Bleeding at 47 days of pregnancy

The thing that pregnant mothers fear most is that something goes wrong with the baby in their belly, so they will become very nervous once they find any abnormality in the body. In early pregnancy, brown discharge is common. Why is there brown discharge after pregnancy? Common causes of brown discharge in early pregnancy include the following:

1. Biochemical pregnancy

Biochemical pregnancy means that the sperm and egg have combined, but have not swam into the uterine cavity to implant, or have swam back and failed to successfully implant, which is called "hidden abortion." Generally, in the case of miscarriage within 5 weeks of pregnancy, HCG can be detected in the blood and it is higher than the normal value or the urine pregnancy test is positive, but the gestational sac cannot be seen on ultrasound examination. This is also called "subclinical miscarriage." Patients usually have no other symptoms, just like having their period, so it is often ignored.

2. Abnormal embryonic development

If the fetus develops abnormally, it will cause spontaneous abortion, most of which are due to chromosomal abnormalities. Data show that 50-60% of cases of early pregnancy abortion or fetal arrest are due to chromosomal abnormalities. Experts suggest that if brown secretions are found, after excluding abnormal development or lesions of the cervix or other genital organs, you should let nature take its course and do not try to preserve the pregnancy at will, otherwise bigger problems will arise later.

3. Cervical abnormalities

The most common cervical erosion is that if brown discharge appears the day after having sex (many people do not know they are pregnant), cervical erosion should be considered. Secondly, cervical polyps can also cause bleeding, and the bleeding will continue. More attention should be paid to decidual polyps, which are polyps unique to pregnancy and are more prone to bleeding than cervical polyps and will continue to bleed for a long time until the second trimester. This type of polyp cannot be surgically removed, otherwise it will cause miscarriage or continuous bleeding. Therefore, if you have brown discharge during early pregnancy, go to the obstetrics and gynecology department to check your cervix first.

In cases of malformations such as double uterus or rudimentary horn uterus, after a normal uterus becomes pregnant, the abnormal endometrium will thicken and cause a small amount of bleeding. Therefore, ultrasound examination is essential for early pregnancy bleeding.

4. Endometrial shedding

Due to individual differences and other reasons, some women's ovaries secrete relatively low levels of sex hormones, especially progesterone, after pregnancy, causing a small part of the endometrium to continue to shed. Therefore, these women will still have menstruation after pregnancy, but the amount of menstruation will be much less than normal. It is not until three months into pregnancy that the placenta is formed and the estrogen and progesterone levels in the female body are maintained at a relatively high level. At this time, the endometrium no longer sheds and menstruation no longer occurs.
