What is the cause of bleeding in 6 months of pregnancy?

Vaginal bleeding in the sixth month of pregnancy, which is around 24 weeks of pregnancy, requires further investigation of the cause. There are many reasons for vaginal bleeding. First of all, inflammation of the vagina and cervix may cause vaginal bleeding. For example, cervical polyps can cause vaginal bleeding, which requires a gynecological examination for diagnosis. In addition, a liquid-based cytology test of the cervix can be performed to determine whether there is a cervical tumor, especially bleeding caused by cervical cancer.

Another reason is placenta previa, and the location of the embryo can be determined through ultrasound movement. If placenta previa occurs, close observation and follow-up are required, considering that the cause of vaginal bleeding is related to placenta previa. There are also more common reasons, which are threatened abortion or threatened premature birth. By checking the length of the cervical canal through color ultrasound, it can be determined whether there is cervical insufficiency. At the same time, if there is uterine contraction, it is a manifestation of threatened abortion and can be appropriately treated to preserve the pregnancy.

If you bleed during the sixth month of pregnancy, pay attention to the size of the bleeding and also pay attention to whether there is abdominal pain. If abdominal pain occurs, it is considered to be a threatened miscarriage. You should stay in bed and rest, and avoid strenuous exercise. During this period, it is best to do a B-ultrasound examination. If there is a threat of miscarriage, tocolytic treatment should be used.

In the case of six months of pregnancy, magnesium sulfate can be used as a tocolytic drug. It can inhibit smooth muscle spasms, reduce uterine contractions, and have the effect of tocolytic. If there is only bleeding, without abdominal pain or abdominal hardness, it may be a gynecological infection. In the case of cervicitis, vaginitis or cervical erosion, vaginal bleeding is very likely to occur. A gynecological examination is required, and medication can be used to treat the disease after the condition is clarified.
