Patient's question:
Is there a difference between miscarriage and induced abortion? With this condition, the whole family is very worried. What should be done to alleviate it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described, miscarriage and induced abortion are different. Miscarriage can be divided into spontaneous abortion and induced abortion. Spontaneous abortion refers to the situation where the embryo or fetus is expelled from the mother's body due to some reason. After the first trimester of pregnancy (28 weeks), if there are reasons related to the mother or fetus, artificial methods are used to induce uterine contractions to end the early pregnancy, which is called induced abortion. Miscarriage includes induced abortion, and there are many types of miscarriage, such as threatened miscarriage, inevitable miscarriage, incomplete miscarriage, and complete miscarriage. Miscarriage and induced abortion are both harmful to the body, so pregnant women should undergo thorough pre-pregnancy examinations and nutritional care to ensure the health of the fetus. Wishing you good health.
