Causes of bleeding in early pregnancy

If you experience bleeding in early pregnancy, don't let your emotions fluctuate too much, otherwise it will make your vaginal bleeding become more and more serious. And don't worry that your bleeding will cause miscarriage. In fact, some vaginal bleeding is safe. As long as you find the right cause and take good care of it, there will be no serious problems. So you still have to keep your emotions stable.

Partial bleeding is safe

During early pregnancy, approximately 50% of expectant mothers will experience bleeding. Some bleeding is safe, such as implantation bleeding, bleeding caused by polyps, etc. Therefore, when encountering bleeding due to these reasons, expectant mothers do not need to worry too much.

Implantation bleeding

Everyone knows that pregnancy means amenorrhea, but in the early stages of pregnancy, when the fertilized egg implants in the uterus, there will generally be slight bleeding for one or two days. Next, when the placenta implants on the inner wall of the uterus, a small amount of bleeding is also normal. This is a normal manifestation of fetal growth and development.

Bleeding from polyps

Polyps are small benign bumps that grow at the opening of the uterus. The blood from the polyps sometimes mixes with the secretions from the cervix, causing bleeding. Sometimes, as the pregnancy progresses, polyps will grow larger, but this has no effect on the safety of the fetus and no measures are needed to preserve the fetus. Of course, there are doctors who will remove polyps based on the actual situation. This is a very minor operation and there is nothing to worry about.

Mucosal bleeding

The mucous membrane covers the vagina or uterine opening. Because the abdominal cavity is congested after pregnancy, sexual intercourse, gynecological examinations or lifting heavy objects may cause slight bleeding, which usually stops on its own in a short time.

Less severe cervical erosion

Cervical erosion is extremely common among married women, and 30% to 40% of married women are likely to be infected. This is mainly due to the influence of estrogen levels in the body. In addition, the structure of the female reproductive organs is too suitable for bacterial growth: moist, dark, and with residual blood, etc. Cervical erosion is also one of the more common causes of bleeding during pregnancy. Many expectant mothers who suffer from cervical erosion do not feel anything until they have a check-up due to bleeding during pregnancy and find out that they have the disease.

If the symptoms of cervical erosion are mild, treatment can be delayed until after delivery. If the threatened miscarriage is caused by cervical erosion, the doctor will generally recommend that you keep the fetus and rest in bed first. In particularly serious cases, termination of pregnancy may be considered, or other conservative measures may be taken to protect the fetus while providing treatment.
