Second, the whole process of missed abortion surgery

1. Before the operation: do routine examination of leucorrhea: mainly to rule out gynecological inflammation. When a woman is pregnant, the acidity and alkalinity of the vagina will be unbalanced, the immunity will decrease, and vaginitis is very likely to occur. The uterus that nurtures the fetus is connected to the vagina through the cervical canal. If necessary examinations and treatments are not performed before the artificial abortion operation, pathogens may be brought directly into the uterine cavity, leading to various inflammations.

2. Intraoperative Position: The patient takes the lithotomy position, undergoes routine vulva and vaginal disinfection, and is covered with sterile drapes and leg covers. The surgeon performs a bimanual examination to review the size and position of the uterus and the condition of both adnexa. Disinfection: Expose the cervix with a vaginal speculum and disinfect the cervix with 2.5% iodine and 75% alcohol. Uterine probing: Use a cervical clamp to secure the upper lip of the cervix. Send the probe along the direction of the uterine body to the fundus of the uterus to understand the size of the uterus.

3. After surgery: send tissue for examination.

1. Mental stress: Expectant mothers are overly nervous about the fetus during pregnancy and are always in a state of anxiety, panic, sadness, etc.

2. Environmental factors: During pregnancy, mothers are often exposed to chemicals such as formaldehyde, lead, and ethylene oxide. Therefore, expectant mothers should not go to newly renovated houses or construction sites, and should not wear nail polish.

3. Bad habits: Excessive smoking, alcoholism, excessive coffee and heroin consumption before or after pregnancy can lead to missed abortion. Therefore, women who hope to have children must stay away from these bad habits.

4. Maternal factors: If the expectant mother has a disease that has not been cured, it may also lead to missed abortion. For example: reproductive organ abnormalities, uterine tumors, herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, etc.
