Is there false menstruation after pregnancy?

A common sense that everyone should know is that women will not have menstruation after becoming pregnant, because the changes in estrogen in the female body at this time prevent menstruation. However, some pregnant women will find some traces of blood on their lower body. If it is not a sign of miscarriage, could it be false menstruation? Today I will give you a detailed introduction on whether pregnant women have false menstruation.

1. Causes of false menstruation during pregnancy

1. Vaginal bleeding: Bleeding after pregnancy is also 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.

3. Polyps: Polyps are small benign bumps formed at the opening of the uterus. The blood flowing out of the vagina sometimes mixes with the secretions flowing out of the cervical canal.

4. Ectopic pregnancy: Because the fertilized egg does not implant and develop in the uterine cavity, but implants and develops anywhere outside the uterine cavity, it causes vaginal bleeding.

5. Mucous membrane: It is the red erosion area of ​​the vagina or uterine opening. Bleeding may be caused by external stimulation such as sexual intercourse or gynecological examination.

6. Spontaneous abortion: There is a small amount of vaginal bleeding, and the color may be bright red, pink or dark brown depending on the amount of bleeding. Sometimes there will be mild lower abdominal pain, a feeling of falling during fetal movement, and mild back pain and abdominal distension.

7. Placenta: If the placenta falls off or separates from the endometrium, it will cause bleeding. If the placenta falls off, the fetus will not get oxygen and nutrition. At this time, the pregnant woman must take measures and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

2. How to prevent false pregnancy

1. Psychological decompression: Especially for couples who want to get pregnant but have not succeeded in getting pregnant, the psychological pressure will inevitably be greater. If female friends have the care and support of their family, they can relieve their emotions, and if there is a false pregnancy, it can be eliminated quickly.

2. Regular check-ups: Through regular prenatal check-ups, it is easy to avoid the confusion of false pregnancy. Whether you are pregnant should be based on the results of formal testing conducted in a professional hospital.

3. Targeted treatment: Do not make random guesses or draw blind “conclusions” as this may hinder normal pregnancy. If a female friend wants to get pregnant but has been unable to do so, experts suggest that she should go to a professional hospital to see a gynecologist or expert in obstetrics and gynecology to receive infertility treatment, which is the best way.
