What is Missed Abortion?

Missed abortion occurs when the foetus or baby dies but it is retained with the other products of conception in the uterus
The uterus is usually small for the gestation period and does not increase in size between successive antenatal visits.
Often a false pregnancy test is the case.
However a negative pregnancy test is helpful.
An ultrasound examination is more helpful.

Missed Abortion

A young friend of mine got married a few months back. Luckily, she got pregnant immediately. Their joy knew no bounds and she excitedly looked forward to motherhood.
However, her joy was short-lived, when about three months into her pregnancy, she noticed slight bleeding early one morning. This stopped later in the day then began the following day.
She sought medical attention. Examination and investigation indicated a missed abortion. In addition, a fibroid was found growing on her uterus.

She was devastated. With good medical care and healing time, she is trying to put that behind her and move on with her life and marriage, hopeful that the giver of the fruit of the womb will bless them again.
Of course she wanted to know the causes of missed abortion and fibroid. These will be discussed subsequently.
I shall be grateful for any comments on these topics.

1. Missed abortion.
2. Fibroid.

Cheers and God bless!
