About Miscarriage
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.
- Emotional recovery is vital; seek support from loved ones, counselors, or support groups.
- Discuss future pregnancy plans and timing with your OB-GYN at your follow-up visit.
