A missed abortion is also known as a missed miscarriage or spontaneous abortion. It's a miscarriage in which the fetus didn't form or is no longer developing, but the placenta and embryonic tissues are still in your uterus. A missed abortion is not an elective abortion.
Complete Miscarriage: A completed miscarriage is when the embryo or products of conception have emptied out of the uterus. Bleeding should subside quickly, as should any pain or cramping. A completed miscarriage can be confirmed by an ultrasound or by having a surgical curettage (D&C) performed.
Surgical evacuation of the uterus for management of incomplete miscarriage usually involves vacuum aspiration or sharp metal curettage (WHO 1995). Vacuum aspiration (also called suction curettage, menstrual regulation, endometrial aspiration, or mini‐suction) utilises a vacuum source for the evacuation of the uterus.
Therapeutic abortion refers to termination of pregnancy for medical indications.
There are different types of medical abortions: Therapeutic medical abortion is done because the woman has a health condition. Elective abortion is done because a woman chooses (elects) to end the pregnancy.

No association was observed between the number of spontaneous abortions and the risk of uterine fibroids. Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that induced abortion may be an independent risk factor for uterine fibroids in middle-aged and older Chinese women.
Can you have a miscarriage without bleeding? Most of the time, bleeding is the first sign of a miscarriage. However, a miscarriage can occur without bleeding, or other symptoms may appear first. Many women prefer the term pregnancy loss to miscarriage.
Vaginal bleeding — It is normal to have some vaginal bleeding after an abortion. Usually the bleeding is less than with a menstrual period. The bleeding usually lasts a few days to two weeks, and should become light after the first few days.
