What should I do if I have vaginal bleeding during pregnancy? Learn these methods!

For women, pregnancy is a very dangerous stage. During this stage, the hormones in the body will continue to change, causing women to experience many uncomfortable symptoms. For example, some women will experience vaginal bleeding during pregnancy. At this time, you must be cautious, find the cause in time, and do a good job of vaginal hygiene care. Here are some solutions.

1. Bleeding in early pregnancy

(1) Miscarriage

See a doctor immediately and have an ultrasound to understand the condition of the embryo. If there is heavy bleeding, it is very likely to be a miscarriage and a curettage should be performed promptly. If the amount of bleeding is small, it may just be a threatened miscarriage. If the doctor treats it promptly, the fetus will most likely survive.

(2) Ectopic pregnancy

It needs to be dealt with promptly, otherwise it will endanger life safety. If bleeding occurs in the lower body and is accompanied by abdominal pain, seek medical attention immediately. Those who have had a history of ectopic pregnancy should be more vigilant. It is recommended to undergo an ultrasound examination in the early stages of pregnancy to confirm whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy.

2. Bleeding during mid-pregnancy

(1) Cervical insufficiency

It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination. Once confirmed, a cervical cerclage is performed. The operation is very short, lasting about 5 to 10 minutes, and it is more appropriate to perform the operation between 14 and 20 weeks of pregnancy, and the effect is better.

(2) Hydatidiform mole

Early treatment is recommended, usually requiring uterine dilatation and curettage. It should be noted that hydatidiform mole is likely to deteriorate into choriocarcinoma, so continuous observation and examination are required.

3. Bleeding in late pregnancy

(1) Placenta previa

See a doctor as soon as possible. B-ultrasound is usually used to diagnose whether this phenomenon occurs. If the fetus is not fully developed, doctors will generally recommend that the pregnant woman stay in the hospital for observation and, if necessary, receive a blood transfusion, and wait until the fetus is mature before delivering by caesarean section. But if the expectant mother has heavy and continuous bleeding, the safety of the expectant mother should be the top priority.

(2) Placental abruption

If the symptoms are diagnosed to be mild, doctors will generally adopt conservative treatment and let expectant mothers rest in bed and stay in the hospital for observation. If the situation is extremely urgent, the fetus must be delivered from the mother's body. If the fetus is in distress, a caesarean section is more appropriate.

4. Other vaginal bleeding conditions

(1) Cervical erosion

If the situation is not serious and there are no problems such as uterine relaxation, it generally will not lead to miscarriage or fetal malformation. If it is caused by physiological factors, it will not affect the fetus and no medication or physical treatment is needed. If necessary, treatment is recommended after delivery.

If the cervix is ​​eroded, expectant mothers do not need to panic during pregnancy and can just focus on taking care of the baby.

(2) Urinary tract infection

Generally, red urine will appear, but some drugs can also cause the urine to be red, so pregnant women need to distinguish whether the hematuria is true or not. It is recommended that expectant mothers go to the hospital for examination and treatment.

(3) Hemorrhoids

It is recommended to pay attention to dietary conditioning, try to avoid spicy and fried foods, and try to eat easily digestible foods to avoid constipation. It is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables rich in crude fiber, which not only helps defecation but also relieves discomfort.

(4) Excessive fatigue

Expectant mothers must ensure that they get enough sleep (8 to 9 hours), have a regular daily life, and do some housework at home within their ability. Of course, it is also necessary to do some moderate exercise. However, if the expectant mother is a working woman and has a heavy workload, it is recommended that she first apply for transfer to a job with a smaller workload.
