  2. Dilation and evacuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilation_and_evacuation

    Dilation and evacuation can be offered for the management of second trimester miscarriage if skilled providers are available. [6] Some women choose D&E over labor induction for a second trimester loss because it can be a scheduled surgical procedure, offering predictability over labor induction, or because they find it emotionally easier than undergoing labor and delivery.

  3. Vacuum aspiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_aspiration

    Single-use double-valve manual vacuum aspirator. Vacuum or suction aspiration is a procedure that uses a vacuum source to remove an embryo or fetus through the cervix.The procedure is performed to induce abortion, as a treatment for incomplete spontaneous abortion (otherwise commonly known as miscarriage) or retained fetal and placental tissue, or to obtain a sample of uterine lining ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilation_and_curettage

    Dilation (or dilatation) and curettage (D&C) refers to the dilation (widening or opening) of the cervix and surgical removal of sections and/or layers of the lining of the uterus and or contents of the uterus such as an unwanted fetus (early abortion before 13 weeks), remains of a non-viable fetus, retained placenta after birth or abortion as well as any abnormal tissue which may be in the ...

  5. Decidualization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decidualization

    [2] In humans, decidualization occurs after ovulation during the menstrual cycle. After implantation of the embryo, the decidua further develops to mediate the process of placentation. In the event no embryo is implanted, the decidualized endometrial lining is shed or, as is the case with species that follow the estrous cycle, absorbed. [1]

  6. Placental expulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placental_expulsion

    By the ninth month, the endometrial lining has thinned (due to loss of trophoblast giant cells) which exposes the endometrium directly to the fetal trophoblast epithelium. With this exposure and the increase in maternal MHC-I, T-helper 1 (Th1) cells , and macrophages induce apoptosis of trophoblast cells and endometrial epithelial cells ...

  7. Decidua - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decidua

    The decidua is the modified mucosal lining of the uterus (that is, modified endometrium) that forms every month, in preparation for pregnancy. It is shed off each month when there is no fertilized egg to support. [1] The decidua is under the influence of progesterone. Endometrial cells become highly characteristic.

  8. Endocrinology of reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrinology_of_reproduction

    The early embryo has 12 weeks in order to produce sufficient hCG in order to stabilize the endometrial lining to allow for blastocyst attachment. The dramatic increase in trophoblastic and corpus luteal hCG synthesis signals both blastocyst [ 5 ] and corpus luteal [ 6 ] production of P4, crucial for the maintenance of the endometrium .

  9. Endometritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endometritis

    Endometritis is inflammation of the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium). [6] Symptoms may include fever, lower abdominal pain, and abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge. [1] [4] It is the most common cause of infection after childbirth. [7] [1] It is also part of spectrum of diseases that make up pelvic inflammatory disease. [8]
