Pregnancy is a process that many women will go through. During pregnancy, most of the food consumed by pregnant women will be absorbed by the child. Therefore, for the health of pregnant women and children, it is very necessary to always pay attention to the physical health of pregnant women. Purpura is a common skin infection among many pregnant women. It is also one of the most serious skin diseases and requires timely medical treatment and appropriate treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the symptoms of purpura in pregnant women and do a good job in the prevention and treatment of purpura.

1. Clinical manifestations of acute purpura of pregnancy

1. The onset is acute and may include fever and chills, sudden onset of widespread and severe skin and mucous membrane purpura and even large ecchymoses or hematomas. Skin petechiae are mostly systemic, mostly on the lower limbs, and are evenly distributed.

2. Mucosal bleeding is often seen in the nose and gums, and blood blisters may occur in the mouth. Gastrointestinal and urinary tract bleeding is uncommon, and intracranial hemorrhage is rare but life-threatening. The spleen is often not enlarged, the platelet count is significantly reduced, and the course of the disease is usually self-limited, so more than 80% of patients can recover on their own.

2. Clinical manifestations of chronic purpura of pregnancy

1. Chronic patients often have repeated bleeding episodes, and each bleeding episode can last for several days to several months.

2. The degree of bleeding is related to the platelet count. A platelet count >50×109/L is often bleeding after injury. A platelet count of (10-50)×109/L may cause spontaneous bleeding to varying degrees. A platelet count <10×109/L often indicates severe bleeding.

3. Skin purpura is more common in the distal lower limbs and may be accompanied by bleeding from the nose, gums and oral mucosa. Heavy menstrual bleeding is sometimes the only symptom in women. There are also deaths caused by intracranial hemorrhage.

3. Does purpura affect the fetus in pregnant women?

If it is allergic purpura, it is not caused by platelets, then the impact on the fetus is smaller, but if it is thrombocytopenic purpura, the impact on the fetus will be greater. Therefore, no matter what type of purpura pregnant women have, it will affect the fetus. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination. There are many reasons for purpura, and there are many types of purpura, which have a certain impact on the fetus. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination, preferably to a specialized gynecological hospital, which will be good for you and your fetus.
