This study aimed to compare the efficacy of different doses of femoston with expectant management in patients with incomplete abortions. Patients diagnosed with incomplete abortion were included if they chose to continue medical treatment after relevant contraindications were excluded. Participants were divided into 3 groups: the femoston (1/10) and femoston (2/10) groups received different doses of femoston, and patients in the control group received expectant treatment. The success rate of complete abortion and the rate of menstrual recovery among the 3 groups were compared to evaluate the efficacy of different doses of femoston in patients with incomplete abortions. A total of 197 patients were analyzed: 73 in the femoston (1/10) group, 73 in the femoston (2/10) group, and 51 patients were followed up without treatment in the control group. The femoston group was significantly more effective than the control group P < .0001). The adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were 3.103 and 1.153 to 8.350 (P = .025). The success rate of complete abortion in the femoston (2/10) group was significantly higher than that in the femoston (1/10) group (adjusted OR: 0.403, 95% CI: 0.145-1.118, P = .081). In addition, the rate of menstrual recovery in the femoston group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P = .007), and the rate in the femoston (2/10) group was also higher than the femoston (1/10) group with statistically significant (P = .001). Femoston is effective in treating incomplete abortion, with femostons containing 2 mg estrogen being more effective. Patients with incomplete abortion are treated with femoston, and menstrual recovery time may be shortened. Femostons may be a new option for pharmacological treatment of incomplete abortions.
