Can a stillbirth be aborted painlessly?

Pregnant women often experience extreme emotional fluctuations when they discover that a dead fetus has occurred in their body. Stillbirth is a relatively common condition, and it is difficult for pregnant women to accept it after it happens. If stillbirth occurs in the early stages of pregnancy, timely treatment should be given and the fetus should be removed from the pregnant woman's body. To avoid infection from other diseases, but everyone's physical health is different. Can a dead fetus be aborted painlessly?

Can a stillbirth be aborted painlessly?

If a pregnant woman discovers that the fetus is dead during a prenatal check-up, surgery is required to remove it. So, can a dead fetus be aborted painlessly? If the fetus stops developing, an abortion operation needs to be performed in time, but whether an abortion can be performed depends on how long the pregnancy is. If the time is too long and the fetus is too large, an induced abortion will be required. Therefore, a comprehensive judgment is needed to decide what type of surgery to perform.

Painless abortion is a type of artificial abortion. The best time to perform painless abortion is within 35-50 days of pregnancy. At this time, the operation will cause less harm to the body and the surgical risk is lower.

It is important to rest well after surgery. In clinical practice, it is common to encounter girls who start having sex less than a month after surgery as long as there is no vaginal bleeding, which results in ascending infection of the reproductive system and leads to acute pelvic inflammatory disease. After the operation, there may be uterine adhesions, endometriosis, endocrine disorders, irregular menstruation, and long-term secondary infertility. Even if pregnancy occurs, there may be repeated spontaneous abortions, premature births, abnormal placental position, and other life-threatening situations for mother and child. As a woman, you must learn to protect yourself, strictly practice contraception, and carefully choose painless abortion surgery.

What to do if painless abortion is incomplete

Incomplete abortion may occur during abortion. To avoid incomplete abortion, the operator must understand the signs of complete uterine suction, such as the uterine wall still feeling smooth, the uterine cavity is wide, and there is still active bleeding. If the aspirated material is found to be broken or the aspirated material is smaller than that in the month of amenorrhea, the possibility of incomplete abortion should be considered. If the aspirated material is too little and no villi or other tissues can be found with the naked eye, the specimen should be sent for pathological examination.

If conditions permit, blood can be drawn after the operation for radioimmunoassay of human chorionic gonadotropin. If the miscarriage is indeed incomplete, if B-ultrasound confirms that the placenta or embryonic sac tissue has been detached and there is not much vaginal bleeding, uterotonic agents, Chinese medicine Shenghua Tang, etc. can be used to expel it. If the placental tissue has not yet been detached and vaginal bleeding is heavy, a curettage is generally required, and antibiotics or other anti-inflammatory drugs are given before and after the operation to control the infection. Severe infections should be treated as septic incomplete abortions.
