Is it necessary to perform uterine curettage for delayed abortion?

Pregnancy itself is a happy thing, but many people need to have an abortion for various reasons, such as spontaneous abortion, overdue abortion, etc., which are very likely to cause incomplete abortion. If the residue of incomplete abortion is relatively small, it can be helped to be discharged by taking ovulation-promoting drugs, but if the residual tissue is relatively large, it is usually necessary to perform uterine curettage in time, otherwise it will cause uterine infection. Is uterine curettage necessary for overdue abortion?

Is it necessary to perform uterine curettage for delayed abortion?

Postponed abortion is usually prone to incomplete abortion, so uterine curettage is required.

What are the symptoms of incomplete medical abortion?

1. Normal menstrual bleeding, in addition to blood, also contains some shed endometrium. If the shed endometrium is in relatively small fragments and mixed with the blood, it will not be very obvious. However, if the shed endometrium is larger, you will see things like "blood clots" or "lumps of meat", which is a normal phenomenon.

2. Incomplete medical abortion often causes symptoms such as lower back and abdominal pain, prolonged bleeding time, and heavy bleeding. If there is too much residual tissue, problems such as heavy bleeding and infection may occur. If an incomplete miscarriage is suspected after a miscarriage, a careful examination of the uterus, especially the two corners of the uterus, can generally determine whether the miscarriage is incomplete.

The difference between complete and incomplete miscarriage

In fact, a complete miscarriage means that all the products of conception have been expelled and vaginal bleeding gradually decreases to stop; while an incomplete miscarriage means that when a woman has a miscarriage, only the fetus and part of the placenta are expelled, while the entire placenta or part of the placenta is still attached to the uterine wall, causing the uterus to not contract well, resulting in heavy vaginal bleeding. Obviously, the difference between the two lies mainly in whether all the products of conception are expelled.

After an incomplete miscarriage, some toxic substances may be squeezed into the pregnant woman's body, which is very dangerous for the pregnant woman. During the follow-up examination, certain measures must be taken to eliminate these wastes. If they remain in the pregnant woman's body, it will leave a health burden.

1. What are the symptoms of miscarriage?

The first symptom of miscarriage is bleeding, which refers to vaginal bleeding. It usually occurs within twelve weeks of pregnancy. At this time, the blood sinuses will open and the vagina will begin to bleed. If this symptom is not treated in time, the final result may be inevitable miscarriage. The second symptom is extreme abdominal pain. In the late pregnancy, you will first feel paroxysmal pain, followed by placental detachment, and finally vaginal bleeding.

2. How to prevent miscarriage

In the early stages of pregnancy, you must get more rest, avoid working too hard, and avoid contact with highly radioactive substances and toxic chemicals. During pregnancy, pregnant women must pay attention to their nutritional supplements and eat more nutritious fruits and vegetables. The more critical point is that you must be careful when using medications. Some medications are prohibited for pregnant women during pregnancy. Be sure to ask your doctor for advice when taking medications.
