Missed Miscarriage Evacuation in Windhoek

About this service

A missed miscarriage evacuation in Windhoek is a surgical procedure performed when a pregnancy has stopped developing before 12 weeks but has not passed naturally. It clears the uterus of pregnancy tissue that the body has not been able to release on its own, reducing the risk of infection, bleeding or prolonged pain.

Many women are diagnosed with a missed miscarriage on a routine scan and are otherwise well, which can make the news harder to process. Eastgate Clinic performs this procedure in our on-site day theatre, with the aim of treating you gently, privately and as quickly as your situation allows.

What to expect

• A short consultation and scan confirm the diagnosis before the procedure is scheduled
• The evacuation is performed under anaesthesia, so you will not be awake or in pain during the procedure
• The procedure itself is generally brief, and most women go home the same day
• Some cramping and light bleeding is normal afterwards as the uterus settles
• Your doctor will advise on follow-up care and when it is safe to try to conceive again

Who is it for?

You may be advised to have this if you are dealing with:

• A scan showing no heartbeat or an empty gestational sac
• Diagnosis of a missed or delayed miscarriage before 12 weeks
• Ongoing pregnancy symptoms after a scan suggests loss
• Wanting a managed, surgical option instead of waiting for natural passage
• Bleeding or cramping alongside a confirmed non-viable early pregnancy
