Abstract:
The abortion is one of the common problems
that involve a good management in obstetrics, some
types can be controlled regarding to their causes and
the possibility of treating them. Medical diagnostic
ultrasound is considered to be an essential method in
diagnosing the abortion events & its causes.
Ultrasound has come to play an important role in the
management of obstetric patients, (it can provide a
window through which inside the uterus can be
evaluated and look at the fetus. The information that
U/S provide regarding pregnancy is extensive
(Hangen 2001) .
For example, when amother presents with
vaginal bleeding, acommon obstetric complication,
placental location can easily be determined. G.A
gestational sac can be determind and fetal growth
can be monitored. Also by U/S twin and triplets can
be diagnosed early in pregnancy. Morover U/S has
improved patient care as it used as a guidance in
amniocentesis instead of doing this blindly, in
1
addition it replace the fluoroscopy in intrauterine
transfusion with less radiation to both the fetus and
mother) (Hangen 2001) .
The reason for chosen this topic is that the
suspicion of high rate of abortion in Singa and
abortion impacts on women and families life. In fact,
there are more than 375 studies dealing with the
emotional and psychological impact of abortion on
women. All show that at least aminority of women,
typically between 10 and 20 percent, have one or
more negative reactions shortly after an abortion.
Studies looking at long-term reaction indicate that
the longer after an abortion one looks, the more
negative reactions will be reported. Commonly
reported reactions include: feelings of guilt, shame,
anxiety, helplessness, grief and/or remorse;
uncontrollable crying, feelings of anger, bitterness,
and resentment; feelings of distrust; lowered selfesteem;
fear of future pregnancies or, alternatively,
adesire to have a "replacement" baby; nightmares or
sleeping disorders; depression; sexual dysfunction,
eating disorders; substance abuse; self-destructive
behavior; broken or abusive relationships; suicidal
2
thoughts or tendencies; and other problems. (Martha

The difficulties that faced this study were;
the poor assisted technology in the area of the study;
there was no Doppler neither endovaginal ultrasound
machines; no printer to print out images
