How to have a miscarriage when pregnant

Nowadays, people are having sex at an earlier and earlier age. If they fail to take proper self-protection measures, it can easily lead to unwanted pregnancy. If the child cannot be kept, the best solution is abortion. However, for various reasons, many people are unwilling to go to the hospital for abortion, but are concerned about some self-abortion methods. So, how can you have an abortion when you are pregnant? Let’s take a look below.

There are many cases of spontaneous abortion after pregnancy, but most of them are caused by women's physical conditions. If it is your personal wish and there is no physical problem, the idea of ​​having a natural abortion is not practical. Because in general the embryo is healthy and has no abnormalities, it will not miscarry naturally. If women do not want children, they can go to the hospital for medical abortion or painless abortion surgery at an appropriate time. This is a relatively safe approach.

Spontaneous miscarriage is natural and uncontrolled, and it cannot be artificially caused. Some women also use medication to induce abortion at home. Although this method can abort the fetus, the risks are very high. Medical abortion must be performed within 49 days of pregnancy and with the permission of a doctor, and under the supervision of an experienced doctor, because medical abortion sometimes does not occur completely and requires another curettage operation.

Is medical abortion better or surgical abortion better?

Is surgical abortion better or medical abortion? First, you should understand the relevant knowledge about medical abortion and surgical abortion before making a decision. The key step in abortion is to remove the embryo from the uterus through surgery or medication.

Characteristics of medical abortion

1. Time for medical abortion: Medically speaking, it should be within 49 days after menstruation.

2. Suitable population for medical abortion: It can be used by women who have been diagnosed with intrauterine early pregnancy by clinical, pregnancy test and B-ultrasound examinations; it can also be used by early pregnant women who have concerns about suction abortion or have had abortion syndrome, or those who may have difficulty with negative pressure suction abortion.

3. Harms of medical abortion:

For medical abortion, there is an incomplete abortion rate of about 3% and a continued pregnancy rate of about 1%;

Side effects of the drug, such as early pregnancy reaction, gastrointestinal reaction, nausea and discomfort, etc.; vaginal bleeding lasts longer, averaging 14 to 15 days;

Possibility of infection: If the patient does not pay attention to vulvar hygiene, or has sexual intercourse too early after medical abortion, it may cause genital inflammation, manifested as abdominal pain, fever, vaginal bleeding, foul-smelling vaginal discharge, increased white blood cell count, incomplete uterine involution, tenderness in the uterus and appendages, etc.

Characteristics of abortion

1. Time of abortion: Abortion can be performed within 14 weeks of pregnancy, while induced labor is required after 14 weeks. However, the best time for abortion is generally between 35 and 50 days after menopause, because at this time the uterus is not too large, there is not too much pregnancy tissue, and the fetus is also small, making it easy to suction out, the operation time is short, and there is less bleeding.

2. The hazards of abortion:

Artificial abortion causes cervical damage, which can easily lead to habitual abortion and premature birth in subsequent pregnancies;

The damage to the endometrium and myometrium during artificial abortion leads to placental dysfunction after each pregnancy, which seriously affects fetal development and is prone to stillbirth and premature birth.

If infection occurs after abortion, it will cause inflammation of the reproductive system, and in severe cases, it will lead to infertility;

If a woman becomes pregnant again after artificial abortion and curettage, postpartum hemorrhage is likely to occur due to placental blood circulation disorders.

Therefore, medical abortion and surgical abortion each have their advantages and disadvantages, and the specific choice depends on personal circumstances.
