THE SPERM<br \/>\n}}<\/p>\n<p>A lot of people believe that miscarriage is primarily the woman\u2019s fault, but this isn\u2019t so. Sperm DNA fragmentation is also a huge cause of miscarriage; it happens when strands of sperm DNA are broken and unable to deliver DNA to the eggs.<\/p>\n<p>{{2. HORMONES}}<\/p>\n<p>Hormones could also lead to miscarriage; progesterone, luteal phase defect, hypothyroidism and diabetes are some hormonal problems that could cause miscarriage.<\/p>\n<p>{{3. GENETIC ABNORMALITIES}}<\/p>\n<p>For majority of miscarriages that happen, genetic abnormalities are a major reason. According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), for approximately 5 percent of women who have recurrent loss, the reason in 50 percent of those cases isn\u2019t clear.<\/p>\n<p>Chromosomal abnormalities like cystic fibrosis, Down syndrome and Turner syndrome could cause miscarriage.<\/p>\n<p>{{4. INFECTIONS}}<\/p>\n<p>Infections could also cause miscarriage. Mycoplasma infections that happen in the lining of the uterus can lead to miscarriage.<\/p>\n<p>{{5. HARD DRUGS, SMOKING AND ALCOHOL}}<\/p>\n<p>Using hard drugs, smoking and alcohol can cause miscarriage. According to a study published in the Fertility and Sterility journal, women exposed to high levels of toxic chemicals are 83 percent more likely to have a miscarriage than women with lower levels.<\/p>\n<p>{{6. OBESITY}}<\/p>\n<p>Research has found that women who are obese have an increased risk of miscarriage.<\/p>\n<p>{{7. ABNORMALITIES OF THE UTERUS}}<\/p>\n<p>This is another common cause of miscarriage in pregnant women. Septum for example, is an extra piece of tissue on the uterus that doesn\u2019t have the same type of blood supply as the rest of the uterus; this could cause miscarriage.<\/p>\n<p>Fibroid can also cause miscarriage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Pregnancy is an important stage in a woman\u2019s life, and it\u2019s also important to know vital information about the subject.} Miscarriage in women also has causes and it\u2019s something every woman and her partner should know. {{1.
