What are the causes of missed abortion and what should be paid attention to after missed abortion?

Many women are unfamiliar with missed abortion. Missed abortion is actually a miscarriage that is overdue or stillbirth. The embryo has not been automatically expelled from the mother's body after 1-2 months of normal development. The main reason for this situation is closely related to abnormal uterus, immune function, endocrine function, etc. during pregnancy. Only by doing relevant examinations regularly during pregnancy can missed abortion be avoided.

Abortion is generally referred to as spontaneous abortion. Although abortion can be divided into many types, the most harmful one is missed abortion. This type of abortion mainly refers to the fetus having embryonic arrest but not being expelled from the mother in time. Missed abortion needs to be treated in time, otherwise the dead fetus will stay in the uterus for too long, which may induce other complications. So, what is the cause of missed abortion?
1. Causes of missed abortion
1. Uterine abnormalities <br/>Both the internal environment and the overall environment of the uterus may affect the embryo. The internal environment is the endometrium. If it is too thin or too thick, it will affect implantation. About 15%-120% of miscarriages are caused by uterine defects such as intrauterine adhesions. Intrauterine adhesions are caused by trauma or infection, which causes adhesions or fibrosis in the uterine cavity, hindering normal decidualization and placental implantation.
2. Immune dysfunction <br/>There is a complex and special immunological relationship between the fetus and the mother, so the embryo will not be rejected. However, if the immune system of both parties is not compatible, the mother will reject the fetus and cause miscarriage.
3. Endocrine abnormalities <br/>Such as uncontrolled severe diabetes, luteal insufficiency, hypothyroidism, etc., can induce missed abortion
2. Precautions after missed abortion
1. Proper rest <br/>After a miscarriage, you should rest well. After a missed miscarriage, you should pay attention to proper rest, preferably in bed. Generally, you should rest in bed for 3 to 5 days after the operation. If your body temperature is normal, there is little bloody secretion from the vagina, and there is no abdominal pain or other discomfort, you can get up and move around.
2. Increase nutrition <br/>Because surgery will cause a small amount of bleeding and cause some damage to the body, you should promptly supplement with foods rich in protein and vitamins such as lean meat, fresh fish, eggs, milk or soy products. Eat more high-protein and high-vitamin foods to nourish the body, and eat more vegetables and fruits at the same time, and do not avoid certain foods or eat a partial diet.
3. Pay attention to personal hygiene <br/>Keep the vulva clean. It is not suitable to take a bath in a tub within two weeks after surgery. It is best to take a shower. Because the wound surface of the endometrium is left, the vaginal secretions increase, making it a hotbed for bacterial infection and reproduction. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the vulva, and the vulva should be cleaned in a timely manner. The toilet paper should be disinfected and replaced frequently.
