    Spontaneous abortion affects 10% of pregnancies. Thorough evaluation can identify causes, with human chorionic gonadotrophin therapy considered for specific cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Obstetrics
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • Spontaneous abortion complicates approximately 10% of all pregnancies.
    • Identifying and treating the causes of abortion is crucial for reproductive health.
    • Lesser-known factors contributing to abortion require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the diagnostic approach for spontaneous abortion.
    • To highlight less recognized causes of recurrent pregnancy loss.
    • To evaluate the therapeutic role of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) in specific abortion cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Comprehensive review of medical literature on spontaneous abortion.
    • Emphasis on detailed patient history and physical examination.

  • Inclusion of biochemical and biological investigations for etiological diagnosis.

    • Main Results:

    • Thorough clinical assessment is key to identifying abortion causes.
    • Certain under-recognized factors play a significant role in pregnancy loss.
    • Human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) therapy shows potential in selected instances.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective management of spontaneous abortion relies on meticulous diagnostic workup.
    • Addressing less common etiological factors can improve outcomes.
    • Human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) may be a viable treatment option for specific patient groups.
