Failed Abortion Treatment in Bangalore

Introduction

When a woman goes through an abortion, either medical or surgical, the pregnancy tissues formed inside the uterus are being removed. Once the tissue gets removed or expelled, the uterus goes back into its normal condition. If any tissue is left behind at all, it may cause bleeding or pain, and sometimes it leads to infection. This is known as an incomplete or failed abortion. 

At Revive Hospitals, Bangalore, we have a dedicated team guided by Dr Snehalatha that is committed to helping patients who have had failed abortions with safe and effective management steps. Our hospital has advanced diagnostic facilities to understand the complications or the actual issue faced by the patient. With expert care and support, we make sure you get the proper treatment on time and recover from the difficulties completely.

Causes of Failed Abortion

An incomplete abortion or a failed abortion occurs when the pregnancy tissue remains inside the uterus even after the abortion procedure. There are many reasons that contribute to this condition. Understanding the causes of a failed abortion is important to get medical assistance on time.

Surgical Failure

• Surgical abortion is done if the pregnancy is beyond 12 weeks, when medical abortion (with medicines) is not possible. Surgical abortion is usually done through different procedures like D&C (dilation and curettage) or MVA (manual vacuum aspiration). These methods may not completely empty the uterus, and small fragments of tissue will still be attached to the uterine wall. This leads to discomfort, cramping, and continued bleeding.

Medical Failure

• In this method, tablets like misoprostol are used to trigger the uterine contractions to expel pregnancy tissue. Sometimes misoprostol may not be effective due to underdosage, or the uterus might not give an effective response, resulting in misoprostol failure. This leads to some tissue remaining inside the uterus.

Uterine Abnormalities

• Sometimes the uterus may have conditions like fibroids or other structural abnormalities like uterine septum. All these can contribute to the incomplete evacuation of the pregnancy tissue. These abnormalities create barriers and prevent the complete evacuation of the pregnancy tissue. Abortion failure in women with fibroids is the most common problem faced by women with uterine abnormalities.

Complications from Infection 

• After an abortion, some women might get infections due to many reasons. This causes the uterus to contract poorly, which prevents the full evacuation of the tissue. The retained products increase to severe further complications if left undiagnosed or untreated.

Diagnostic Process for Failed Abortion

So, how do you find out if your abortion has failed or is incomplete? To find this out, you must get an accurate diagnosis. Only that can help a patient manage a failed abortion and prevent any further risk. At Revive Hospitals, a highly experienced team of doctors use advanced diagnostic tools and procedures to confirm whether there are any retained tissues still in the uterus. Let us take a look at the methods used by us to diagnose a failed abortion.

Pelvic Ultrasound

• The most common test to find out about a failed abortion is a retained tissue ultrasound. This procedure helps assess the thickness of the uterine lining and identify if there are any remains of the pregnancy tissue.

Blood Tests

• When a woman gets pregnant, the pregnancy hormone (hCG) levels increase rapidly. Blood tests help find out if there are any tissues still lying around in the uterus by checking the hCG levels. Another evaluation is through low haemoglobin levels and high WBC (signs of infection).

D&C (Dilation & Curettage)

• This procedure is done when the doctor diagnoses a failed abortion. In this method, the uterine lining gets cleared and thus ensures complete expulsion of the tissue.

MVA (Manual Vacuum Aspiration)

• This is a minimally invasive procedure, and it gently removes tissues by means of suction. It is generally performed under local anaesthesia.

Hysteroscopy 

• This method is used for complex cases of incomplete abortion. Here, equipment called a hysteroscope with a camera attached to it is inserted into the vagina, where the uterine  cavity is clearly visible on a screen. This helps in diagnosing and also treating to remove the tissue by looking at direct progress on the same.
• The failed abortion diagnosis is precise at Revive Hospitals Bangalore, through these advanced techniques that help patients recover from the complications completely.

Treatment Options for Failed Abortion

When a patient is diagnosed with a failed abortion, the appropriate treatment should be given and this depends on how healthy the patient is, how much retained tissue is present in the uterus, and the severity of her symptoms. Our expert gynaecologists at Revive Hospitals, Bangalore, evaluate the case individually and administer the most effective treatment for that patient. However, there are two ways for treating the failed abortion and that includes medical and surgical procedures.

Medical Treatment for Failed Abortion

• Using misoprostol for failed abortion is one of the most common medical abortion treatments in Bangalore, without involving surgery. Misoprostol helps the uterus to contract and push out the remaining pregnancy tissue.
• One of the benefits of misoprostol treatment is that it doesn’t require hospitalisation, and it is non-invasive. Another advantage is that it can also be done at home under medical supervision. But the real problem with ineffectiveness would be if the retained tissue is so large that it cannot expel it if the contractions are not strong enough to push the tissue out.

Surgical Treatment for Failed Abortion

• Surgical options come into the picture when the medical treatments fail to give results. There are two surgical procedures that can be done – D&C (Dilation & Curettage) and MVA (Manual Vacuum Aspiration).
• The D&C procedure in Bangalore is done where the cervix is slightly widened, and the retained pregnancy tissue is taken out. Doctors use this procedure if there is severe bleeding or a risk of infection. MVA for failed abortion is an option where a gentle suction is used to clear the uterus and the remains of the tissue. It is a mildly invasive procedure and high success rates are also being reported.
• Both D&C and MVA procedures make sure that the remaining tissue is removed completely, and they are usually quick, so people can resume their normal activities within some days. Be it surgical management or a non-surgical abortion treatment in Bangalore, at Revive Hospitals patients receive compassionate care with safety as the utmost priority.

Post-Abortion Care After Failed Abortion

At Revive Hospitals Bangalore, we understand that a woman goes through both physical and mental stress during a failed abortion, and the need for proper care is vital for the overall well-being of the woman. We provide a holistic approach to patients during this sensitive condition.

Physical Care

• Patients may get excessive bleeding or infection after the treatment. Unmanaged bleeding can put them at severe health risks; hence, we provide special attention to post-MTP bleeding control and provide medicines if required.

Emotional Recovery

• Revive Hospitals provides professional counseling and emotional support after abortion in Bangalore for patients, as an abortion itself causes serious emotional trauma. If it is a failed one, then again the mind gets triggered for getting into anxiety, guilt, sadness, etc. This helps them cope with the psychological disturbances and provides them with strength and acceptance.

Follow-Up Care

• To make sure the post-abortion treatment is successful, you must do follow-up checkups as per your doctor’s advice to ensure the uterus has healed completely. The process includes pelvic ultrasound scans of the current improvement record. This checkup prevents any retained tissues. Doing a follow-up checkup prevents any infections or scarring.
