What Are The Reasons For Incomplete Abortion?
Incomplete Abortion is an abortion in which some of the products of conception (the fetus, placenta, and/or membranes) are retained in the uterus. Some of the causes of incomplete abortion include:
Early medical chemical abortion (using medication): The fetus may not have passed completely from the uterus due to an incorrect dose of medication or due to a low dosage of the drugs.
Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA):
MVA is a type of surgical abortion in which a vacuum device is used to remove the contents of the uterus.
Incomplete abortion may occur if the procedure is not performed correctly.
Trauma: Uterine trauma can occur during labor or delivery, or due to a medical procedure such as a D&C (dilation and curettage), which can result in the uterus not being able to expel the products of conception.
Infection: Infection of the uterus can interfere with the uterus's ability to expel the products of conception.
Underdeveloped Fetus: A fetus that is not fully developed may not be able to pass through the cervix and out of the uterus.
Uterine abnormalities: Abnormalities in the shape or size of the uterus can make it difficult for the fetus to pass out of the uterus.
