Patient's question:
Why does fetal demise occur? I had a biochemical miscarriage for no reason last October, and again this December. The hospital diagnosed it as a missed miscarriage. Why is this happening?Doctor's answer:
Painless abortion involves the use of short-acting intravenous anesthetic during the uterine aspiration procedure to induce general anesthesia, ensuring the patient does not feel any pain during the surgery. This significantly reduces the risk of various complications such as uterine perforation, incomplete aspiration, missed aspiration, and post-abortion syndrome, which may occur due to the pregnant woman's anxiety, fear, restlessness, or struggle during the procedure. This makes the surgery safer and smoother.Abortion can be harmful to the body. Having an abortion is equivalent to undergoing a postpartum recovery period. If the fetus is not developed for many days, after an ultrasound examination, it is recommended to choose medication abortion, as it causes the least harm to the body (provided the abortion is complete; if not, a follow-up uterine aspiration may be necessary). If a direct aspiration abortion is performed, it can cause greater harm to the uterus. After an abortion, it is advisable to eat more nutritious foods and avoid spicy and cold foods.
