O03.0: Spontaneous abortion Incomplete, complicated by genital tract and pelvic infection

You are having or you had a miscarriage.

During pregnancy, a child develops inside your uterus. The placenta usually provides the child with nutrients and oxygen in the womb. In the case of a miscarriage the child, not yet fully developed, and the placenta are 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.

Residual tissue from the child or from the placenta is still in your womb after the miscarriage.

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.
