What is bleeding after pregnancy?

Bleeding after pregnancy, the precursor of bleeding is usually because of some problems with your vagina or some problems with the fetus. If you don't pay attention, it will usually cause systemic diseases in the mother. In order to enhance everyone's health awareness, let's explain what bleeding after pregnancy is.

The main symptom of threatened abortion is a small amount of vaginal bleeding after pregnancy. Depending on the amount of bleeding and the time it accumulates in the vagina, the color may be bright red, pink or dark brown. Sometimes it is accompanied by mild lower abdominal pain, a feeling of falling during fetal movement, and lower back pain and abdominal distension. According to traditional folk sayings, the main evidence of threatened abortion is "seeing blood".

There are many reasons for threatened abortion, such as abnormal fertilized egg, endocrine disorders, placental dysfunction, blood type incompatibility, and maternal systemic diseases.

Excessive mental stimulation, reproductive organ malformation and inflammation, trauma, etc. can all lead to threatened abortion.

Whether threatened miscarriage will lead to miscarriage often depends on whether the embryo is abnormal. If the embryo is normal, after rest and treatment, the cause of miscarriage is eliminated, the bleeding stops and the pregnancy can continue. But most miscarriages are caused by fetal abnormalities, so miscarriage will eventually occur.

Key points of self-diagnosis: After pregnancy, there is a small amount of vaginal bleeding. Depending on the amount of bleeding and the time it accumulates in the vagina, the color may be bright red, pink or dark brown.

Sometimes it is accompanied by mild lower abdominal pain, a feeling of falling during fetal movement, and mild back pain and abdominal distension.

About half of patients with threatened abortion will eventually suffer miscarriage, which may lead to infection or even sepsis and death due to excessive bleeding.

Treatment recommendations: Pregnant women who find themselves showing signs of threatened miscarriage should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to determine the cause and the condition of the fetus, but should try to minimize unnecessary vaginal examinations to reduce stimulation to the uterus. If the pregnancy reaction is positive, and combined with body temperature and B-ultrasound examination, it is considered suitable to preserve the pregnancy, the pregnancy preservation treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor; if the amount of vaginal bleeding is more than the menstrual volume, or other diagnosis shows that the fetus is dead or miscarriage is inevitable, the pregnancy should be terminated as soon as possible to prevent bleeding and infection.

Pregnancy preservation treatment can also be carried out by taking Chinese patent medicine or prescriptions according to the principles of TCM syndrome differentiation: for patients with kidney deficiency, they can take Baotai Pills to replenish qi and blood, consolidate the kidneys and stabilize the fetus; for patients with blood heat and yin deficiency, they can take Yuren Jinhua Pills to nourish yin, clear heat, nourish blood and stabilize the fetus.

The above is the situation of bleeding after pregnancy. If bleeding occurs, it may lead to abortion. Don’t take it lightly at this time. You must go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to determine whether your bleeding is normal or abnormal, and then decide on measures to ensure your health.
