Causes of bleeding in early pregnancy

Many friends who are pregnant usually experience early bleeding in the first three months of pregnancy. Many friends are particularly worried whether this is a sign of miscarriage? We remind everyone to relax and go to the hospital for examination in time if early pregnancy bleeding occurs, so as to prevent the signs of early miscarriage or adverse reactions from occurring in time.

Bleeding in early pregnancy can be divided into several stages to discuss

If the pregnancy has just been confirmed and the bleeding has not yet been confirmed, the general obstetrician and gynecologist will arrange an ultrasound to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Because the equipment is quite advanced now, an abdominal ultrasound examination can determine whether the embryonic sac has implanted in the uterus six to seven weeks after the last menstrual period. If the ultrasound examination is performed through the vagina, the embryonic sac can be seen a week in advance.

Therefore, if the pregnancy is more than seven weeks old, but the embryo sac is still not seen in the uterus, and there is abnormal bleeding, it is necessary to suspect whether there is an ectopic pregnancy. Further examination and treatment must be done immediately to avoid rupture of the ectopic pregnancy, resulting in massive internal bleeding and endangering life.

However, after the ultrasound shows the embryonic sac in the uterus, it takes another week to see the real embryo, and the heartbeat is considered a normal pregnancy. In a small number of pregnancies, there is still no trace of the embryo after eight weeks. At this time, it may be an atrophic egg. If this situation is accompanied by bleeding and abdominal pain, and the blood test shows that the increase in the mother's human chorionic hormone index is abnormal, it may be a spontaneous abortion.

However, there is a very rare situation, called cervical pregnancy. Although an embryo sac can be seen in the uterus in the early stage, the embryo implantation position is not ideal and it moves to the cervix. This is considered an ectopic pregnancy. If it is treated too late, the uterus must be removed and it may be life-threatening. About 90% of cervical pregnancies will have abnormal bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy, and there will be no abdominal pain or discomfort, which is easy to be ignored. Therefore, if there is bleeding in early pregnancy, you must seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid danger.

If all the above conditions have been ruled out, the embryo is developing normally in the uterus, and all the tests are normal, but there is abnormal bleeding at this time,

Knowing about early pregnancy bleeding, we should pay attention to our physical health in daily life, especially in the first three months of pregnancy. We should pay more attention to diet and avoid sexual intercourse, which will cause early miscarriage or premature growth.
