Patient's question:
A cousin, her first child is only one year old, and then she finds out she is pregnant again. Because she is the only one taking care of the child at home, she doesn't want to have a second child so soon and has to decide to have an abortion. The consent form states it is a missed miscarriage procedure. She wants to ask the doctor if a missed miscarriage procedure is safer?Doctor's answer:
General missed miscarriage still poses risks, and it is recommended to rest more. If the child's growth and development are poor, a miscarriage may be necessary. However, it is still advisable to be actively admitted to the hospital for close observation before considering a miscarriage. After a miscarriage, it is important to closely monitor bleeding and discharge. There may be minimal peeling within a week, but it is essential to pay attention to underwear exposure and avoid extremely cold foods. It is also recommended to use contraception for future sexual activity.
