What are the types of miscarriage?

Everyone is familiar with the word "abortion". I believe many female friends have also experienced miscarriage, but everyone may not have a clear understanding of miscarriage. In fact, miscarriage is not as simple as we think. There are many types of miscarriage. Today, the editor will learn with everyone what types of miscarriage there are.

1. Threatened abortion refers to a small amount of vaginal bleeding before 28 weeks of pregnancy, followed by paroxysmal lower abdominal pain or back pain. Gynecological examination shows that the cervix is ​​not open, the fetal membrane is not ruptured, the products of conception have not been discharged, and the size of the uterus is consistent with the number of weeks of amenorrhea. The pregnancy is likely to continue. After rest and healing, if the bleeding stops and the lower abdominal pain disappears, the pregnancy can continue. If the amount of vaginal bleeding increases or the lower abdominal pain worsens, it may progress to inevitable abortion.

2. Inevitable miscarriage means that miscarriage is inevitable. It is an evolution from threatened miscarriage. Now the amount of vaginal bleeding increases, the paroxysmal lower abdominal pain worsens, or vaginal discharge (rupture of membranes) appears. Gynecological examination shows that the cervix is ​​dilated, sometimes the embryonic tissue or fetal sac can be seen blocking the cervix, and the size of the uterus is consistent with the number of weeks of amenorrhea or slightly smaller.

3. Incomplete abortion refers to the fact that the products of pregnancy have been partially discharged from the body, but some are still left in the uterine cavity, which is a progression from inevitable abortion. Because some products of pregnancy are left in the uterine cavity, it affects the contraction of the uterus, leading to continuous uterine bleeding, and even hemorrhagic shock due to excessive bleeding. Gynecological examination shows that the cervix has been dilated and blood is constantly flowing out of the cervix. Sometimes placental tissue can be seen blocking the cervix or some products of pregnancy have been discharged into the vagina, while some are still left in the uterine cavity. Usually the uterus is smaller than the number of weeks of amenorrhea.

4. Almost complete abortion means that all the products of pregnancy have been expelled, vaginal bleeding has gradually stopped, and abdominal pain has gradually disappeared. Gynecological examination shows that the cervix has closed and the uterus is close to its normal size.
