Hi,
The causes of missed abortion are not fully known. About 50 percent of miscarriages happen because the embryo has the wrong number of chromosomes.
Sometimes, miscarriage may be caused by a uterine problem, such as scarring.
You may be at higher risk for missed miscarriage if you have an endocrine or an autoimmune disorder, or are a heavy smoker. Physical trauma can cause a missed miscarriage as well.
If you have a missed miscarriage, your doctor likely won’t be able to pinpoint a reason.
In a missed miscarriage, the embryo simply stops developing and there’s usually no clear explanation. Stress, exercise, sex, and travel do not cause miscarriage, so it’s important not to blame yourself.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
