Will threatened miscarriage affect life expectancy?

Pregnancy is a happy thing, but many pregnant women may experience threatened miscarriage, which is very dangerous. If not diagnosed and treated in time, it may terminate the pregnancy, and some may even harm the adult. So will threatened miscarriage affect life expectancy?

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.

However, threatened abortion has the following two major complications.

1. Heavy blood loss

Sometimes, miscarriage or incomplete miscarriage can cause severe blood loss or even shock. Therefore, active treatment should be given. Various measures can be taken at the same time. Intravenous or intramuscular injection of oxytocin or vasopressin 10U. Try to give the patient a blood transfusion. If there is no blood bank, medical staff or their families can be mobilized to donate blood.

2. Infection

All types of abortion can be complicated by infection, which is more common in incomplete abortions. Infection often occurs when abortion surgery is performed with instruments that have not been strictly sterilized; when instruments damage the cervix; or when there is an original infection in the uterine cavity, which can cause the infection to spread 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 with foul-smelling secretions, tenderness of the uterus and appendages, poor uterine involution, leukocytosis and other inflammatory manifestations. In severe cases, septic shock may occur.

Threatened abortion has a great impact on people, and pregnant women themselves will be more worried. In fact, threatened abortion can be recovered as long as active treatment and care are provided, and pregnant women can live as long as normal people, and it will not affect people's life span.
