O07.35

Clinical Causes: Unsuccessful or incomplete pregnancy termination procedures Inadequate hemostasis leading to venous bleeding or pooling Use of invasive techniques that may damage venous vessels Pre-existing venous conditions or coagulation disorders Clot formation due to blood flow disturbance post-procedure

Key Symptoms: Swelling or edema in the pelvic or lower extremity region Persistent or increasing pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis Visible surface veins or discoloration of the skin Signs of deep vein thrombosis such as warmth and tenderness Unusual bleeding or discharge from the vaginal area General symptoms like fever or malaise if infection develops

Diagnosis Path: Physical examination focused on pelvic and lower limb swelling or tenderness Ultrasound imaging, including Doppler studies, to evaluate blood flow and detect blood clots Venography or other imaging techniques if necessary to visualize veins Laboratory tests assessing coagulation status and signs of infection or inflammation Review of patient history, including details of the pregnancy termination attempt

Treatment Protocols: Anticoagulant therapy to prevent further clot formation and promote resolution Pain management with analgesics as needed Compression therapy, such as specialized stockings, to improve venous blood flow Surgical or minimally invasive procedures in severe cases to remove clots or repair damaged veins Monitoring for potential complications like pulmonary embolism Addressing underlying causes such as coagulation disorders or vein abnormalities
