Pathology
• Haemorrhage into the decidua basalis.• Necrotic changes in the tissue adjacent
to the bleeding.• Detachment of the conceptus.• The above will stimulate uterine
contractions resulting in expulsion.

DIAGNOSIS
• Threatened abortion– Positive UPT– Intrauterine pregnancy– Viable fetus
• Incomplete abortion• Positive UPT• Product of conception in-situ• Non viable fetus
7We
Care• Complete abortion– Positive UPT– Absent product of conception
• Ectopic pregnancy– Positive UPT– USG confirmation– Product of conception absent in uterus
• Molar pregnancy– Positive UPT– Typical USG findings
7We
Care
Management of Threatened Abortion
• Advise woman to avoid strenuous activity and sexual intercourse; bed rest not necessary
• If bleeding stops, follow up in antenatal clinic. Reassess if bleeding recurs
• If bleeding persists, assess for fetal viability.
7We
Care

Incomplete Abortion
• If bleeding light to moderate, use fingers or ring (or sponge) forceps to remove products of conception protruding through cervix
• If bleeding heavy, evacuate uterus:
– Manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) is preferred method
– If evacuation not immediately possible, give ergometrine OR misoprostol
7We
Care
48
Incomplete Abortion
• Infuse oxytocin 40 units in 1 L IV fluids at 40 drops/min. until expulsion of products of conception occurs
• Evacuate any remaining products of conception from uterus by dilatation and curettage
• If necessary, give misoprostol 200 µg vaginally every 4 hours until expulsion
7We
Care
49
Management of Complete Abortion
• Evacuation of the uterus usually not necessary
• Observe for heavy bleeding
• Ensure followup of woman after treatment
7We
Care
Follow up After Abortion
• Tell woman that spontaneous abortion is common
• Reassure woman that chances for subsequent successful pregnancy are good
• Encourage her to delay next pregnancy until completely recovered
• Advise on contraception
7We
Care
Immediate Management of Molar Pregnancy
• If diagnosis is certain, evacuate uterus:
– If cervical dilatation is needed, use a paracervical block– Use vacuum aspiration (MVA preferred)
• Infuse oxytocin 20 units in I L IV fluids at 60 drops per min.
