Pregnancy test results and menstruation

Pregnancy test results and menstruation

For women who are preparing for pregnancy, pregnancy is very important. The simplest way to check whether they are pregnant is menstruation. Many people who are anxious to get pregnant use early pregnancy test strips immediately when their menstruation does not arrive on time. If the test result is pregnancy, the whole family will be happy. However, menstruation may occur at this time, which is very worrying. This article introduces the reasons why the test paper shows pregnancy and menstruation occurs. Let’s take a look.

Spotting during pregnancy is not an uncommon thing. According to statistics, about 25% of pregnant women experience bleeding during pregnancy. In early pregnancy, which bleeding is normal and which needs to be treated in time? There are two situations to judge:

Threatened abortion

The most common condition of early pregnancy bleeding is threatened abortion. Threatened abortion refers to a disease in which a small amount of vaginal bleeding occurs in early pregnancy, which comes and goes, accompanied by mild lower abdominal pain and back pain. It may result in miscarriage, or it may continue the pregnancy after appropriate treatment. It is mainly due to the weak constitution of pregnant women, or caused by fatigue or trauma (including improper vaginal examination and sexual intercourse). It is equivalent to "miscarriage" in traditional Chinese medicine.

Ectopic pregnancy

Early ectopic pregnancy may not have symptoms, but later it may cause dangerous situations such as fainting and bleeding. It is best to determine whether the implantation site is correct before bleeding occurs so that the doctor can give appropriate treatment.

●Cervical lesions

If a pregnant woman has cervical lesions before pregnancy, resulting in erosion, or already has cervical polyps, then after pregnancy, it is very likely that the surface capillaries will rupture and bleed due to hormonal changes. Therefore, when a pregnant woman has symptoms of vaginal bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy, a cervical examination should be performed.

Hydatidiform mole

Pregnant women with hydatidiform mole may also experience pregnancy bleeding, accompanied by severe morning sickness or palpitations. Women who are younger than 20 or older than 35, who have a history of miscarriage or hydatidiform mole, etc. should be careful about whether they may get pregnant with hydatidiform mole again.

▏Bleeding during early pregnancy, how to protect the fetus scientifically?

Get enough rest: Pregnant women should also get enough rest and reduce strenuous exercise and tension. The proper rest mentioned here does not mean that you have to stay in bed and cannot get out of bed. In fact, you can still continue activities such as daily life and walking.

Stop sexual intercourse: Pregnant women should also pay attention to stopping sexual intercourse when bleeding occurs to prevent further aggravation of bleeding.

Keep bowel movements smooth: Eat more foods rich in fiber to promote intestinal peristalsis and keep bowel movements smooth, which are also very important for successful pregnancy preservation.

Drug-assisted pregnancy preservation: When it comes to specific methods of preserving pregnancy during early pregnancy, the doctor will choose injections or oral medications based on the condition of the pregnant woman. Currently, this type of medicine mainly consists of natural progesterone, which is relatively safe for babies.

Do not take pregnancy-preserving drugs easily during pregnancy. Instead, you should carefully check the cause of bleeding and make a comprehensive analysis of the examination results, rather than using a certain result as the basis for treatment. Because most pregnancy bleeding is caused by abnormal embryos or other reasons, abnormal hormone levels only account for a small part, blindly preserving the fetus can sometimes affect normal diagnosis and treatment.

How to prevent spotting during early pregnancy

1. Try to avoid or reduce childbirth at an advanced age (≥35 years old).

2. Those with a history of abnormal pregnancy and childbirth should receive eugenics counseling before pregnancy.

3. Actively adjust your physical and mental state before pregnancy, including actively treating existing underlying diseases, such as hepatitis, diabetes, thyroid disease, hypertension, nephritis, etc.

4. You should also establish good living habits and quit bad habits such as smoking, alcoholism, excessive coffee drinking, drug use, etc.

5. Moderate exercise can enhance physical fitness.

6. Eat a balanced diet.

7. Learn to self-regulate, reduce stress, and maintain a calm and positive attitude.

8. During pregnancy, especially in the early stages of pregnancy (before 8 weeks of pregnancy), avoid infection and fever. Do not overexpose to radiation and chemicals such as arsenic, lead, formaldehyde, benzene (such as moving into a newly renovated room, dyeing your hair, etc.). Do not take any medication on your own.

If you experience symptoms of threatened abortion during pregnancy, such as vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, back pain, etc., please seek medical attention immediately. During the treatment of pregnancy, pay attention to rest and stay in bed as much as possible. Pay attention to the amount and nature of vaginal bleeding, observe whether there is tissue in the discharge at any time, reduce stimulation, and prohibit sexual intercourse.
