What is the difference between miscarriage and menstruation?

Abortion is a very regrettable thing for women, because it means that the pregnancy is accidentally interrupted and the development of the fetus stops. Abortion can be divided into accidental abortion and natural abortion, and either type of abortion will bring a huge blow to the body. Many women are still unable to distinguish the symptoms of accidental miscarriage. For example, what is the difference between accidental miscarriage and menstruation? Let's take a look at the explanation below.

1. Bleeding

Miscarriage: The amount of blood in miscarriage is small, so just use a sanitary pad.

Menstruation: The amount of menstrual blood is heavy, so sanitary napkins are needed.

2. Time

Miscarriage: Miscarriage bleeding is generally cyclical, that is, it occurs between two menstrual periods and is generally considered natural miscarriage bleeding.

Menstruation: Menstrual blood has a regular time. Generally, menstruation is only delayed or advanced by 3-7 days. If it exceeds this time period, you should pay attention to whether it is a pathological phenomenon.

Miscarriage: The color may be bright red, pink, or dark brown.

Menstruation: Menstruation is usually dark red blood, without nausea, vomiting and other reactions. Menstruation usually lasts for a few days and this time it should also be over in a few days.

4. Pain

Miscarriage: accompanied by mild lower abdominal pain, a feeling of falling when the fetus moves, lower back pain and abdominal distension.

Menstruation: Not accompanied by lower abdominal pain, etc.

5. Reaction

Miscarriage: There will be symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite.

Menstruation: Symptoms include bad temper, acne, cold hands and feet, etc.

Miscarriage: If you have been pregnant recently, whether it is miscarriage or not, the hcg value will continue to be positive.

Menstruation: As long as there is no pregnancy in the recent period, the hcg value will be negative.

The above is the editor’s introduction to the difference between miscarriage and menstruation for all female friends. I hope it can help you better distinguish the difference between miscarriage and menstruation. If you suspect pregnancy, it is recommended to use early pregnancy test strips and pregnancy test sticks or blood tests to determine whether you are pregnant after your menstruation is delayed for more than 10 days.
