What is abortus Imminens?

What is abortus Imminens?

Abortus imminens is diagnosed as first trimester vaginal bleeding with closed cervix and confirmed with fetal heart rate on ultrasound (3,4). Doppler confirmation of fetal cardiac activity is reassuring as it indicates that bleeding is not related to fetal demise.

What is the meaning of inevitable miscarriage?

Inevitable miscarriage refers to unexplained vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain during early pregnancy. Signs and Symptoms: Bleeding is heavier than with a threatened miscarriage and abdominal cramps more severe.

What is the missed abortion?

A missed abortion is a nonviable intrauterine pregnancy that has been retained within the uterus without spontaneous abortion. Typically, no symptoms exist besides amenorrhea, and the patient finds out that the pregnancy stopped developing earlier when a fetal heartbeat is not observed or heard at the appropriate time.

Is threatened miscarriage common?

Miscarriage is common. Small falls, injuries or stress during the first trimester of pregnancy can cause threatened miscarriage. It occurs in almost one half of all pregnancies.

How is spontaneous abortion diagnosed?

Ultrasonography is helpful in the diagnosis of spontaneous abortion, but other testing may be needed if an ectopic pregnancy cannot be ruled out. Chromosomal abnormalities are causative in approximately 50 percent of spontaneous abortions; multiple other factors also may play a role.

What is the difference between a miscarriage and a spontaneous abortion?

The U.S. medical community most often defines miscarriage (also called spontaneous abortion) as the spontaneous loss of a nonviable, intrauterine pregnancy before 20 weeks gestational age (GA), while stillbirth (also called fetal death and intrauterine fetal demise) describes this event at ≥ 20 weeks GA.

How is inevitable abortion treated?

Inevitable and incomplete abortions are typically treated surgically with suction D&C. A septic abortion requires broad spectrum antibiotic therapy prior to a suction D&C, if possible without delaying the D&C.

Are blighted Ovums common?

Blighted ovum refers to an “anembryonic gestation” — a pregnancy that begins to grow in the absence of an embryo. This results in early miscarriage. It is extremely common, occurring in up to 20 percent of known pregnancies. The diagnosis of blighted ovum was made because you had an ultrasound exam.

How does the uterus heal after miscarriage?

Even though the pregnancy will not continue, caring for the body is still essential for healthy miscarriage recovery. Hydration, good nutrition, light exercise, and sleep will help the body heal. Consider trying a new physical activity that brings you joy or allows for an emotional release, such as boxing.
