What are the dangers of not treating threatened abortion?

Pregnancy is the most important event in a woman's life. During this period, there will be problems of all sizes, and miscarriage is undoubtedly the most worrying. Have you heard of threatened miscarriage? This is the beginning stage of miscarriage. Many people do not pay attention to it, so what are the dangers of not treating threatened miscarriage?

Threatened abortion refers to a situation in which there are symptoms of miscarriage, but after treatment to preserve the fetus, the pregnancy may not continue to full term. It often occurs in the early stages of pregnancy. Many expectant mothers do not pay much attention to the dangers of threatened abortion, and therefore lack of care measures, leading to accidents.

Threatened abortion has the following two major hazards:

1. Heavy blood loss

Sometimes, miscarriage or incomplete miscarriage can cause severe blood loss or even shock. Therefore, it should be treated actively. Various measures can be taken at the same time. Intravenous or intramuscular injection of oxytocin or posterior pituitary hormone 10U. Try to give the patient a blood transfusion. In the absence of a blood bank, medical staff or their families can be mobilized to donate blood. If blood is really not available for the time being, dextran can be temporarily dripped intravenously. At the same time, curettage is performed. After the fetal tissue is removed, the bleeding often stops. Even if there is an infection, large pieces of fetal tissue should be removed. Then, conditions should be actively created for blood transfusion.

2. Infection

All types of abortion can be complicated by infection, and it occurs more frequently in incomplete abortion. Infection often occurs when abortion is performed with instruments that have not been strictly sterilized; the instruments damage the cervix; or there are original infection lesions in the uterine cavity, which can cause the spread of infection after surgical abortion or spontaneous abortion. In addition, not paying attention to hygiene after abortion (natural or artificial abortion), premature sexual intercourse, etc. can cause infection. Infectious pathogens are often a variety of bacteria, mixed infections of anaerobic and aerobic bacteria. In recent years, various reports have shown that anaerobic bacteria account for the majority, up to 60-80%. The infection can be confined to the uterine cavity, or it can spread to the periphery of the uterus, forming salpingitis, salpingo-oophoritis, pelvic connective tissue inflammation, and even beyond the reproductive organs to form peritonitis and sepsis. Patients have chills and fever, abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, sometimes foul-smelling secretions, tenderness of the uterus and appendages, poor uterine involution, leukocytosis and other inflammatory manifestations. In severe cases, septic shock may occur.

Therefore, it is recommended that expectant mothers should pay attention to rest and avoid excessive fatigue in the early stages of pregnancy, avoid having sex in the first three months of pregnancy, and try to avoid contact with toxic and harmful physical and chemical substances in order to avoid the occurrence of threatened abortion.
