When threatened miscarriage occurs, it is necessary to use medications to sustain the pregnancy. Commonly used medications include the following types: The first type is progesterone medications, which have the effects of stabilizing the uterus and suppressing the immune system; the second type is estrogen medications, which can promote the proliferation of the endometrium, providing a favorable environment for the implantation and growth of the gestational sac; third, traditional Chinese medicine formulations, which also have the effects of stabilizing the uterus, promoting the development of the gestational sac, and reducing bleeding. In addition, it is necessary to conduct examinations based on the symptoms of threatened miscarriage to determine if there are any abnormalities in coagulation indicators. If the threatened miscarriage is caused by abnormal coagulation indicators, anticoagulant medications can be used for treatment.

Can threatened miscarriage be treated with medical abortion?

Threatened miscarriage only indicates signs of a potential miscarriage and does not necessarily result in a spontaneous miscarriage. During a threatened miscarriage, medication can be used to preserve the embryo. If one does not wish to continue the pregnancy upon signs of a threatened miscarriage, intervention can be managed like a normal miscarriage. In early pregnancy, if one chooses to have an abortion, there are two methods available: medical abortion and surgical abortion, which are not significantly different from each other. For the majority of typical women, medical abortion is an option during a threatened miscarriage, though it is notably painful and can be prolonged. Patients must be clearly informed about the specific procedures and drawbacks. Surgical abortion, on the other hand, tends to be simpler and less painful.

How long should one rest for a threatened miscarriage?

During the occurrence of threatened miscarriage, it is generally necessary to rest in bed for a week. During this period, medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor to preserve the pregnancy, and prenatal follow-up visits should be made at the hospital. There is abdominal pain or spotting during a miscarriage, but it has not yet progressed to the extent of miscarriage, so treatment to preserve the pregnancy can be administered. Additionally, emotional stability should be maintained during pregnancy preservation, avoiding stimulating the patient, ensuring rest, enhancing nutrition, and maintaining genital hygiene. Furthermore, during the pregnancy preservation period, one should rest in bed as much as possible and avoid activity.

How long should one stay in bed for a threatened miscarriage?

Threatened miscarriage, as the name implies, is the appearance of signs of miscarriage, such as lower abdominal pain, bleeding, and a feeling of heaviness. For threatened miscarriage, it is appropriate to choose bed rest for treatment, but absolute bed rest is not necessary during threatened miscarriage. Prolonged bed rest is not always beneficial for the recovery of a woman’s health. Being bedridden for a long time can cause constipation, prevent vaginal bleeding from being expelled, and lead to mental stress. It is generally recommended to get out of bed for light activities during the day, aside from normal sleeping hours. Simple, light activities will not worsen the miscarriage. Generally, after a threatened miscarriage, it is advised to rest in bed for 3-5 days at most, and during this period, it is necessary to get out of bed intermittently.
