Bleeding in the fifth week of pregnancy

Many mothers experience various symptoms during pregnancy. In order to ensure the health of the mother and the safety of the fetus, expectant mothers should pay enough attention to the symptoms as soon as they appear and actively seek ways to relieve and cure them. For example, bleeding in the fifth week of pregnancy may be caused by miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole, excessive fatigue, vaginal and cervical lesions and other problems. If not treated in time, it is extremely dangerous!

1. Miscarriage

Symptoms: In the first 3 months of pregnancy, there is slight vaginal bleeding or brown discharge, with or without the discharge of blood clots and products of conception, sometimes accompanied by abdominal or back pain, which is often a sign of miscarriage.

Response: The expectant mother should seek medical attention immediately. The doctor will perform an ultrasound examination based on your situation to understand the development of the embryo. If the amount of bleeding is heavy, it means that miscarriage is inevitable, and a curettage surgery will be required in time. If the pregnant mother bleeds less, it may only be a threatened abortion. After treatment by a doctor and bed rest, most embryos can survive.

2. Ectopic pregnancy

Symptoms: Bleeding caused by ectopic pregnancy usually occurs around 2 months of pregnancy, accompanied by varying degrees of nausea and abdominal pain. Once tubal pregnancy ruptures, massive intra-abdominal bleeding and severe abdominal pain will occur, which may lead to shock.

Response: If ectopic pregnancy is not treated promptly, it is likely to endanger the life of the expectant mother. Therefore, if vaginal bleeding occurs in early pregnancy and is accompanied by abdominal pain, you should seek medical attention immediately without delay. Expectant mothers who have had a history of ectopic pregnancy should be more careful and undergo careful B-ultrasound examinations in the early stages of pregnancy. Determine whether the pregnancy is intrauterine.

3. Hydatidiform mole

Measures: In early pregnancy, a uterine B-ultrasound should be performed to monitor embryo development and detect hydatidiform mole early. If the early pregnancy reactions are severe, timely checks should be carried out to rule out hydatidiform mole. If there is heavy bleeding, the patient should be rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. A short-term delay may cause more blood loss and endanger the pregnant mother.

4. Overwork

If the pregnant mother is too tired or under great work pressure in the early stages of pregnancy, it may also cause a small amount of vaginal bleeding.

Measures: Keep quiet, get enough rest and. Feeling comfortable, and receive miscarriage preservation treatment if necessary.

5. Vaginal and cervical lesions

It often manifests as irregular vaginal bleeding or bloody discharge, which is prone to occur after vaginal examination or sexual intercourse, but there is no abdominal pain. Common lesions include vaginal or cervical inflammation, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, subuterine myomas, prolapse of the cervix or cervical cancer. Usually there are also symptoms such as abdominal pain, but this situation will not directly cause miscarriage.

Measures: Do a good job of pre-pregnancy check-up, cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and take good care of yourself, and you can continue your pregnancy.
