When an abortion fails to terminate the pregnancy, it is called a failed abortion or incomplete abortion. In some cases, the baby will keep growing. In other cases, only parts of the pregnancy remain. It is very important that you find out if you feel you have symptoms of a failed abortion.
According to Mosby’s Medical Dictionary, an Incomplete Abortion is “the termination of pregnancy in which the products of conception are not entirely expelled or removed. It often causes hemorrhage that may require surgical evacuation by curettage, oxytocics, and blood replacement. Infection is also a frequent complication of incomplete abortion.”
