What are the differences between missed abortion and ordinary abortion?

Many pregnant mothers will feel happy when they find out they are pregnant, but they will also be a little nervous, always afraid that the fetus in their belly will be affected and an accident will happen. Although they are extra careful, they cannot guarantee that there will be no accidents. In life, there are also many women who have unexpected pregnancies due to lack of protection, and they are not prepared for this unexpected baby. When this happens, many people will choose surgery to solve this problem. There are also many opinions about abortion. Now let’s talk about the differences between missed abortion and ordinary abortion.

1. Symptoms of missed abortion

1. Amenorrhea and early pregnancy reactions. Maybe you had symptoms of threatened miscarriage some time ago, but your uterus no longer grows or even shrinks. If it is the second trimester, the pregnant woman does not feel her abdomen enlarged, there is no fetal movement, and gynecological examination shows that the cervix is ​​closed, the uterus is more than 2 months smaller than the gestational month, and the texture is not soft. The fetal heartbeat was not heard.

2. Abdominal pain: In early miscarriage, after the bleeding begins, there is blood in the uterine cavity, especially blood clots, which stimulate uterine contraction and cause persistent lower abdominal pain. In late miscarriage, there is paroxysmal uterine contraction first and then placental detachment, so there is abdominal pain before vaginal bleeding.

3. The color of the blood: The blood is bright red at the beginning of miscarriage and turns into dark red or brown over time. The blood is often light red or brown in small amounts in ectopic pregnancy; and dark red in hydatidiform mole.

2. Common abortion symptoms

1. Bleeding symptoms. The symptoms after abortion will vary depending on the individual's physical condition. There will generally be bleeding symptoms. This is because after the placenta is separated during abortion, there may be a small amount of bleeding on the wound left on the uterine wall. In this case, as the uterus contracts and the wound repairs, vaginal bleeding will gradually stop in 3-5 days and will not exceed 10-15 days at most. However, if it lasts more than 15 days and the amount of bleeding exceeds the menstrual volume, it is abnormal and you should go to the hospital in time to find out the cause.

2. There is brown discharge. There will be brown discharge after an abortion. This is because the surface of the uterus is traumatized and the wound slowly heals. The membrane that falls off the wound is brown. This process usually takes about three days. After it is clean, pay attention to the color and amount of the leucorrhea to avoid other inflammations after the operation.

3. Mild abdominal pain. You may experience mild lower abdominal discomfort, pain, or a small amount of vaginal bleeding on the day after the abortion. If the abdominal pain is severe or the vaginal bleeding is heavy or lasts for a long time, you should seek medical attention in time.
