What are the treatment options for miscarriage?

A clinician first confirms what is happening and whether tissue remains in the uterus. A Transvaginal Ultrasound may help assess the pregnancy and guide the plan. If you are stable, expectant care allows the body to complete the miscarriage with monitoring. Medical Management of Miscarriage uses prescribed medicine to encourage the uterus to empty. Surgical Management of Miscarriage removes remaining tissue with a procedure. Your symptoms, examination, scan findings and preferences all matter.

Contact a pregnancy-care service for an assessment rather than choosing treatment from symptoms alone. Ask how to manage cramps and bleeding, when to test or attend follow-up, and what to do if the process does not complete. Rest, use menstrual products so bleeding can be observed, and follow instructions about medicines. Emotional support is also part of care; grief can be difficult even when the pregnancy was early.

Seek urgent medical help for very heavy bleeding, severe or worsening abdominal pain, fainting, dizziness, fever, chills, or feeling acutely unwell. One-sided pain or shoulder-tip pain with bleeding needs urgent assessment because an ectopic pregnancy can require different care. Follow-up is needed if bleeding, pain or pregnancy symptoms continue unexpectedly.

Has the miscarriage been confirmed, and is any tissue still present? Which option fits my symptoms and scan? What bleeding and pain should I expect? How will we know treatment is complete, and when can I seek help for emotional support?
