The difference between early pregnancy and menstruation

Many girls are pregnant for the first time and don’t understand many things during the pregnancy period. In the early stages of pregnancy, you may experience vaginal bleeding. This is not menstruation, but a normal excretion response of the body. However, if a girl encounters this situation, she will think that she has affected the fetus, and will always be worried, not knowing how to solve the problem. She may even panic and seek medical treatment blindly. So, what is the difference between early menstruation and menstrual bleeding?

1. Will I still have my period if I am pregnant?

Menstruation after pregnancy? Generally speaking, women's menstruation will stop after pregnancy, and there will be no menstruation phenomenon. Why do some people still find that they have menstruation?

1. Vaginal bleeding: Bleeding after pregnancy is common in pregnancy complicated by cervical polyps or erosions. Cervical cancer can also cause vaginal bleeding. In very rare cases, menstruation during pregnancy can be understood as a physiological reaction after the fertilized egg implants.

2. Threatened abortion: There is a history of amenorrhea, and the urine pregnancy test is positive, confirming pregnancy. In this case, if vaginal bleeding occurs, or is accompanied by back pain or abdominal pain, threatened abortion should be considered first, and the possibility of ectopic pregnancy should also be considered.

Menstruation after pregnancy is not true menstruation, but bleeding caused by lesions in the uterus or its appendages. You should be especially alert to ectopic pregnancy and threatened abortion, which are both very dangerous. If you get your period again after becoming pregnant, you should go to the hospital for a check-up immediately. Find out the cause of bleeding so that timely treatment can be provided.

2. Reasons for menstruation after pregnancy

If a married woman who has always had normal menstruation suddenly stops having menstruation, it is a good sign for the birth of a new life. However, a small number of women still have a small amount of vaginal bleeding during their original menstrual cycle every month within the first three months after pregnancy.

Having menstruation after pregnancy is implantation bleeding that occurs after the fertilized egg implants. In early pregnancy, when the egg is fertilized and implanted, chorionic gonadotropin begins to appear in the urine and reaches its peak in the 8th week of pregnancy. This hormone has a similar effect to luteinizing hormone and can cause the corpus luteum of the ovary to develop into the corpus luteum of pregnancy. The corpus luteum of pregnancy continues to secrete estrogen and progesterone, causing the endometrium to become decidua, ensuring the continued development and growth of the fertilized egg.
