What is spontaneous abortion?

Spontaneous abortion refers to termination of pregnancy before 28 weeks of gestation when the fetus weighs less than 1000 grams.

Spontaneous abortion may be related to abnormal development of the embryo itself, such as chromosomal abnormalities. In addition to embryonic factors, maternal health also plays a key role. For example, endocrine disorders, such as thyroid dysfunction, luteal insufficiency, etc.; Uterine abnormalities, including uterine malformation, intrauterine adhesions, etc.; immune factors, infection factors, etc. may lead to spontaneous abortion.

Some spontaneous abortions may be manifested as a small amount of vaginal bleeding and mild abdominal pain, and then the embryo gradually discharged; while some may appear more serious symptoms such as massive bleeding, severe abdominal pain, and even shock performance.

After spontaneous abortion, attention should be paid to bleeding to ensure complete expulsion of embryonic tissue. If necessary, curettage may be required. At the same time, attention should be paid to rest and nutrition to allow the body to recover as soon as possible. For women with recurrent spontaneous abortion, further detailed examination is needed to clarify the cause and targeted treatment measures are taken to improve the success rate of subsequent pregnancies.
