When discussing abortion, it's important to understand the difference between a complete abortion and an incomplete abortion to help you feel more informed about your next steps. Simply speaking, these terms refer to how much of the pregnancy has been expelled from the uterus.
What is a complete abortion?
- A complete abortion refers to when the body naturally expels the pregnancy, and all tissue is passed without the need for medical intervention.
- While it can be a relief, follow-up care is still advised.
What is an incomplete abortion?
- An incomplete abortion occurs when some pregnancy tissue remains in the uterus, leading to discomfort or other complications.
- Simply put, while in a complete abortion symptoms like bleeding and pain usually stop, in an incomplete abortion, on the other hand, there may be some ongoing bleeding and medical help will be needed.
