Overview

Brief Summary

Description of the psychiatric impact of miscarriage on women.

Detailed Description

miscarriage, a significant reproductive health issue, often has profound psychological implications for women. The emotional and psychiatric effects of abortion can vary widely based on individual, cultural, and situational factors, as well as the timing of the procedure (1). First-trimester abortions are typically more common and are generally less complex medically, while second-trimester abortions often involve more intricate decision-making processes and greater societal and personal stigma (2). Emerging evidence suggests that women undergoing abortions in different trimesters may experience distinct psychiatric challenges, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. However, the comparative psychological burden between first- and second-trimester abortions remains underexplored (3-6). Understanding these differences is crucial for tailoring mental health interventions and providing comprehensive care to affected women. This study aims to compare the prevalence and types of psychiatric problems in mothers undergoing abortion in the first versus the second trimester, thereby contributing to the body of knowledge on maternal mental health and informing evidence-based support strategies.
