Reproductive losses
losses at all stages of fetal development, the causes of which were termination of pregnancy, stillbirth, as well as death of children in the first year of life. As a rule, pregnancy losses are the consequence of not one, but a whole complex of causes acting simultaneously or sequentially. Some factors that can contribute to reproductive losses are:
1) genetic abnormalities in the development of the embryo;
2) extragenital (endocrine disorders, pathological immunological processes) and gynecological diseases of the mother (uterine pathologies, chronic infectious and inflammatory diseases of the reproductive system);
3) the impact of environmental factors.
According to a number of researchers, in about 50% of cases, the cause of pregnancy loss remains unknown.
