What happens during the disease - unspecified abortion : incomplete, complicated by embolism
Unspecified abortion is a medical condition in which a pregnancy is terminated before the fetus is viable. this can be due to a variety of causes, including infection, trauma, or genetic abnormalities. incomplete abortion occurs when the fetus and/or placental tissue is not completely expelled from the uterus. complications can occur when the remaining tissue becomes infected, leading to embolism, which is a blockage of a blood vessel due to the presence of a foreign object. this can cause severe damage to the surrounding tissue and can even lead to death.
