The difference between spotting and menstruation

We all know that before a woman has a miscarriage, she will have spotting. Some people cannot tell the difference between spotting and menstruation, because no matter it is spotting or menstruation, the woman will bleed from below, and there will be blood on her underwear. So for women who have just become pregnant, it is important to distinguish the difference between menstruation and spotting, so as to prevent accidental miscarriage. When women do not know they are pregnant, it is easiest for them to confuse menstruation and spotting. So what is the difference between spotting and menstruation?

There is still some difference. Early pregnancy miscarriage bleeding will first be accompanied by abdominal pain, and then a small amount of bleeding. Menstrual bleeding is a certain amount of blood. Miscarriage bleeding usually starts with a small amount of bleeding. If the fetus is not protected in time and proper rest is not given, the bleeding will gradually become like menstruation, accompanied by abdominal discomfort such as bloating, abdominal pain, and a feeling of uterine prolapse. In severe cases, the cervix may open, bleeding may not stop, abdominal cramps, and the urge to urinate but cannot urinate.

On the surface, it is not easy to distinguish between menstruation and miscarriage, but it is obvious that menstruation has cyclical changes, while spontaneous abortion occurs when menstruation is delayed.

If your period is delayed, you should first take a pregnancy test 7-10 days after your period or 18 days after having sex to see if you are pregnant. If you are pregnant and bleeding occurs, it is considered a threatened abortion. If you are not pregnant and bleeding occurs, it is menstruation.

Bleeding after pregnancy is a threatened abortion. It is different from normal menstruation. The amount is less than usual, the color is lighter, and the duration is shorter. Suggestion: You can use an early pregnancy test strip or go to the hospital for a blood HCG test to see if you are pregnant.

The above discomfort symptoms may be caused by inflammation. It is recommended to actively carry out symptomatic treatment. It is best to go to the hospital for treatment.

Routine examination of leucorrhea, and then symptomatic treatment according to the specific situation is more effective. During this period, pay attention to proper rest, eat a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and keep the vulva clean and hygienic.
