Incomplete Abortion Symptoms

An incomplete abortion occurs when parts of the pregnancy tissue remain in the woman’s body after a miscarriage or abortion. This can lead to serious complications if left untreated. Here are some common symptoms:

Bleeding

One of the most common symptoms of incomplete abortion is continuous bleeding. While it is normal to experience bleeding after an abortion or miscarriage, if it persists for an extended period or is particularly heavy, it could be a sign of an incomplete abortion.

Cramping

Severe cramping is another common symptom. This happens as the uterus tries to expel the remaining pregnancy tissue.

Infection

In some cases, an incomplete abortion can lead to infection. This can manifest as fever, chills, and a foul-smelling discharge.

Real Life Example

Consider the case of Jane, a 30-year-old woman who had a miscarriage at 8 weeks. Despite heavy bleeding for two weeks after her miscarriage, she did not seek medical attention. Eventually, she developed severe cramping and a high fever. When she finally visited her doctor, she was diagnosed with an incomplete abortion and had to undergo an emergency procedure to remove the remaining pregnancy tissue.
