Diagnosis of Miscarriage
Doctors may prescribe any of the following diagnostic tests to identify the type of miscarriage and the severity of the condition.
Treatment of Miscarriage-
In some cases of complete miscarriage, the uterus itself expels all the fetal tissues. However, if the body doesn’t remove all the pregnancy tissues, then the doctor recommends the removal of pregnancy tissues either with medication or surgery, depending on the severity of the condition.
Medication is usually prescribed if you had a miscarriage before 10 weeks of pregnancy to expel the pregnancy tissue and placenta. Misoprostol and ibuprofen are two effective medicines that stimulate the uterus to expel the pregnancy tissue. They also help in reducing cramps, nausea, vomiting and chills. However, after medication, you may experience heavy bleeding, which indicates the treatment has been effective.
Surgery is quite an effective treatment for miscarriage in the later weeks. Dilation and curettage (D&C) is the surgical procedure performed to expel the pregnancy tissues from the birth canal. In this procedure, doctors give methotrexate to dilate the cervix completely, and after that surgeon uses a curette to remove all the tissues from the uterine cavity and clear the uterine lining.
Different types of miscarriage and their treatment procedure:
Complete miscarriage- Complete miscarriage does not require any specific treatment as the uterus itself expels all the pregnancy tissues from the uterine cavity. Doctors suggest an ultrasound to ensure a complete miscarriage.
Missed miscarriage- It is also known as a silent miscarriage. In this type of miscarriage, the body is unable to recognize the pregnancy loss and can’t expel the pregnancy tissues. Missed miscarriage is usually treated by either medication or surgery. Medication is suggested to speed up the natural process. But if the medication is not successful, then the doctor suggests surgery to expel the complete pregnancy tissues. Doctors suggest an ultrasound to confirm the complete miscarriage.
Recurrent miscarriage- The most commonly identified cause of recurrent miscarriage is often associated with chromosomal abnormalities and hormonal disorders. Recurrent miscarriage treatment involves- lifestyle changes, medication like low-dose aspirin, injectable blood thinners and surgery, depending on the condition.
Your doctor is likely to suggest a list of ways to prepare you well for the surgery treatment-

Mostly, the D&C procedure is safe, but like any other surgery treatment, it is also associated with certain risks and complications-
The treatment procedure usually depends on at which stage of your pregnancy you experience a miscarriage. Medication is usually suggested when you lose pregnancy in the early stage. While surgery is performed in later stages to expel the pregnancy tissue from the uterine cavity. While some cases of complete miscarriage uterus itself expel all the pregnancy tissue and hence, does not require any specific treatment.

The average cost of miscarriage treatment (D&E) in India ranges between Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 20,000.
