Patient's question:
I am 55 days pregnant and have vaginal coffee-colored discharge again. Abdominal ultrasound shows no gestational sac, while transvaginal ultrasound reveals an intrauterine echo-free area measuring approximately 85, with no visible yolk sac, embryo, or ancient cardiac. The doctor has confirmed it as a missed miscarriage. Missed miscarriage, painless abortion, and medication abortion? High-quality collection.Doctor's answer:
The decision between surgical abortion and medication abortion depends on the gestational age. Medication abortion can be considered if the pregnancy is within 8 weeks, but there may be a risk of incomplete abortion.Recommendation: After 8 weeks, surgical abortion should definitely be considered. This is because, after 8 weeks, the placenta gradually develops and adheres tightly to the uterine wall, making it difficult to detach and increasing the risk of incomplete abortion, excessive bleeding, and infection.
However, both methods can be harmful to the body. If spontaneous abortion is successful, medication abortion causes less damage.
