What is another word for incomplete abortion?
Pronunciation: [ɪnkəmplˈiːt ɐbˈɔːʃən] (IPA) 
Incomplete abortion, also known as retained products of conception, is a medical condition that occurs when all the pregnancy-related tissues are not fully expelled from the uterus. Common synonyms for incomplete abortion include retained placenta, retained fetal tissue, missed abortion, and silent miscarriage. Incomplete abortions can lead to severe complications such as infection, bleeding, and sepsis. The primary symptom of an incomplete abortion is vaginal bleeding, which may be accompanied by cramping and abdominal pain. Treatment for an incomplete abortion involves removing any remaining fetal tissues from the uterus through either a dilation and curettage procedure or medication. If left untreated, an incomplete abortion can cause long-term reproductive health problems.
