What is the reason for bleeding during 5 months of pregnancy?

Pregnancy is a special period in our lives for women, but many women report that they experience bleeding after a period of pregnancy. What is the reason for this and is it harmful to the baby's health? Today, I will give you a detailed introduction to some relevant health knowledge about lower body bleeding during pregnancy.

1. Miscarriage

symptom

It is more likely to occur before 12 weeks of pregnancy, with vaginal bleeding or lower abdominal pain.

If expectant mothers find that their menstrual cycle is overdue, they must first take a pregnancy test. If they are pregnant, ultrasound should be used to confirm whether the fertilized egg is in the correct implantation position. After confirming a normal intrauterine pregnancy, if bleeding is detected again, you should carefully observe the bleeding pattern and pain.

Bleeding pattern

If the blood appears brown, expectant mothers do not need to worry too much. Brown blood shows that bleeding has stopped, so it will oxidize into brown. Just get more rest and avoid exercise. If the blood appears bright red, you should pay attention.

In the early stages of pregnancy, miscarriage is more likely to occur when the embryo is not stable. At this time, the expectant mother needs to stay in bed and rest, and seek help from a professional doctor.

Pain

Most expectant mothers who suspect they may have early miscarriage will experience back pain and lower abdominal pain similar to that during their menstrual cycle.

Treatment

Bright red blood is not good for expectant mothers and must be treated immediately; if the vaginal discharge is brown, bed rest is recommended. Generally speaking, the bleeding situation can be improved, but whether the blood appears brown or bright red, you must let your doctor know so that you can get help in time.

Expectant mothers should pay attention to one thing: no matter the color of the blood, as long as abnormal bleeding occurs once a day, they must rest in bed for three days, avoid sit-ups and other exercises that involve the abdomen, and avoid holding urine, constipation and other situations that will increase intra-abdominal pressure.

2. Ectopic pregnancy

symptom

When the menstrual cycle is overdue, it is best for expectant mothers to take a pregnancy test first. After confirming the pregnancy, you can ask the doctor to help you confirm whether the implantation site is inside or outside the uterus.

Bleeding pattern

Usually there is a small amount of vaginal bleeding, but in severe cases there may also be intra-abdominal bleeding.

Pain

Severe abdominal pain, pale face, rapid heartbeat and intra-abdominal bleeding.

Treatment

There are two treatments for ectopic pregnancy: surgical treatment and drug treatment. Surgical treatment includes "salpingotomy", "salpingostomy" or "salpingectomy" to remove the fallopian tube mass and pregnancy tissue; drug treatment requires the use of anti-cancer drugs depending on the patient's physical condition.

In addition, special attention should be paid to the fact that expectant mothers with a history of ectopic pregnancy, abnormal uterine structure, intrauterine contraceptive device, or who have undergone fallopian tube surgery are all considered to be at high risk of ectopic pregnancy.

Through the above understanding, everyone should now be clear that women must pay attention to protecting their own health during pregnancy, try to avoid such symptoms, and avoid damage to their own and their baby's health.
