage

This hub on causes of miscarriage covers stages and timelines, preparation checklists, typical examinations, and safety warning signs.

Abruption of the ovum: early stages, causes, tactics

The term abruption encompasses two conditions: immediate abruption (early pregnancy) and critical abruption (mid- or late pregnancy). In the former case, it is an alarming sign of a possible miscarriage.

Male factor in miscarriage: what is considered in the father's case?

Paternal causes of miscarriage play a lesser role than maternal ones, with the exception of chromosomal abnormalities. However, according to many researchers, husbands of women with recurrent miscarriage have a high incidence of spermatogenesis disorders: oligospermia, polyspermia, teratospermia, and leukocytospermia.

Extragenital diseases of the mother: risk of premature termination

Maternal extragenital diseases are a common cause of premature termination of pregnancy. Those at increased risk for miscarriage include women with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and chronic kidney, liver, and intestinal diseases.

Factors that trigger pregnancy loss: an overview

Among the factors leading to termination of pregnancy, pregnancy complications occupy a significant place: toxicosis in the second half of pregnancy, abnormalities in placental attachment, premature placental abruption, and abnormal fetal position.

Uterine pathology: how it leads to habitual miscarriage

Uterine malformations play a significant role in the etiology of recurrent miscarriage, particularly in second- and third-trimester miscarriages. The incidence of uterine malformations in the population is only 0.5-0.6%.

Hemostasis and miscarriage: key disorders

The state of the hemostasis system determines the course and outcome of pregnancy for both mother and fetus. In recent years, a significant number of publications have indicated the significant role of thrombophilic complications in recurrent miscarriage, intrauterine fetal death, placental abruption, the development of eclampsia, and intrauterine growth retardation.

Antiphospholipid syndrome: why the risk of loss increases

Antiphospholipid syndrome is the most common cause of thrombophilic complications and associated recurrent pregnancy loss. A distinction is made between primary antiphospholipid syndrome and secondary antiphospholipid syndrome, which occurs when an autoimmune disease (most commonly systemic lupus erythematosus) is also present.

Immune causes of miscarriage: main options

Over the course of several decades, with the emergence of new methodological possibilities in immunology, the problem of immunological relationships between mother and fetus has received the closest attention.

Bacteria and miscarriage: the role of microflora and inflammation

In recent years, studies have appeared that demonstrate the role of disturbances in the normal microflora of the genital tract in premature termination of pregnancy.

Coxsackievirus and miscarriage: possible mechanisms

A high risk of vertical transmission of enteroviruses, primarily Coxsackie viruses, has been established in the presence of spontaneous miscarriages, stillbirths, and complications such as threatened miscarriage in the mother.
