What Causes Discharge Of White Lump After Abortion?

My wife started bleeding on Saturday and when she went to the hospital they did a bcg test and suspected miscarriage. They did a test this morning and the bcg went down, she is still bleeding, had cramps and the cervix is open. the doc confirmed that its a miscarriage. The gynae couldn t clean her because they said something measured 14 mm instead of 15 mm and the doctor said she should come back on Friday but when she went to the toilet afterwards she discharged a white lump (half a fist). Could this be the remains of the fetus?

Hello,
From the symptoms and the clinical presentation described, it appears as though your wife developed an inevitable abortion that transformed into an incomplete abortion that has finally ended up with expulsion of the products of conception. To confirm if the lump expelled contains products of conception, a histopathological examination should be done. This should be followed by a clinical examination to see if the cervix is still open and also a pelvic/trans-vaginal sonogram to look for any remaining products inside the uterus. Hope this helps.
