What does missed miscarriage mean?

1. Missed abortion is a special case of abortion, also known as missed abortion, which refers to the embryo or fetus that has died and is retained in the cavity without being discharged naturally in time. It is manifested by the disappearance of early pregnancy reactions, symptoms of threatened abortion, or no symptoms at all. The uterus no longer enlarges, but shrinks. If it reaches the second trimester, the pregnant woman's abdomen no longer enlarges and fetal movements disappear. Gynecological examination shows that the cervix is ​​closed, the uterus is smaller than the month of amenorrhea, the texture is not soft, and the fetal heartbeat cannot be heard.

2. It is difficult to treat missed abortion because after a missed abortion, the placental tissue or the embryonic tissue is ossified and tightly adhered to the uterine wall, making curettage difficult.

3. Because late-stage abortions can last for a long time, it can lead to abnormal coagulation function and cause severe bleeding. Therefore, it is recommended to be hospitalized for drug treatment for missed abortions. Before drug treatment, be sure to check blood routine, platelet and coagulation function, and be prepared for blood transfusion. During the abortion process, closely observe uterine contractions, vaginal bleeding, and the discharge of the embryo or fetus. Once the amount of vaginal bleeding is heavy, active treatment should be given, and curettage or clamping can be performed if necessary.
