Explanation

Spontaneous incomplete abortion is a term used in medicine to describe a situation where a pregnancy ends on its own, but not all of the pregnancy tissue is expelled from the body. This usually happens within the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. It's called "spontaneous" because it happens naturally, without medical intervention, and "incomplete" because some of the pregnancy tissue remains in the body.
