What should I do if a woman naturally miscarries an empty sac?

Patient's question:

I was fine at that time, and the doctor said it was a bit early to test. After that check, I thought everything was okay. Around 40 days, I had spotting and experienced a miscarriage, which then naturally miscarried. During the miscarriage, half of the gestational sac and the umbilical cord were stuck in the vagina and couldn't come out.

Doctor's answer:

Carrying an empty sac means there is no embryo or fetal heartbeat, indicating that the embryo has stopped developing. There is no need for pregnancy preservation in this case; the pregnancy should be terminated. Over half of early miscarriages are caused by chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo, primarily manifesting as vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain after conception.
After being diagnosed with an empty sac pregnancy, it is essential to undergo an early artificial abortion to prevent potential infections or harm to the mother. While the timing of spontaneous miscarriage varies among individuals, it is generally recommended to visit a hospital for a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure to avoid any interference with future fertility.
Seek professional medical advice from a qualified doctor at a reputable hospital for comprehensive examinations and accurate diagnosis. Strictly follow the prescribed medication and treatment plan to avoid missing the optimal window for timely intervention.
