Biochemical abortion, biochemical pregnancy or microabortion is a fairly early gestational loss. Implantation of the embryo occurs, but the embryo stops developing soon after. When this happens, the woman experiences bleeding similar to menstruation, which is often confused.
Among the possible causes of biochemical abortion are the following:
- Genetic alterations in embryos.
- Malformations in the uterus.
- Hormonal alterations.
- Infections of the female reproductive tract.
In addition, an inappropriate lifestyle, such as smoking or drinking alcohol, can also be a reason for microabortion.
