What is the cause of spotting during the seventh week of pregnancy?

Some pregnant women have problems during pregnancy, so they need to pay attention to taking timely treatment methods to ensure that they will not encounter dangerous situations. Once the pregnant woman has bleeding, she must pay attention to taking timely treatment. So what is the matter with spotting in the seventh week of pregnancy? Well, let me introduce this issue to you below.

Generally, during the first three months of pregnancy, the fetus develops unstable and is prone to threatened abortion and complete abortion.

Spotting at 7 weeks of pregnancy indicates threatened abortion. You need to stay in bed, refrain from sexual intercourse, and get more rest. It is best to have a blood test to check progesterone and HCG. If the progesterone level is low, you need to take oral or injected progesterone to preserve the pregnancy. Generally, most cases can successfully preserve the pregnancy.

The color, quantity and quality of the bleeding should be identified first. If any of the three conditions, pink, brown, or sticky leucorrhea with blood, occurs and the amount of bleeding is very small, there is generally no need to worry. However, be sure to report it to your doctor during your next health check-up. Even if the amount of bleeding is small, if the blood is not sticky at all, it may cause serious trouble. Please go to the hospital for examination immediately.

The uterus is the place where the fetus is nurtured. The early stages of pregnancy when the placenta has not yet fully developed are a time when the uterus is particularly prone to bleeding. Subchorionic hematoma and threatened abortion are the main causes of bleeding in early pregnancy, but the miscarriage they cause is not common, so there is no need to worry too much.

1. Subchorionic hematoma: The villi are tiny protrusions that extend from the fetal bud to the endometrium in the early stages of pregnancy. When the villi combine with the implantation surface on the maternal side, the maternal blood vessels are damaged, and the blood that flows out coagulates to form a hematoma, which is a subchorionic hematoma. Because the blood discharged is accumulated, it is dark brown in color and the bleeding can last from several days to several weeks.

2. Threatened abortion: It is the initial state of abortion caused by uterine contraction before 22 weeks of pregnancy. If the bleeding is red or brown and is accompanied by abdominal tightness and pain, it may be a threatened miscarriage and you need to see a doctor immediately.

3. Implantation bleeding (menstrual-like bleeding): a very small amount of bleeding that occurs after the fertilized egg implants. The amount of bleeding is small, and the color of the blood is similar to the dark red at the beginning of menstruation. Most of the time, it stops quickly, so there is no need to worry.

4. Cervical polyp: a common benign tumor during pregnancy. The bleeding is red and mixed with leucorrhea, and the amount of bleeding varies depending on the symptoms. It can be removed, but is not usually done during pregnancy.

The above is my opinion on this issue. If a pregnant woman has the above problems, she should pay attention to take the above methods for treatment in time to ensure the health of the fetus and avoid dangerous situations caused by the above fetal problems, which is not conducive to the safety of the fetus. Finally, I wish the pregnant woman a smooth delivery.
