A missed abortion, also known as a missed miscarriage, occurs when the embryo or fetus stops developing but is not expelled from the uterus. This condition can be emotionally distressing and requires careful management to ensure the health and well-being of the individual. At Aashakiran IVF, led by Dr. Asmita Mahla, we provide compassionate care and support for individuals experiencing missed abortions, offering expert guidance and treatment options tailored to their needs.

Understanding Missed Abortion: A missed abortion typically occurs during the first trimester of pregnancy and may be identified during routine ultrasound examinations. In some cases, there may be no signs or symptoms of miscarriage, leading to the term “missed” abortion. Common signs and symptoms may include vaginal bleeding or spotting, cramping, and a lack of fetal movement or heartbeat.

Causes of Missed Abortion: Several factors can contribute to the occurrence of a missed abortion, including:

  1. Chromosomal Abnormalities: Genetic abnormalities in the embryo or fetus are a common cause of early pregnancy loss, including missed abortions.
  2. Maternal Health Conditions: Underlying health conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, or autoimmune diseases may increase the risk of miscarriage.
  3. Uterine Abnormalities: Structural abnormalities of the uterus or cervix can affect pregnancy outcomes and may contribute to missed abortions.
  4. Hormonal Imbalances: Fluctuations in hormone levels, particularly progesterone, estrogen, and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), can impact the development of the embryo and pregnancy viability.

Diagnosis and Management: Diagnosis of a missed abortion is typically confirmed through ultrasound imaging, which may reveal an empty gestational sac or lack of fetal heartbeat. Management options may include:

  1. Expectant Management: In some cases, the body may naturally expel the nonviable pregnancy tissue over time without intervention. Close monitoring and follow-up care are essential to ensure the completion of miscarriage.
  2. Medication: Medications such as misoprostol may be prescribed to help induce uterine contractions and facilitate the passage of pregnancy tissue.
  3. Surgical Intervention: If expectant or medical management is not successful or appropriate, a surgical procedure called dilation and curettage (D&C) may be performed to remove the remaining pregnancy tissue from the uterus.
