What are the symptoms of miscarriage at 5 weeks of pregnancy?

1. Threatened abortion: A small amount of vaginal bleeding occurs first, usually dark red or bloody leucorrhea, followed by paroxysmal lower abdominal pain or back pain. Gynecological examination showed that the cervix was not dilated, the fetal membranes were not ruptured, the products of conception had not been expelled, and the size of the uterus was consistent with the number of weeks of amenorrhea, so there was hope that the pregnancy could continue. After rest and treatment, if the bleeding stops and the lower abdominal pain disappears, the pregnancy can continue; if the vaginal bleeding increases or the lower abdominal pain worsens, miscarriage may become inevitable.

2. Unavoidable miscarriage: means miscarriage is inevitable. It develops from threatened abortion, at which time the amount of vaginal bleeding increases, the paroxysmal lower abdominal pain worsens, or vaginal discharge (rupture of membranes) occurs. Gynecological examination shows that the cervix is ​​dilated, and sometimes embryonic tissue or fetal sac can be seen blocking the cervix. The size of the uterus is consistent with the number of weeks of amenorrhea or slightly smaller.

3. Incomplete abortion: The products of conception have been partially expelled from the body, but some remain in the uterine cavity or are embedded in the cervix, resulting in inevitable abortion. Because some pregnancy products remain in the uterine cavity, uterine contraction is affected, resulting in continuous uterine bleeding and even shock due to excessive bleeding.

4. Complete abortion: All the products of pregnancy have been expelled, vaginal bleeding gradually stops, and abdominal pain gradually disappears.

Causes of miscarriage symptoms in early pregnancy

Miscarriage in early pregnancy, especially within 8 weeks of pregnancy, is most common, and 80% of them are due to abnormal embryo development. Examination of the discharge from early miscarriage may reveal that the embryo is underdeveloped, soft and withered, or there is only an amniotic sac without the embryo. Abnormal embryonic development is caused by abnormal fertilized eggs or incomplete development and function of trophoblasts.
