Abortion - termination of pregnancy

Abortion is the termination of pregnancy before the gestation period of 28 weeks. The fruit at this time is still unviable. Abortion can occur spontaneously or it is produced artificially. Spontaneous abortion occurs without medical intervention for one reason or another and occurs in 5-15% of pregnancies.

Most often, after a pregnancy test or an abortion has been performed, the pregnancy test continues to show a positive result. The fact that after the abortion test shows pregnancy, is explained by the fact that the level of the hormone hCG is still high enough, and it will hold on at this level for some time.

The reasons for abortion in early pregnancy

The cause may be illness of the mother or the fetus. It can be an acute infectious disease (rubella, malaria, typhoid, influenza, etc.) or a chronic disease (tuberculosis, syphilis, toxoplasmosis).

Spontaneous abortion can also occur if a woman has kidney problems, severe heart disease, hypertension, endocrine disorders. Sometimes this is due to the incompatibility of the mother and fetus according to the Rh factor, the woman's poisoning with mercury, nicotine, alcohol, manganese and so on.

Among other things, this or that disease of the sexual sphere of a woman can lead to abortion - inflammatory processes, tumors, infantilism. Reduced content of vitamin A and E, chromosomal abnormalities, mental trauma can also cause miscarriage.

Abortion with ectopic pregnancy

Sometimes it happens that a fetal egg is implanted in the wall of the uterine tube, before it reaches the uterus. This pregnancy is called ectopic and it is extremely dangerous for a woman, as it can lead to rupture of the tube and profuse internal bleeding into the abdominal cavity. Ectopic pregnancy is stopped artificially. Different methods are used for this, depending on the specific case.

Abortion inside the fallopian tube is a procedure that facilitates the detachment of the embryo from the wall of the tube. Further, the embryo enters either the abdominal cavity or remains in the tube. The abortion process includes surgical intervention and subsequent rehabilitation of a woman under the supervision of a gynecologist. This is necessary in order to increase the likelihood of becoming pregnant after an abortion and after an ectopic pregnancy .

Abortion with a stiff pregnancy

In itself, a frozen pregnancy is a failed abortion (abortion). That is, the fetus perishes and for some reason lingers in the uterus sometimes for 5-8 days. The reasons for this phenomenon are similar to those described above for abortion.

Frozen pregnancy requires urgent medical intervention and removal of the deceased fetus from the uterus, as it threatens to infect the woman's blood. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to independently recognize a frozen pregnancy, a frozen pregnancy, especially in the early stages does not feel the tremors of the child to judge their intensity and general availability. A cessation of symptoms, such as nausea, swelling of the mammary glands, can be perceived simply as the end of the period of toxicosis.

Often the frozen pregnancy ends in a spontaneous miscarriage. By means of contractions, the uterus expels the deceased fetus, after which several more days the woman has spotting spotting from the genital tract.

In the case when spontaneous abortion does not occur, this requires the development of an individual tactic of behavior, which the gynecologist is engaged in. Whatever it was, with the proper treatment and rehabilitation of a woman, there is every chance of getting pregnant again and bearing a healthy baby.
