Abstract

Introduction Incomplete abortion is the loss of some of the product of conceptiononof pregnancy, causing some of the fetal tissues are still deposited in the uterus such as decidua and placenta. During the process, the initial sign isthe bleeding in the basal decidua followed by the occurrence of necrosis in the surrounding tissue. Afterwards, a part if not all of the conception product would be detached. As it is considered to be a foreign object, the uterus would contract to expel it. At week 8 of gestation, all of the products of conception would be excluded because the choreal villi had not deeply penetrated the decidua. At weeks 8-14 of gestation, the choreal villi already deeply entered the decidua. Therefore, at this stage, some of the conception would come out and some would remain which causes the bleeding on the mother.
