Expectant management miscarriage
- wait and watch for 7-14 days for the expulsion to occur naturally
Consider other management if
- woman has coagulopathy or no blood transfusion available
- history of still birth, missed miscarriage
- risk of haemorrhage (late 1st tri)
- risk of infection
- less than 6weeks of preg with bleeding but no pain, advise for preg test after 7 days
Medical management miscarriage
Misoprostol (cytotec)
1tab is 200mg
- Missed- 800mg pv 2doses 6hrs apart
- incomplete 600mg oral 1dose
- induced (13-22wks)- 400 mg pv 3hrly
- IUD
200 if 13- 17 wks pv 6hrly
100 if 18- 26 wks pv 6hrly
25-50 if more than 26wk pv 4hrly - induction of Labour 25mg pv or 50mg orally 4hrly
-pph prophylaxis- 800mg perrectal
-pph treatment- 1000mg perrectal
-cervical ripening- 400mg pv 3hrs before op
Reduce dose if c-sec scar present
Surgical management miscarriage
1- MVA AND DNE
2- Surgical uterine evacuation for excessive vaginal bleeding, hemodynamic instability, evidence of infected retained tissue and suspected gestational trophoblastic disease
3- misoprostol 3hr before
4- send products of conception for histo path
5- 1gram azithromycin I/v or oral + metronidazole 500mg iv before procedure
6- grief councelling
Labs for miscarriage

2 tvs (pelvis)
3 blood group rh factor (give 250iu antiD if more than 12 weeks and -ve)
4 coagulation profile
5 hepBsag and hep C
6 seria BhcG weekly until negative
Recurrent miscarriage history
3 or more miscarriages. 1% incidence
History
- prev miscarriage history number and age
- hx of prev cervical surgery
- history of painless cervical dilatation
- was fetal heartbeat confirmed at the time of miscarriage
- congenital uterine malformations
-APLA
- thyroid disorders
- thrombophelia
- vaginal Infections
- PCOS
MCC of recurrent miscarriages
6-8 wks chromosomal abnormalities
8-12 IUD APLA thrombocytopenia
12-24 cervical weakness, (anatomical defects) vag infections, uterine abnormalities
Labs for recurrent miscarriages
1- cbc
2- blood group th factor
3- tvs
4- anti phospholipid antibodies
5- rubella serology ig
6- HVS for c/s
7- day 2 LH FSH
8- laparoscopy hysteroscopy
9- screaming for APLA, factor 5 Leiden deff, thrombophilia, protein S
10- paternal peripheral karyotyping for both parents
11- histo path of products of conception of 3rd miscarriage.
Management for recurrent miscarriages
1 reassurance and councelling
2 folic acid 400ug 3 months before conception
3 low dose aspirin and LMWH for APLA and thrombophilia
4 clinical geneticist for karyotypical abnormalities
5 cervical cerclage offered for cervical incompetence
60-70 percent chance after 3
45 percent chance after 6
Ectopic pregnancy
It is defined as an implantation of a fetus outside the normal uterine cavity
11.1/1000 pregnancies)
Fallopian tubes 95%, Ovaries 3%, and Peritoneal cavity 1%
RISK FACTORS:
Previous ectopic pregnancy
Pelvic infections especially chlamydia infection (40%)
Pelvic inflammatory disease
Previous tubal surgery
Subfertility
Use of assisted reproductive techniques
Ectopic cp
Unruptured ectopic —- lower abdominal pain, mild vaginal bleeding, May be asymptomatic
Ruptured ectopic— severe lower abdominal pain, shoulder tip pain, epigastric pain or shock Common
Symptoms:
abdominal or pelvic pain
amenorrhoea or missed period
vaginal bleeding with or without clots
More common signs:
pelvictenderness
adnexaltenderness
abdominaltenderness
Labs for ectopic
1 cbc
2 rbs
3 serial bhcg
4 tvs
5 urine dr
6 hep c Hbsag
Ectopic ultrasound for fallopian tube
1- Adenexal mass moving separate from ovary with gestational sac containing a yolk sac - sliding sign
2- adnexal mass moving separately form ovary with empty gestational sac - bagal sign
3- empty uterus
4- collection of fluid in uterine cavity
Expectant management for ectopic done in?
1- are able to return for follow up
2- bhcg less than 1000IU/L
3- adnexal mass less than 4cm
4- tubal ectopic less than 35mm w no heartbeat
5- haemodynamically stable pt
6- less than 100ml free fluid in pelvis
Expectant management in ectopic
hCG should be 50% less after 7 days
1- 2x weekly serial bHcG, then at 2,4,7 days. Reduce by 15%, then do weekly till less than 20IU/L
2- TVS weekly - adnexal mass reduction w/I 7 days
3- council for compliance
4- council for ectopic
If values don’t decrease seek consultation
