Hello, I had a misscariage 2 days ago. I had the scan which showed no visible yolk sac and no visible amniotic sac . Could you tell me what could be the causes for these ? Also would ve be possible to do tests of the blood and conception product I ve passed in order to find out what happen or to avoid another misscariage? thank you.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic and sorrry for your loss.

the results on the scan indicate that the miscarriage was complete, there are no remaining products of conception.
There are different reasons that a miscarriage can occur and it can also vary according the trimester that the miscarriage occurs.
In early pregnancy it is often due to genetic abnormalities.Other possible causes include:infection, enviromental hazards,incompetent cervix, hormonal problems, smoking , alcohol use,diabetes,some medication, inadequate nutrition, kidney disease, heart disease.
You may want consider speaking to your doctor to determine if he or she knows the reason for the miscarriage, in some women the exact reason is never known.

I hope this helps and wish you the best
