Can hidden abortion be clean? What should I do if hidden abortion has occurred?

Hidden miscarriage (disappearance of the fetus) refers to miscarriage after a pregnancy without the patient's knowledge. Because of its hidden nature, many women are unaware of it even if it happens. So, can hidden miscarriage be a clean abortion? Let's take a look at what the experts say, hoping it will be helpful to everyone.

Can hidden abortion be clean?

Whether the hidden abortion is complete or not requires examination. After the abortion, the doctor will usually check the sucked out tissue to see if the amount of tissue is consistent with the size of the gestational sac indicated by the ultrasound. If it is inconsistent, it is necessary to check whether the abortion is incomplete or missed. If necessary, a B-ultrasound review can also be performed after the operation to detect incomplete abortion or missed abortion and deal with it in time.

After a hidden miscarriage, you can take another pregnancy urine test. If it is still positive, you must take a blood test for human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG), or directly do a blood β-hCG test. The level of β-hCG in the blood is more accurate than the qualitative test of urine test. This can determine whether your current blood β-hCG level is still higher than the level when you are not pregnant, and you can understand the specific quantitative level.

If the β-hCG level in the blood test is higher than the non-pregnant level, it can be considered abnormal. The next step is to have a vaginal B-ultrasound examination, which can determine whether there is tissue residue in the uterine cavity. If the blood β-hCG level is abnormal and the vaginal B-ultrasound examination shows that there is tissue residue in the uterus, it can be diagnosed as incomplete abortion.

What to do if hidden miscarriage has occurred

1. It is recommended to do an ultrasound examination to see the situation first. You can go to the hospital for examination when the bleeding is less. Generally, the bleeding time after abortion may be around 10-15 days. If there is bleeding after more than 20 days, the possibility of residual blood cannot be ruled out.

2. After a miscarriage, you should wait for 6 months before getting pregnant again. You should not have sex within one month after a miscarriage and pay attention to preventing infection. Use antibiotics routinely as prescribed by your doctor.

3. Before the next pregnancy, you should undergo routine gynecological examinations and eugenics examinations to ensure normal conception. There are many reasons for hidden miscarriage. If it is a chromosomal abnormality, this situation may still occur in the future, but if it is other problems, you will generally be able to conceive normally, or after examination, some problems can be treated and conceived normally, so don't worry too much.

Experts say that because the process of "hidden abortion" does not have much impact on the endometrium, women who experience this usually have their periods as scheduled and are completely unaware of it, let alone taking it seriously and taking relevant preventive measures.
