A missed abortion or delayed abortion is defined as the arrest of embryonic development without expulsion of the embryo, i.e. when the embryo/fetus dies, but the woman's body is not able to expel it.
In this case, an induced abortion must be performed, usually by dilatation and curettage. It is also possible that it is carried out with specific medications for this purpose. In any case, it must be performed in an appropriate manner and by a specialist to prevent it from affecting the woman's fertility, and to prevent her from having problems in achieving a new pregnancy.
