- Incomplete miscarriage where some pregnancy tissue remains, causing persistent bleeding or risk of infection.
- Heavy, uncontrollable vaginal bleeding (hemorrhage).
- Signs of infection in the uterus (septic miscarriage).
- Patient preference for a managed and predictable conclusion rather than waiting for a natural miscarriage.
How to prepare
- Confirmation of non-viable pregnancy via ultrasound and blood tests (hCG levels).
- Discussion with the OB-GYN about all management options (expectant, medical, surgical) and their risks/benefits.
- Pre-operative blood tests to check for anemia and infection if a surgical procedure (D&C) is planned.
- Emotional and psychological preparation, which may include counseling or support resources.
- Arranging for support and transportation home, especially if sedation or anesthesia is used.
Risks & possible complications
- Heavy bleeding (hemorrhage) requiring further treatment or blood transfusion.
- Infection of the uterus (endometritis).
- Incomplete evacuation of pregnancy tissue, requiring a repeat procedure.
- Injury to the cervix or uterus (perforation), though rare with experienced surgeons.
- Adverse reaction to anesthesia or medications used.
- Emotional and psychological distress, including grief and depression.
- Asherman's syndrome (intrauterine adhesions) potentially affecting future fertility, a rare risk of surgical curettage.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Vaginal bleeding and cramping are normal for 1-2 weeks; use sanitary pads, not tampons.
- Rest is advised for the first 24-48 hours, with a gradual return to normal activities as tolerated.
- Avoid sexual intercourse, swimming, and baths for at least 1-2 weeks or as advised by your doctor.
- Follow-up appointment is crucial to ensure the miscarriage is complete via ultrasound or exam.
- Watch for warning signs: fever, chills, foul-smelling discharge, severe pain, or bleeding that soaks more than one pad per hour.
- Emotional recovery is vital; seek support from loved ones, counselors, or support groups.

Ayaan Ali, 32, is a software...
Ayaan Ali, 32, is a software engineer who emigrated from Pakistan with his wife, Fatima, two years ago. They had been trying to conceive for 18 months. At 10 weeks pregnant, Fatima experienced severe cramping and heavy bleeding. An ultrasound in the Emergency Department confirmed a missed miscarriage; the embryo had stopped developing at 8 weeks. The on-call OB/GYN, Dr. Chen, explained the options. Due to the risk of infection and the emotional distress of waiting, Ayaan and Fatima chose a surgical management (D&C). The procedure under light sedation was physically straightforward. Fatima's physical recovery was quick, with bleeding subsiding within a week. Emotionally, Ayaan felt a profound responsibility to be strong for Fatima while privately grieving the loss of their dream. After the procedure, they found solace in a local support group for pregnancy loss, which helped them process their grief together and feel less isolated in their new country.
