Popis: Introduction: Early pregnancy failure can be devastating for women and their partners. The diagnosis may be preceded by days or weeks of cramping, bleeding, and hoping. Once the diagnosis is made, women are most satisfied when they are given management options and can choose the one that best fits their needs. Aims and objectives: The basic aim of the study is to analyze the non-surgical management of Early Pregnancy Failure in Pakistan. Methodology of the study: This study was conducted at Nishtar hospital, Multan during 2017. This was done with the permission of ethical committee of hospital and with the permission of patients. Total number of participants was 100 pregnant females who belong to different parts of Punjab. Results: The number of women recruited to the trial was lower than that needed to meet the original sample size calculation. Recruitment was slower than anticipated and despite an additional 33 months of recruitment, we recruited a total of 100 women. Two women recruited to the trial were subsequently found to have a viable pregnancy. No important baseline differences were evident between the three groups. Conclusion: It is concluded that women are increasingly offered a choice of treatment for the management of miscarriage.This study provides important data to enable women to be informed about their treatment choice. The ability of a unit to offer all three choices will depend on its facilities.
