Although everyone is familiar with abortion, they know how to take measures for contraception and how to take care of themselves after an abortion. However, it may not be clear which types of miscarriage are classified. In order to better protect your body and have a clear understanding of abortion, today we invite experts to briefly introduce the types of natural abortion for everyone.
In general, in addition to abortion, natural abortion can be divided into three types: threatened abortion, inevitable abortion, and incomplete abortion.
Type 1: threatened abortion
If threatened miscarriage occurs in a timely manner and the doctor's instructions are followed for safe abortion and rest, it is possible to continue the pregnancy. The common symptoms of threatened abortion are: before 28 weeks of pregnancy, a small amount of vaginal bleeding first appears, followed by paroxysmal lower abdominal pain or back pain, gynecological examination shows that the cervical opening is not open, the fetal membrane is not broken, pregnancy products are not discharged, the size of the uterus is consistent with the number of weeks after menopause, and there is hope for continuation of pregnancy.
If the bleeding and lower abdominal pain do not stop after rest and treatment, but become more severe, this situation may develop from threatened miscarriage to inevitable miscarriage, and the fetus cannot be saved.
Type 2: Inevitable miscarriage
As the name suggests, this type of miscarriage cannot be avoided, as it develops from threatened miscarriage. The main symptoms are an increasing amount of vaginal bleeding, exacerbation of paroxysmal lower abdominal pain, or vaginal discharge (rupture of membranes). Gynecological examination shows that the cervical opening has expanded, and sometimes embryonic tissue or fetal sac can be seen obstructing the cervical opening. The size of the uterus matches or is slightly smaller than the number of weeks after menopause.
Type 3: Incomplete miscarriage
This type of miscarriage has no room for redemption and can only be treated with a curettage surgery, otherwise it will affect future pregnancy. Incomplete miscarriage refers to a portion of pregnancy products that have been expelled from the body. A portion remains in the uterus, which is due to the inevitable development of miscarriage.
After incomplete abortion, a curettage surgery must be performed, otherwise the pregnancy products left in the uterus will affect the normal contraction of the uterus, leading to continuous bleeding and even hemorrhagic shock due to excessive bleeding. Gynecological examination shows that the cervical opening has expanded and blood is constantly flowing out of the opening. In some cases, placental tissue can be seen obstructing the cervical opening or some pregnancy products have been discharged from the vagina, while some remain in the uterine cavity. Generally, the uterus is smaller than the number of weeks after menopause.
Experts warn that pregnancy is a very important thing for both men and women, and even for both families. Not only women need to take responsibility for pregnancy, but men also need to take corresponding responsibilities and take care of their wives. Only in this way can we effectively prevent miscarriage. If it's not time to have a child, then it's important to take proper contraceptive measures. If you always have an abortion, it can cause great pain to women.
