What causes light bleeding during pregnancy?

Some female friends will find different degrees of bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy. At this time, they should pay great attention to it and try to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to avoid ectopic pregnancy or frequent miscarriage that affects the health of the fetus. It also poses a threat to women's health. The following editor will introduce some common reasons that may cause female friends to experience small amounts of bleeding during pregnancy.

1. Ectopic pregnancy

Light bleeding and persistent pain in the lower abdomen, sometimes with a sudden increase in pain. Because the symptoms are similar to those of miscarriage and are easily confused, sufficient attention should be given to it. In the 4th or 5th week of pregnancy, a vaginal ultrasound device can be used to confirm whether it is an ectopic pregnancy.

2. Threatened abortion

There will be a small amount of irregular bleeding, repeated cramps in the lower abdomen, and accompanied by back pain or abdominal tension. As the amount of bleeding gradually increases, the fertilized egg will sometimes be discharged from the body together with the blood clots. If the uterus is infected, it may also cause fever.

3. Early placental abruption

Sudden severe pain in the abdomen, usually accompanied by bleeding, but sometimes without bleeding. If the area of ​​dissection is extended, the abdomen will become hard. If the pain is severe and there is heavy bleeding, you should go to the hospital for relevant treatment in time.

4. Caused by cervical lesions

If the cervix is ​​severely inflamed and eroded, or if there are already cervical polyps, it is easy for the surface capillaries to rupture and bleed due to hormonal changes after pregnancy.

5. Placenta previa

No pain, intermittent bleeding. Sometimes contractions and heavy bleeding may occur. The position of the placenta can be diagnosed by ultrasound at an early stage and is not a big deal if the attending physician does not raise any abnormalities.

Therefore, if female friends find bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy, they should go to the hospital for examination accompanied by their family. If it is found to be caused by the above reasons, it is best to take some effective methods for treatment under the advice of a professional doctor to minimize the damage to the female body.
