What is an inevitable abortion?
In medicine, the term abortion refers to the interruption of premature pregnancy due to any source, whether spontaneous or intentional. Spontaneous abortions, also known as abortions, occur in up to 15 percent of pregnancies. An inevitable abortion is a situation where vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, convulsions and cervical dilatation and eventually lead to abortion. Once the cervix has been expanded, it is unlikely that any medical intervention would prevent the loss of pregnancy. The passage of large blood clots or vagina tissue also indicates inevitable abortion.
Many factors contribute to inevitable abortions. In the first trimester of pregnancy 90 percent of abortions from genetic or chromosomal abnormalities. Mothers' diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, lupus and infections also increase the likelihood of abortion. The use of tobacco, alcohol or other illicit drugs can prevent fetal growth and development, leading to spontaneous loss of pregnancy. ANDFinally, anatomical abnormalities in the mother's uterus, hormonal problems and immunological factors can be more than 50 percent of abortions in the second trimester.
The assessment of inevitable abortions includes pelvic examination, during which the doctor observes the cervix to assess the extent of expansion and thinning that occurred. The abdomen or vaginal ultrasound can determine whether the development of the child is suitable for its estimated age and whether it still has a heart rhythm. In addition, the doctor will perform several blood tests such as complete blood count, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and the number of white blood cells to evaluate the amount of blood or infection loss present and whether pregnancy is still viable. A serious decrease in HCG levels suggests that the body has ceased to produce hormone that is essential to maintain pregnancy.
Once inevitable abortion proceeds to complete abortion, excluded material can beEl to verify that the whole placenta came out of the mother's body. If part of the fetus or placenta remains inside the uterus, the mother has an increased risk of excessive bleeding or infection. Vacuum aspiration of the uterus content, also called dilatation and cureta (D&C), may be necessary to prevent these complications. In addition, the chromosomal composition of fetal tissue can be analyzed to determine whether a genetic defect caused abortion.
