Overview
At present, there is no unified standard for the treatment of missed abortion in clinical practice. This study intends to collect clinical data of this type of disease to compare the efficacy of different treatments, and on this basis, presuppose the synergistic effect of different doses of estrogen in the process of drug induction, conduct statistical analysis of the efficacy, evaluate whether the treatment plan can achieve the therapeutic effect while reducing the occurrence of complications, and provide an effective basis for the subsequent clinical treatment of missed abortion. This study is divided into two parts. The first part is a retrospective analysis to explore the differences between missed abortion surgery and drug treatment, clinical efficacy and reproductive outcomes; the second part is a prospective study to explore the effects of different doses of estrogen combined with surgery or drug abortion on the efficacy of missed abortion in early pregnancy, and explore the best clinical treatment method for missed abortion.
Interventions
- Drug Control group
No estrogen supplementation - Drug Conventional dose of estrogen
1 day after medical abortion, give oral estradiol valerate, 1 mg Bid, for 21 days, and add dydrogesterone 10 mg Bid for the next 7 days. Take it in a cycle starting from the 5th day of the next menstruation for a total of 2 cycles. - Drug High-dose estrogen
1 day after abortion, give oral estradiol valerate, 2 mg Bid, for 21 days, and add dydrogesterone 10 mg Bid for the next 7 days. Take it in a cycle starting from the 5th day of the next menstruation for a total of 2 cycles.

- Operative Time for Surgical Treatment [Time frame: During the surgical procedure]
- Number of Participants with Adverse Drug Reactions During Medication Treatment [Time frame: From the first dose of medication to 7 days after treatment completion]
- Change from Baseline in Menstrual Blood Volume at 3 Months Post-Treatment [Time frame: Baseline (self-reported usual menstrual volume before pregnancy) and at 3 months after treatment]
- Number of Participants with Residual Gestational Tissue at 14 Days Post-Treatment [Time frame: At 14 days after treatment]
- Number of Participants Achieving Pregnancy within 1 Year after Attempting Conception [Time frame: From the start of attempting pregnancy (after completion of treatment and at least one normal menstrual cycle) up to 1 year]
