title: [Recurrent abortion. Analysis of the subject and report of a personal case study].
abstract: The author presents the clinical course of twenty-two (22) women with history of recurrent abortions seen in his private practice in the last 15 years. The study includes the details of the obstetric history, the etiologic factor and the results obtained in this group of women who shared common reproduction problems. It is shown that in our midst the predominant etiologic factor was hormonal and that it was difficult to confirm the presence of a genetic factor. The varied therapy used in those patients involved a basic aspect which was the use of hormonal therapy as an adjunct to the different medico-surgical approaches used. The results obtained are analyzed and it is shown that pregnancy was achieved in 21 patients, with varied results. In three (3) patients, recurrent abortions occurred (without a live birth) and in one, no pregnancy was achieved.
