Medicinal Treatment
Facilitate the complete passing of pregnancy tissue and manage associated symptoms.
- Administration of medications, such as misoprostol, to help the body pass pregnancy tissue, often managed at home or under hospital observation.
- Prescription of pain relief medication to manage cramping and discomfort during the miscarriage process.
- Hormonal support or other medical interventions for recurrent miscarriage, following diagnostic tests to identify underlying causes.

Surgical Treatment
Safely and completely remove pregnancy tissue from the womb.
- Suction evacuation (manual vacuum aspiration or Dilation and Curettage - D&C) to remove pregnancy tissue, typically performed under general or local anaesthetic for early miscarriages.
- Dilation and Evacuation (D&E) for later miscarriages (between 14 to 23 weeks), which may sometimes involve induction of labor before the procedure.
- Management of retained products of conception if the miscarriage is incomplete, to prevent infection and further complications.
