Early pregnancy loss is a common clinical scenario for women of reproductive age. Confirmation of pregnancy loss by pelvic ultrasonography using established criteria is crucial to ensure that potentially viable pregnancies are not interrupted. Both medical and surgical management options are effective and safe methods for the management of early pregnancy loss. Management should largely be influenced by patient preference in the hemodynamically stable patient. The purpose of this section is to describe the criteria for the diagnosis of early pregnancy loss, discuss various evidence-based treatment options for early pregnancy loss, and review current recommendations for attempts at future conception.
