O08.5: Metabolic disorders following abortion and ectopic and molar pregnancy
You have a metabolic disorder after the premature ending of your pregnancy.
This type of premature end to pregnancy may involve a miscarriage or a hydatidiform mole (molar pregnancy), for example. A hydatidiform mole is when a child fails to form a fertilized egg cell, and a benign tumor develops instead. It may also be a case of a pregnancy that failed to develop in the normal area inside the womb.
The body produces energy from food. Furthermore, the body makes construction material from food, for instance to repair or construct tissue. This is also called metabolism. The metabolism is influenced by various messenger substances.
With a metabolic disorder, there may be too few or too many of particular substances in the body. Such substances may be electrolytes or chemical messengers. A number of the body’s functions can then be disrupted. It is also possible that certain substances form incorrectly. When substances are incorrectly formed they do not carry out their function properly.
