What is the cause of bleeding after sex one month into pregnancy?

In the early stages of pregnancy, women need to protect themselves comprehensively. The fetus is very unstable at this time. If they do not pay attention to their own physical condition, it is easy to cause miscarriage, which will cause serious harm to both themselves and the fetus. Women should also pay attention to this. So what is the matter with bleeding after having sex one month into the pregnancy? Many women are not clear about this. Let's introduce it in detail below.

What is the cause of bleeding after sex during pregnancy?

1. Pregnancy bleeding caused by maternal conditions is mainly caused by uterine diseases or progesterone deficiency.

2. Pregnancy bleeding caused by the embryo itself is mainly due to problems with the embryo itself. If there is a problem in this regard, the situation is still not very optimistic.

3. Pregnancy bleeding caused by external stimulation. During pregnancy, the uterus and abdominal cavity themselves will be in a state of congestion and will appear very fragile. Sometimes even the slightest stimulation or slight movement can cause bleeding.

What to do if you have bleeding during pregnancy

If vaginal bleeding occurs one month into your pregnancy, you must seek medical attention as soon as possible.

The doctor will first assess the amount of bleeding and measure blood pressure and pulse to determine whether immediate hospitalization is needed. The patient will then be asked some relevant information, such as the date of the last menstrual period, whether the menstrual period is regular, whether she has ever experienced morning sickness and breast tenderness and whether these symptoms still exist, and whether she has symptoms of lower abdominal pain. Then further physical examination will be carried out and a preliminary judgment will be made. If necessary, an ultrasound examination and blood test for serum levels of "beta-human chorionic gonadotropin" (abbreviated as chorionic hormone) or progesterone will be arranged to help diagnose whether it is a normal intrauterine pregnancy, spontaneous abortion, ectopic pregnancy or hydatidiform mole.

Regarding the examination of chorionic villus, it is usually more valuable to compare the values ​​of two blood draws 48 hours apart. In patients with normal intrauterine pregnancy, the second value will usually be more than 66% higher than the first. If the increase is not enough or there is a decrease, it may be an ectopic pregnancy or incomplete abortion. At this time, uterine dilatation and curettage or laparoscopy should be arranged for further diagnosis.

After understanding what causes bleeding after having sex one month into pregnancy, women should avoid having sex in the early stages of pregnancy. Moreover, women should be careful when having sex after three months of pregnancy to avoid causing other problems to the fetus. Couples should also pay attention to this.
