O06.5: Unspecified abortion Complete or unspecified, complicated by genital tract and pelvic infection
You are having, or you had, a miscarriage or a terminated pregnancy.
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.
The termination of a pregnancy involves the pregnancy being terminated through external measures.
As a result of the miscarriage or termination, genital organs or tissue in your pelvis have become inflamed. These inflammations can be caused by pathogens.
