Will bleeding during pregnancy lead to miscarriage?

When a woman becomes pregnant, her physical health will also affect the health of the fetus in her belly, so pregnant women should supplement nutrition, get more rest, avoid excessive fatigue and maintain a happy mood throughout the pregnancy, which will also have many benefits for the development of the fetus. If a pregnant woman suffers from some diseases during pregnancy, such as bleeding during bowel movements, she should go to the hospital for examination in time.

Will bleeding during pregnancy lead to miscarriage?

Early pregnancy bleeding is a very common physiological phenomenon during pregnancy, and bleeding may still occur during the normal development of the embryo. Not all vaginal bleeding during pregnancy is called threatened abortion. Only vaginal bleeding that occurs during the separation process of the embryo due to embryo arrest and is about to be expelled from the body is called threatened abortion. Threatened miscarriage has nothing to do with transvaginal ultrasound. Vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain indicate abnormal conditions and may be pregnancy-related diseases such as ectopic pregnancy, spontaneous abortion, hydatidiform mole, etc. You should see a doctor as soon as possible and have an ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis to avoid delaying the disease.

People at high risk of ectopic pregnancy, those who have undergone multiple artificial abortions or medical abortions, those with a history of acute or chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, those with obstructed fallopian tubes, those who have used emergency contraceptives, etc., should have a vaginal ultrasound examination as soon as possible to determine the location of the gestational sac.

What is the cause of blood in the stool of pregnant women?

Blood in the stool of pregnant women is usually caused by hemorrhoids, but it may also be caused by diseases such as anal fistula, anal fissure, and rectal polyps.

1. Hemorrhoids

During pregnancy, the uterus enlarges as the fetus grows, which puts pressure on the veins and causes obstruction of rectal venous blood return. The pressure is more obvious in pregnant women with malpositioned fetuses. In addition, due to the reduced activity of pregnant women, gastrointestinal motility slows down, which can easily cause constipation. Defecation requires a lot of abdominal pressure, which aggravates rectal venous congestion, causing the veins in the anus to expand and thicken, twist into a ball, and rupture, bleed, and cause pain, which then develop into hemorrhoids. Severe hemorrhoids can cause bleeding, resulting in blood in the stool.

2. Rectal polyps

In this case, the main symptom is painless bleeding in the stool. Bleeding occurs during bowel movements and stops after bowel movements. The amount of blood varies, and generally the blood does not mix with feces. However, if the polyps are located high and numerous, they may also mix with feces.

3. Anal fissure

Pregnant women with anal fissures often have blood in their stools. The bleeding occurs in the form of blood on one side of the stool surface that is not mixed with the stool. Some patients have blood dripping after defecation. To determine whether the above diseases are the cause of bloody stools, an electronic anorectal endoscopy can be used for examination and diagnosis.

4. Upper respiratory tract bleeding

Upper gastrointestinal bleeding mainly manifests as black stools, often accompanied by other symptoms and signs such as vomiting blood, palpitations, fatigue, and anemia.
