Brown discharge in 4 months of pregnancy

If a pregnant woman has brown discharge when she is four months pregnant, it is usually a sign of threatened miscarriage. Threatened abortion is also relatively dangerous. Therefore, if a pregnant woman has such a problem, she must go to the hospital for examination in time and cooperate with the doctor to take a series of measures to preserve the fetus! Below, we will introduce in detail the treatment methods and precautions for threatened abortion!

1. General treatment

If threatened miscarriage occurs, pregnant women should pay attention to rest, reduce activity, refrain from sexual intercourse, avoid unnecessary vaginal examinations, reduce stimulation to the uterus, and avoid excessive mental stress, otherwise it will cause miscarriage. After the bleeding stops, it is best to rest for two weeks before returning to work. This treatment method for threatened abortion is suitable for female friends with mild symptoms of threatened abortion.

2. Drug treatment

Progesterone ensures embryo development, maintains pregnancy, inhibits uterine smooth muscle contraction, and reduces uterine tension. In the early stages of pregnancy, threatened abortion can be treated with medication to maintain pregnancy, or with intramuscular injection of human chorionic gonadotropin (because this hormone can stimulate corpus luteum function). Sedatives and blockers can be used in the second and third trimesters to reduce mental stimulation and inhibit uterine contractions. In addition, oral vitamin E is also beneficial for maintaining the development of the embryo. >>Does progesterone have any side effects?

3. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Traditional Chinese medicine can treat according to syndrome differentiation: those with kidney deficiency can use Cuscuta australis, Viscum album, donkey-hide gelatin, and Dipsacus asper. For patients with trauma, Xiao Chaihu Decoction can be used to treat threatened abortion with additions of angelica, bupleurum, raw astragalus, cimicifuga root, mistletoe, donkey-hide gelatin and dipsaci.

4. Special reminder: Blindly protecting the fetus is not advisable

Since more than half of threatened abortions are caused by the embryo's own genetic factors, doctors usually adopt the principle of survival of the fittest and do not blindly adopt treatments to preserve the fetus. Only if there is a clear cause of threatened miscarriage (such as insufficient progesterone secretion, cervical incompetence, etc.) will the doctor be able to provide you with appropriate treatment.

If your threatened miscarriage is not suitable for pregnancy preservation treatment, don't be too sad. Prepare your body and lifestyle for your next pregnancy, complete pre-pregnancy checkups carefully, follow the guidance and advice of reproductive specialists and obstetricians, adjust your mindset, and believe that your journey to have a baby will be successful.
