The difference between pregnancy and menstrual symptoms

We all know that once a woman becomes pregnant, she will experience some physical symptoms, including nausea and vomiting, amenorrhea, and swollen breasts. But for women, this situation may also occur before menstruation. In order to better judge pregnancy and menstruation, we need to correctly distinguish between these two situations so that we can better judge the physical condition. So how do you differentiate between pregnancy and menstruation? Let’s find out together.

What is the difference between early pregnancy and menstruation?

Symptoms of early pregnancy generally include nipple tingling, lower abdominal pain, drowsiness, low immunity, susceptibility to colds, etc. Before menstruation comes, the amount of leucorrhea will increase, and some people may also experience lower abdominal pain, breast pain, etc.

Therefore, this is not easy to distinguish. If you suspect that you are pregnant, you can use a test strip to detect it one week after having sex. Therefore, it is recommended that you buy an early pregnancy test strip to test it clearly.

Bleeding in early pregnancy is also called early pregnancy spotting, which refers to the appearance of a small amount of bloody secretions in the vagina within 12 weeks of pregnancy, similar to the amount of bleeding in the early or late menstruation. The bleeding may be pink, red, or brown in color. About 1/4 of pregnant women will experience varying degrees of spotting in the early stages of pregnancy, and about half of those who experience spotting will eventually suffer a miscarriage.

Bleeding in early pregnancy is related to factors such as cervical lesions, ectopic pregnancy, and hydatidiform mole. Bleeding in early pregnancy is often a dangerous sign. If you experience paroxysmal lower abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy, do not take it lightly and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

From a medical point of view, sexual life during pregnancy is not prohibited. Healthy and moderate sexual life can not only enhance the intimacy between couples, but also experience the joy of sexual intercourse, and it is also helpful in promoting the development of the fetus. But please note that it is best not to have sex in the early and late stages of pregnancy, but you can have sex moderately in the middle stage.

Many people suggest that pregnant mothers should try to reduce or avoid sexual intercourse in the early stages of pregnancy. Because the fetus is still unstable in the early stages of pregnancy, it is the period when miscarriage is most likely to occur, especially for pregnant women at high risk of miscarriage. Especially in the first three months of pregnancy, on the one hand, the placenta has not yet matured and the connection between the placenta and the uterine wall is not tight; on the other hand, the secretion of progesterone is insufficient and cannot provide strong protection for the embryo. Having sex at this time may cause miscarriage. In addition, after a woman becomes pregnant, her endocrine function changes, early pregnancy reactions, and considerations of the impact on the embryo reduce her demands for and responses to sexual life. Therefore, it is best not to have sex in the early stages of pregnancy.
