Threatened abortion bleeding like menstruation

Any reaction of a woman during pregnancy should be paid attention to. Any insignificant symptom may be a precursor to miscarriage, especially pregnant women with vaginal bleeding should pay more attention. Because after a woman becomes pregnant, the uterus will stop ovulating, and therefore she will no longer have menstruation. At this time, if bleeding occurs, it cannot be ruled out and there is a possibility of miscarriage. You should go to the hospital for examination in time. So how do you differentiate between threatened abortion and menstruation?

How to distinguish threatened abortion bleeding from menstruation

1. Threatened abortion is characterized by small amount of bleeding, no or mild lower abdominal pain, no tissue discharge, and subsequent paroxysmal lower abdominal pain or back pain.

2. After rest and treatment, the symptoms disappear and the pregnancy can continue; if the amount of vaginal bleeding increases or the lower abdominal pain worsens, miscarriage may become inevitable.

3. Menstrual blood is dark red. In addition to blood, it also contains endometrial fragments, cervical mucus and exfoliated vaginal epithelial cells. Menstrual blood contains prostaglandins and large amounts of plasmin from the endometrium.

4. Due to the dissolving effect of plasmin on fibrin, menstrual blood does not coagulate. Blood clots will only appear when bleeding is heavy. Normal menstrual volume is 30-50ml, and more than 80ml is considered menorrhagia.

Things to note when you have your period

1. Women should avoid eating salty food before menstruation. Because salty food will increase the body's salt and water storage, before menstruation, the progesterone level will increase, which can easily lead to edema, headaches and other phenomena.

2. Many women who like to drink carbonated beverages will experience fatigue and lack of energy during menstruation, which is a sign of iron deficiency. Because soda and other beverages mostly contain phosphates, they react chemically with iron in the body, making it difficult to absorb the iron. In addition, drinking too much soda will neutralize the sodium bicarbonate in the soda with gastric juice, reducing the digestive ability and bactericidal effect of gastric acid and affecting appetite.

3. Do not eat spicy food and chili peppers before menstruation, and eat less fatty meat, animal oil and sweets.

4. Spicy and cold foods are irritating and can easily cause pelvic blood vessel constriction, resulting in too little menstrual blood flow or even sudden cessation of menstrual blood flow. In addition, irritating substances such as tobacco and alcohol will also have a certain impact on menstruation. If you are not careful to avoid them, dysmenorrhea or menstrual disorders will occur in the long run.

If you find that you have threatened miscarriage, don’t be too anxious. Go to the hospital for a check-up first and see what the situation is. If you are menstruating, you must take good care of yourself and be careful not to eat cold food. Whatever you do, don't rush and cause trouble. Being unhappy cannot solve problems. Good things will happen if you maintain a good mood.
