What are the differences between biochemical pregnancy and spontaneous abortion?

Some women always have to go through some hardships in the process of preparing for pregnancy. Most women can successfully become pregnant and give birth, but a small number of people are experiencing the pain of miscarriage, such as spontaneous abortion, ectopic pregnancy, biochemical pregnancy, etc. Some people can't distinguish these types of miscarriage, so what are the differences between biochemical pregnancy and spontaneous abortion?

1. Definition of spontaneous abortion <br/>Most spontaneous abortions refer to abortions that occur naturally. According to the length of pregnancy, they are divided into early abortion and late abortion. Early abortion refers to abortions within 12 weeks of pregnancy, and late abortion refers to abortions between 12 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. The causes of spontaneous abortions are mostly chromosomal abnormalities, corpus luteum insufficiency, thyroid disease, etc.
2. Definition of biochemical pregnancy <br/>Biochemical pregnancy usually refers to the situation where the sperm and egg fail to implant successfully after combination, and develop into a dead fetus. It is often manifested as HCG positive and no gestational sac is seen on B-ultrasound. Biochemical pregnancy does not cause much harm to the body. During biochemical pregnancy, it is very similar to menstruation, and the amount of bleeding is similar to menstruation. It can basically be drained out in about 10 days.
3. Precautions for spontaneous abortion

1. Some women can have a complete miscarriage within 3-7 days after a miscarriage, while a small number of women need a second uterine curettage because the miscarriage is not complete. It is best to go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound check as soon as possible about one week after a miscarriage to check whether a gestational sac exists and treat the symptoms according to the examination results.
2. After a miscarriage, you should refrain from sexual intercourse for one month and from becoming pregnant within six months. You should take protective measures at ordinary times to try to avoid such incidents from happening again.
3. After a miscarriage, you should pay attention to getting more rest, eat a light diet, avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods, and eat more high-protein foods to supplement your nutrition, such as fish, shrimp, meat, eggs, etc.
4. Precautions for biochemical pregnancy
1. Most biochemical pregnancies do not require uterine curettage. After a biochemical pregnancy occurs, you should pay more attention to your vaginal bleeding. If the amount of bleeding is similar to the normal menstrual volume, you don’t have to worry. After one or two weeks, go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound check. If the amount of bleeding is heavy, it is best to go to the hospital for a targeted examination to rule out other lesions.
2. After a biochemical pregnancy, you are prohibited from having sex and from getting pregnant within three months. You should maintain good private hygiene and keep it clean and odor-free. If there are any abnormalities, it is best to see a doctor in time.
Whether it is biochemical pregnancy or spontaneous abortion, it will cause certain harm to women. It is recommended to pay more attention to your physical condition. If there are any adverse reactions, it is best to seek medical attention in time.
