Is there a difference between missed miscarriage and incomplete abortion?

Patient's question:

What is the difference between missed miscarriage and incomplete abortion? In May, I was diagnosed with incomplete abortion and underwent a D&C procedure. Now I am pregnant again. Do I need to be put on bed rest?

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: If a missed miscarriage is not detected in time, it can develop into a missed abortion. It is recommended that you undergo timely examination and treatment.
Medical Advice: It is best to wait for three months before attempting to conceive again. Since you are already pregnant, regular prenatal check-ups are sufficient. In necessary cases, timely HCG and progesterone tests should be conducted to assess hormone levels and determine if bed rest treatment is required.
