Miscarriage is the end of pregnancy before the 20th week of pregnancy. It is estimated that one out of every five pregnant women will get lost. Most miscarriages occur within the first 12 weeks.

More than 60% of spontaneous abortions are the result of chromosomal errors during the division of fertilized eggs or in the embryonic stage, due to agents such as X-rays, viral infections, chemical poisoning. .

About 15% are due to trauma, infection, malnutrition, diabetes, thyroid defects or anatomical anatomy in the mother (open cervix, uterine uterus, fibroids) too big. In the remaining cases, the cause of the miscarriage is unknown.

Symptoms of miscarriage include vaginal bleeding with abdominal pain.

Miscarriage is divided into the following categories:

Threatening miscarriage : Often with vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain, but the fetus is still alive and not pushed out of the uterus. The cervix remains closed, or opens, but the components of the fetus have not been expelled. If the patient continues to have bleeding and abdominal pain, the components of the pregnancy are passing through the cervical canal (the vaginal opening), which is considered an inevitable miscarriage.

Certainly a miscarriage : A miscarriage can certainly be complete (all the fetus and the placenta are removed for a while, then the abdominal pain is gone, but the blood can continue to leak like menstruation) and not completely (a part of the fetus and the placenta remains in the uterus; although the abdominal pain has lessened, the vaginal blood still flows continuously, even with a hemorrhage).

Pregnancy : A case of a dead fetus that remains in the uterus but has not been pushed out. The retention time can last for weeks, months but the symptoms of pregnancy disappear, there is black blood in the sound

How to manage when threatened with miscarriage or miscarriage

When pregnant with abdominal pain or bleeding, you need to see a doctor right away at obstetric and ultrasound clinics to determine the pregnancy status.

If there are signs of threatened miscarriage, need to rest at bed, abstain from labor, abstain from intercourse, should eat soft, easily digested foods, avoid constipation and take medicine as directed by a doctor.

If you have been treated like this but still have a lot of blood or have more abdominal pain, you must go to the hospital to determine the pregnancy, the pregnancy status and from which the doctor will decide to continue the treatment or stop the pregnancy.

For stillbirths, it is not advisable to wait for spontaneous abortion but to terminate the pregnancy because of possible coagulopathy complications.
