Patient's question:
A woman is 25 years old this year. My boyfriend and I just got married. We had sex recently with safe measures, but I don't know what happened, yet I'm pregnant. I want to have an abortion. I would like to know if a missed miscarriage can be done with painless anesthesia?Doctor's answer:
Missed miscarriage is a type of miscarriage, generally not performed under anesthesia because it is primarily a treatment conducted after fetal demise. The conventional approach is medication-induced abortion, which is not suitable for anesthesia. If the medication abortion is incomplete, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure may be performed with local anesthesia. There are many treatment methods for this condition, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach also differs. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to seek professional medical evaluation as soon as possible for detailed testing to determine the appropriate treatment.
