Study Notes

Types of Abortions

Spontaneous Abortion: Also known as a miscarriage; occurs without known cause or external intervention.
Missed Abortion: The fetus dies while still in the uterus, necessitating surgical removal, typically via dilation and curettage (D&C).
Incomplete Abortion: Involves partial expulsion of the fetus and placenta, leaving some tissue in the uterus, often requiring a D&C for complete removal.
Threatened Abortion: Characterized by uterine bleeding without contractions or cervix dilation; the pregnancy may still continue successfully.
Induced Abortion: The deliberate evacuation of the fetus and placenta initiated at the mother's request or due to health risks posed to the mother.
Complete Abortion: All products of conception, including fetus and placenta, are fully expelled from the uterus.
