O03: Spontaneous abortion

O03.5: Spontaneous abortion : complete or unspecified, complicated by genital tract and pelvic infection

During pregnancy, a child develops inside your uterus. In the case of a miscarriage the child, not yet fully developed, is prematurely expelled from the womb. There can be various reasons for a miscarriage. It may be that the child has not developed properly and died in the womb. It may also be that other reasons caused the miscarriage and the child died immediately afterwards.

You have inflamed genital organs or tissue in your pelvis. These inflammations can be caused by pathogens. Inflammations of the genital organs or other tissue in the pelvis can cause a miscarriage. But inflammations such as these can also occur after a miscarriage.
