Ovular abortion, also known as spontaneous abortion or miscarriage, is a medical term used to describe the natural termination of a pregnancy before the 20th week of gestation. Ovular refers to the ovum or egg, which is the female reproductive cell involved in conception. Abortion, in this context, does not refer to the deliberate termination of pregnancy (which is usually referred to as induced abortion), but rather to the unintended loss of the embryo or fetus as a result of various factors.
Ovular abortion occurs due to a variety of reasons such as genetic abnormalities in the embryo, hormonal imbalances, maternal health issues, problems with the uterus or cervix, or other unexplained factors. Symptoms of ovular abortion can include vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain or cramping, and the passing of tissue or blood clots from the vagina. These symptoms may vary in severity depending on the stage of pregnancy and individual circumstances.
In cases of ovular abortion, medical intervention may be required to ensure complete expulsion of the pregnancy and manage any potential complications. Treatment options may include medication, such as misoprostol to induce contractions or dilation and curettage (D&C) to remove any remaining tissue from the uterus.
It is important to note that ovular abortion is a natural and involuntary process that can be emotionally and physically challenging for those involved. It is recommended that individuals experiencing symptoms or concerns related to ovular abortion seek medical attention for appropriate diagnosis, support, and guidance.
