Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A threatened abortion is characterized by heavy vaginal bleeding in a pregnant patient who has not yet passed the fetus, but may spontaneously terminate the pregnancy. A suction-aspiration abortion involves removing the fetus from the uterus through suction, while a dysfunctional uterine prolapse is a condition in which the uterus protrudes into or out of the vagina. Miscarriage refers to the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week.
