Patient's question:
Patient Age: Currently 45 days pregnant, with a 0.70.4 cm gestational sac on the right uterine angle. There has been a discharge of dark brown-colored fluid in the past two days. At 49 days, an abdominal ultrasound showed the gestational sac to be too small. Could it be considered a possible missed miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Dilation and curettage (D&C), also known as scraping the uterus, is the most commonly used method for early induced abortion.Advice: If there is a missed miscarriage, a D&C procedure is necessary to prevent residual tissue from affecting menstruation and future pregnancy. D&C procedures are generally performed under anesthesia (painless D&C), and conventional methods are rarely used. Although D&C does not require surgery, it is still a gynecological procedure that must be conducted under strict sterilization conditions. It is recommended to undergo the procedure at a reputable hospital.
