What is the difference between a delayed abortion and a missed abortion?

There is generally no difference between delayed abortion and missed abortion. The two belong to the same disease, just with different names. The correct name is missed abortion.

Missed abortion, also known as overdue abortion, is usually a type of spontaneous abortion when the fetus is retained in the uterine cavity for several days or weeks after death and is not discharged naturally in time. Missed abortion is usually caused by various factors, such as abnormal chromosomes of the fetus, severe infection, genital abnormalities, endocrine abnormalities, etc., which will cause the fetus to stop developing. Patients usually experience symptoms such as disappearance of early pregnancy reactions, vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, etc. The patient does not have any symptoms, but the embryo is not discharged naturally after the fetus stops, and may be retained in the uterine cavity.

Missed abortion requires examination at the hospital. After diagnosis, curettage can usually be used to expel the embryonic tissue, thereby reducing the impact on the body. You can go to a regular medical institution for treatment. During the recovery period, you should also pay attention to rest more and strengthen nutritional supplements to promote the body's recovery as soon as possible.
