About Miscarriage

A miscarriage, also known as a spontaneous abortion, is the natural loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week of gestation. It is a common occurrence, affecting many pregnancies. An Obstetrician-Gynaecologist (OB-GYN) manages this process, which can be expectant (allowing nature to take its course), medical (using medication to help complete the miscarriage), or surgical (performing a procedure to remove pregnancy tissue). The goal of medical management is to ensure the miscarriage is complete to prevent infection or excessive bleeding, provide emotional support, and guide future reproductive planning. Timely and compassionate care from a specialist is crucial for both physical recovery and emotional well-being.

Key Highlights

    Provides definitive management to complete a non-viable pregnancy and prevent complications.Offers multiple approaches (expectant, medical, surgical) tailored to individual patient circumstances and preferences.Performed by a specialist (OB-GYN) to ensure safety and appropriate follow-up care.Helps prevent serious risks like infection (sepsis) or prolonged, heavy bleeding.Facilitates emotional closure and allows for counseling regarding future pregnancy planning.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Confirmed non-viable pregnancy (e.g., missed miscarriage, blighted ovum).
  • 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.
