Menstrual bleeding during menstruation

If menstruation is delayed and accompanied by vaginal bleeding, the possibility of pregnancy should be ruled out first. Guidance: It is recommended to have a blood hcg test to find out if there is any possibility of pregnancy. If you are not pregnant, it is likely that you are having your period.

What are the symptoms of early pregnancy

What are the symptoms of early pregnancy? The most obvious symptom of early pregnancy is the cessation of menstruation. In addition, pregnant women may also experience symptoms such as breast swelling, frequent urination, and mild vaginal bleeding. Some pregnant women may also experience nausea, headache, dizziness, and emotional instability. If you find the above symptoms, you should take an early pregnancy test in time because you are very likely pregnant.

1. Stopping of menstruation

If a couple has sexual intercourse around the ovulation period without taking any contraceptive measures, and their menstrual cycles are normal, but they suddenly experience amenorrhea symptoms for more than 5 days, they may be pregnant.

2. Nausea and vomiting

Many pregnant women will experience morning sickness starting around the 5th week of pregnancy. Nausea may occur especially in the morning and evening, and vomiting may occur without any reason. The cause of morning sickness is currently unknown, but data suggest that it may be related to human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in the human body. When you first become pregnant, the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in your body begins to increase. The higher the level of this hormone, the more likely you are to feel nauseous.

3. Breast enlargement and tenderness

In the first week or two after conception, your breasts will become larger and softer. Due to the stimulation of pregnancy, the pregnant woman's body will produce a lot of estrogen and progesterone, causing the glands in the breasts to begin to grow, so the breasts will become larger. These hormones also cause the breasts to retain more fluid, so they may become sore and tender.

4. Increased leucorrhea

After pregnancy, the estrogen in the body gradually increases as the pregnancy months increase. Estrogen can promote the secretion of mucus by the cervix and endometrial glands. The blood flow to the genitals, vagina, and cervix of pregnant women is vigorous, and the tissue water increases, so the secretions also increase, and the amount of leucorrhea also increases accordingly.

5. Mild vaginal bleeding

The fertilized egg will implant in the uterus within 6-12 days after conception, which may cause slight vaginal bleeding in pregnant women. If this happens, pregnant women do not need to worry if the vaginal bleeding is mild and there are no serious discomfort symptoms. This is a normal physiological reaction when the fertilized egg implants and is harmless to the human body. Implantation bleeding of the fertilized egg manifests as a small amount of blood or blood spots, which can be seen several times a day. The bleeding lasts for about three days, and there is no discomfort during menstruation. Implantation bleeding of the fertilized egg needs to be distinguished from menstruation to prevent pregnant women from being pregnant without knowing it.

6. Loss of appetite

Loss of appetite may begin as early as 2 weeks after conception. Because the secretion of flavonoids will reduce the functions of many body systems and affect the digestive system, it may sometimes cause constipation and indigestion.

7. Physical fatigue

In the early stages of pregnancy, some pregnant women's bodies secrete a hormone that acts like an anesthetic. Its main ingredient is progesterone, which mainly acts on the uterus. These substances relax the muscle fibers of the uterus, preventing premature pain and allowing the fetus to grow undisturbed. But this progesterone will raise your basal body temperature, so you will lack physical energy. Also, your heart rate will increase to provide more oxygen to the uterus, so you will feel tired.

8. Frequent urination

You may think that frequent urination is a symptom that won’t come so early, and that it will only appear when the fetus is able to squeeze the bladder, but in fact, this symptom may appear in the early stages of pregnancy. Frequent urination in early pregnancy is mainly caused by changes in hormonal secretions in the body. Not only does the expanded uterus put pressure on the bladder, but the increased blood flow also puts pressure on the kidneys, leading to increased urine.

9. Emotional instability

If you find yourself crying over a small scene in a TV show, don't be surprised. It may be related to the hormones secreted during pregnancy. You may be able to cry or laugh in an instant.

10. Swelling, cramps, and back pain

Many women mistake these symptoms for those of PMS, when in reality they are due to hormonal changes and the growth of the uterus.

11. Dizziness

Your body temperature will rise due to the secretion of hormones, so you may easily feel light-headed. It takes a little longer than normal for blood to flow to the brain. Hypoglycemia is also an important cause of dizziness.

12. Headache

Some women experience frequent headaches during early pregnancy. In addition to the factors of hormone secretion, headaches may also be caused by insufficient water intake and low blood sugar. But as the pregnancy progresses, the headaches will gradually decrease.
