Is implantation bleeding normal?

When the fertilized egg implants and bleeds, there are generally no other accompanying symptoms, such as abdominal pain, menstrual discomfort, etc. This is a normal physiological reaction to implantation and you only need to keep the vulva clean. However, if the amount of bleeding is heavy and continuous, women need to be alert to whether it is caused by pathological bleeding. The following reasons can cause pathological bleeding in women:

1. Abortion: When the decidua basalis bleeds, the placenta and uterine wall separate and stimulate the uterus, causing the uterus to contract, the cervix to dilate, and blood to flow out of the uterus. This type of bleeding is often accompanied by lower abdominal pain. The amount of bleeding increases from a small amount to a large amount, the color changes from dark to red, and the abdominal pain gradually develops from dull pain to more severe pain.

2. Ectopic pregnancy : When the fertilized egg develops to a certain extent, the wall of the fallopian tube will rupture and cause bleeding. Because this bleeding is intra-abdominal, vaginal bleeding may not be significant. However, this kind of blood loss often leads to fainting, shock, etc. If not treated in time, it may cause the patient's death.

3. Hydatidiform mole : Hydatidiform mole miscarriage usually begins 2-3 months after amenorrhea. Bleeding is usually intermittent and small in quantity, but some cases may have repeated and heavy bleeding.

In addition, cervical polyps, cervical cancer, placenta previa or low-lying placenta, etc. can also cause vaginal bleeding.
