What is the reason for the dark area of ​​liquid next to the gestational sac?

Many pregnant women will find that there is a dark liquid area next to their gestational sac during prenatal checkups. There are many reasons that lead to this problem, such as threatened abortion, low progesterone or uterine hypoplasia, which are all common pathological causes. Of course, this may also be caused by implantation bleeding. Implantation bleeding is a normal physiological phenomenon. Next, I will introduce to you the reasons why there is a dark liquid area next to the gestational sac!

1. Normal physiological phenomena

Generally speaking, the dark area with liquid around the gestational sac is caused by a small amount of bleeding. This situation is mostly caused by bleeding when the fertilized egg implants. It will usually be slowly absorbed by the body and there is no need to worry too much.

Recommendation: Check HCG regularly and observe the progesterone value. If the progesterone value is low, take timely treatment to preserve the pregnancy.

Note: Pay attention to rest in the early stages of pregnancy, eat a balanced diet, and take appropriate folic acid supplements to prevent fetal neural tube defects. Go to the hospital regularly for pregnancy checkups.

2. Threatened abortion

The presence of a dark area of ​​fluid next to the gestational sac in the early stages of pregnancy is usually caused by bleeding, and threatened abortion can also cause bleeding. Even heavy and repeated bleeding may cause hemorrhagic anemia, and may also affect the blood supply to the fetus, leading to fetal hypoxia, and in severe cases can cause stillbirth or miscarriage.

Recommendation: In the presence of fetal heartbeat and fetal bud, timely conservative treatment is generally provided, which generally includes: preserving the fetus, intramuscular injection of HCG and progesterone. In addition, absolute bed rest is required, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited, spicy and irritating foods are abstained, bowel movements are maintained, and the mood is maintained to be good.

3. Uterine hypoplasia

The presence of a dark area with fluid next to the gestational sac may be caused by the pregnant woman's own uterine hypoplasia. Some pregnant women have congenital uterine hypoplasia, which leads to bleeding during pregnancy, resulting in a diagnostic report of a dark area with fluid during B-ultrasound examination.

4. Insufficient progesterone hormone

If the progesterone level is low during pregnancy, it will affect the normal development of the fetus, cause uterine bleeding, cause the fetus to stop developing, and in severe cases lead to miscarriage.

Therefore, progesterone plays an important role in maintaining the thickness of the endometrium and in the formation and maintenance of the placenta.

If, during pregnancy, you find a dark area next to the gestational sac, you should also pay attention to whether it is caused by progesterone deficiency.
