Which of the following is listed as a cause of habitual abortion?

• A. Ovarian issues
• B. Uterine malformations
• C. Cervical conditions
• D. Infections

Answer: (A)

Repeated pregnancy loss can arise from several different problems, and the hormonal environment supplied by the ovaries is one of the key factors. Ovarian issues can disrupt progesterone production or the luteal phase, so the endometrium may not stay receptive or supportive enough to carry a pregnancy to term. When the hormonal support is inadequate, early pregnancy losses can occur repeatedly, which is why ovarian dysfunction is listed as a cause of habitual abortion.

Other options reflect legitimate but different causes: uterine malformations create a structurally challenging environment for implantation or growth; cervical conditions lead to incompetence and inability to maintain pregnancy, especially later on; infections can trigger miscarriage through inflammatory or infectious processes.
