While it may not be a widely discussed topic, it is important to recognize 10% to 20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage before the 20th week. Unfortunately, once a miscarriage commences, there are no means to halt the process and avoid pregnancy loss. As a result, miscarriages can manifest in diverse ways, each calling for one of three distinct treatment approaches. If you are displaying symptoms of a miscarriage, we encourage you to reach out to our compassionate gynecologists at Advanced Women’s Health and Surgery to learn more about the available miscarriage treatment options in Cleveland.
There are several types of miscarriages that can occur. Therefore, miscarriage treatments in Cleveland are customized to suit your individual circumstances.
Miscarriage treatments in Cleveland have three typical approaches: expectant management, medical treatment, and surgical treatment. The expectant management approach involves letting the miscarriage progress naturally. During this time, a woman’s body expels the placenta, embryo, and other pregnancy tissue from the uterus while monitored by healthcare professionals.
Sometimes, women may be prescribed medications to quicken the process. The medications cause the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy tissue from the uterus to complete the miscarriage.
Surgical correction is necessary when a woman develops an infection in the uterus, has excessive bleeding, or has a significant amount of fetal and placenta tissue remaining in the uterus. The procedure is called suction dilation and curettage allowing the surgeon to access and remove pregnancy tissue and infection-causing tissue from the uterus.
Miscarriages are emotionally challenging experiences. However, treatment for miscarriage in Cleveland can assist in symptom management, prevent health complications, and expedite the process. The choice of treatment, whether it involves closely monitoring the natural progression, prescribing medications, or surgical intervention, depends on the type of miscarriage.
Before any treatment, it is essential to confirm the miscarriage through an ultrasound examination and blood tests. If you are experiencing symptoms or have received a previous diagnosis and wish to explore the most suitable treatment method, we encourage you to schedule a consultation at our Westlake, Beachwood, or Middlefield offices for a comprehensive assessment. We can assess your condition and recommend appropriate treatment options for miscarriage in Cleveland.
