Is threatened abortion expensive?

Among the patients who consult every day, many are concerned about the cost of treating threatened abortion. There are many factors that affect medical expenses, and there is essentially no very standard number. So is the cost of threatened abortion expensive? Let me give you an answer based on this question.

First of all, if we want to understand the cost of treatment, we must first understand the treatment methods for threatened abortion:

Western medicine treatment of threatened abortion

1. General treatment

If threatened abortion occurs, pregnant women should pay attention to rest, reduce activities, refrain from sexual life, avoid unnecessary vaginal examinations, reduce stimulation to the uterus, and avoid excessive mental stress, otherwise it will cause abortion. After the bleeding stops, it is best to rest for two weeks before returning to work. This treatment method for threatened abortion is suitable for female friends with mild symptoms of threatened abortion.

2. Drug treatment

Progesterone can ensure embryonic development, maintain pregnancy, inhibit uterine smooth muscle contraction, and reduce uterine tension. In the early stages of pregnancy, progesterone can be used to maintain pregnancy, or intramuscular injection of human chorionic gonadotropin can be used for treatment (because this hormone can stimulate corpus luteum function). In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, sedatives and beta-blockers can be used to reduce mental stimulation and inhibit uterine contractions. In addition, oral vitamin E is also beneficial for maintaining embryonic development.

TCM treatment of threatened abortion

Traditional Chinese medicine can treat according to syndrome differentiation: for kidney deficiency, use Cuscuta, mistletoe, donkey-hide gelatin, and Dipsacus asper. For trauma, Xiao Chaihu Decoction can be used to treat threatened abortion with additions of Angelica, Bupleurum, Raw Astragalus, Cimicifuga root, mistletoe, donkey-hide gelatin, and Dipsacus asper.

There are essential differences between Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of threatened abortion, so the cost of treating the same type of threatened abortion is different, which depends on the hospital's charging standards. As for the cost of treatment, it also depends on the severity of the patient's condition and the length of the treatment cycle. Generally, the cost of treating threatened abortion in a city's tertiary hospitals is generally between 2200 and 5000.

In fact, there are many factors that affect the cost of treating threatened abortion. It is determined based on the local hospital's charging standards, income and consumption levels, the patient's illness severity and the chosen treatment methods. Therefore, if patients want to know the specific treatment costs, they can consult the hospital they visit. As for the question of whether it is expensive or not, this depends on the patient's consumption concept. Regular hospitals charge strictly in accordance with regulations and will not set prices arbitrarily.
