Patient's question:
I was pregnant for three months when I experienced abdominal pain and went for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was a retained miscarriage. I want to know why it happened. What treatment is needed for a retained miscarriage? What should I pay attention to after a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Miscarriage usually indicates that the fetus has stopped developing and will not expel the products of early pregnancy for one to two months. Generally, people believe that there may be symptoms of early miscarriage. The missed labor can be detected through ultrasound. The main reason for incomplete miscarriage is usually the cessation of fetal growth, and many of the causes are still unclear, possibly due to embryonic developmental abnormalities. Possible causes include chromosomal abnormalities, TORCH infections, sperm abnormalities, and hormonal deficiencies. It is recommended to undergo thorough examination before the next pregnancy. However, if the fetus remains in the mother's body for less than two months and cannot be expelled on its own, it is called an incomplete miscarriage.
