Zusammenfassung
Wiederholte Spontanaborte (RSA: „recurrent spontaneous abortions“) sind als pathologische Entität zwar nicht häufig, für die betroffenen Frauen/Paare jedoch immer traumatisierend, unter anderem wegen der quälenden Ungewissheit des Wieso und Warum. Sehr ähnlich ist das beim wiederholten Implantationsversagen (RIF; „repetitive implantation failure“) im Rahmen von ART-Behandlungen. Und gar nicht so selten kommt es bei RIF-Patientinnen, wenn dann doch einmal eine Schwangerschaft eintritt, zu einem Abortgeschehen.
