What are the dangers of a small amount of bleeding during pregnancy?

The 40th day of pregnancy is the early stage of pregnancy, which is the most critical period. Therefore, a small amount of bleeding at 40 days of pregnancy is a relatively big threat. Many women who are 40 days pregnant are particularly worried. So they want to know what are the dangers of a small amount of bleeding at 40 days of pregnancy? The following is a detailed introduction to the dangers. You can get a comprehensive understanding.

1. Miscarriage

The most common condition for patients with early pregnancy bleeding is threatened abortion. Among these pregnant women, the embryo develops normally. Ultrasound examination shows embryonic tissue in the uterus and fetal heartbeat. These people should rest in bed and take progesterone to stop bleeding and preserve the fetus. They can usually be cured until full-term delivery, and the fetus develops normally, so there is no need to worry.

Bright red blood is not good for expectant mothers and they must go to the hospital for treatment immediately. If the vaginal discharge is brown, it is recommended to rest in bed. Generally speaking, bleeding can be improved, but whether the blood is brown or bright red, you must let your doctor know so that you can provide timely assistance.

2. Ectopic pregnancy

It is best for pregnant mothers to take a pregnancy test when their period is overdue, because after confirming the pregnancy, you can ask the doctor to help you confirm whether the implantation site is inside or outside the uterus. Experts remind pregnant mothers that early ectopic pregnancy may not have symptoms. It is best to determine whether the implantation site is correct before intra-abdominal bleeding occurs so that the doctor can provide appropriate treatment.

There are two treatments for ectopic pregnancy: surgical treatment and drug treatment. Surgical treatment includes "salpingotomy", "salpingostomy" or "salpingectomy" to remove the fallopian tube mass and pregnancy tissue; drug treatment requires the use of the anti-cancer drug methotrexate (MTX) depending on the patient's physical condition.

In addition, special attention should be paid to the fact that pregnant women with a history of ectopic pregnancy, abnormal uterine structure, intrauterine contraceptive devices, or who have undergone fallopian tube surgery are all considered to be at high risk of ectopic pregnancy.

Pregnant mothers should pay attention to one thing. No matter the color of the blood, as long as abnormal bleeding occurs once a day, they must rest in bed for three days, avoid sit-ups and other exercises that involve the abdomen, and avoid holding urine, constipation and other situations that will increase intra-abdominal pressure.

Another group of pregnant women have poor embryo development, and ultrasound examination shows only an empty sac but no embryonic tissue, or there is embryonic tissue but no fetal heartbeat. These pregnant women have already miscarried, and there is no benefit in preserving the fetus, so they need timely uterine curettage.

What are the dangers of a small amount of bleeding 40 days into pregnancy? First of all, there is the danger of miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, many pregnant women who have a small amount of bleeding 40 days into pregnancy must pay attention to it. After these symptoms appear, in order to avoid miscarriage, they must go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to see what causes it.
