[Abortion induced by prostaglandin F 2 alpha in risk patients]. 1978

E Ehrig, and G Schott

For 245 cases of risk the intermittend extraamnial Prostaglandin F 2 alpha application was used for medicamentous dilatation of the cervix when carrying out the legal abortion in the I. trimenon. The low morbidity rate of 3% in cases of legal abortion as well as the preventive method of dilatation are able to prevent disturbances of fertility. Especially for all the young primigravidae we hope for a diminution of the cervix insufficiencies in the following desired gravidity.--In contrast to this, the danger of bacterial contamination as well as the burden onto the cervix' holding and supporting function up to the complete abortion are much higher with Prostaglandininductions.--The low doses of 3 mg Prostaglandin F 2 alpha for medicamentous dilatation of the cervix and economical advantages let this method be recommended as a method of selection for cases of legal abortion with risk.

D002581 Uterine Cervical Incompetence Incompetent UTERINE CERVIX is usually diagnosed in the second trimester of PREGNANCY. It is characterized by passive painless cervical dilation in the absence of UTERINE CONTRACTION; BLEEDING; INFECTION; and sometimes with the amniotic sac (AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE) bulging through the partially dilated cervix. Left untreated, this condition may lead to premature pregnancy loss, such as HABITUAL ABORTION.
