Spontaneous Abortion Treatment

Treatment for threatened abortion varies from restrictions on some forms of exercise to complete bed rest. Abstaining from intercourse is usually recommended until signs have disappeared.

In the event of spontaneous abortion, the tissue passed from the vagina should be examined to determine the source of the tissue (fetal vs. hydatidiform mole) and if any fetal tissue remains in the uterus (incomplete abortion).

Missed abortions that do not abort naturally and incomplete spontaneous abortions may require surgical removal of retained tissue (D and C procedure). Any further vaginal bleeding should be carefully monitored.
