Causes of miscarriage

The main causes of miscarriage are associated with problems in the hormonal sphere of women, metabolic features and immune disorders.

In addition, infectious diseases, the anatomical abnormalities of the reproductive organs and various congenital diseases play an important role in the mechanism of the development of this pathology. Often, the reasons lie in the unhealthy image of a woman and her bad habits, as well as in bad ecology, which can lead to impaired development of the fetus.

At the same time, specialists admit that in almost half of cases of spontaneous termination of pregnancy, the true causes of miscarriage can not be clarified.

Herpes and habitual miscarriage of pregnancy

Genital herpes is one of the most frequent human infections. Most researchers believe that the true frequency of the herpes simplex virus in women is not known, since the share of assimptomatic forms and virus carrying is high.

Cytomegalovirus infection with habitual miscarriage

Intrauterine infection with cytomegalovirus infection is the most frequent among other infections and occurs in 0.4-2.3% (on average in 1%) of all newborns, although this figure varies widely among different populations.

Infectious causes of miscarriage

The question of the etiological role of infection is widely debated in the literature. Some researchers believe that infection is one of the most significant causes of miscarriage, both sporadic and habitual, while others believe that for sporadic interruption, perhaps infection plays a role, and for the usual - no.

Hyperprolactinaemia, as the cause of miscarriage

According to many researchers, in the case of hyperprolactinemia, infertility is observed precisely because of its effect on steroidogenesis and an excess of androgens, but if the pregnancy has occurred, then its course usually proceeds without significant complications.

Hyperandrogenism as the cause of miscarriage

Among the hormonal disorders that lead to miscarriage, a very large place is occupied by hyperandrogenism - a pathological condition caused by changes in the secretion and metabolism of androgens.

Endocrine causes of miscarriage

Even 20 years ago, we believed that the most frequent reason for miscarriage is endocrine disruption in the mother's body, and the most common cause was called ovarian hypofunction.

Genetic causes of miscarriage

In connection with the use of genetic research methods, there are significant opportunities for expanding the understanding of the genesis of spontaneous abortion.

Socio-biological factors of miscarriage

Socio-biological factors significantly affect the course of pregnancy and therefore may be associated with miscarriage. Many researchers link miscarriages to their place of residence.
