Brown bleeding in early pregnancy

The early stages of pregnancy refer to the time when a woman has just become pregnant. Women’s health during this period should be paid special attention to because their bodies will become particularly weak, and they will often experience miscarriage for some reasons. There are also many symptoms during this period, including the appearance of brown blood. So what is the cause of brown bleeding in early pregnancy?

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. People usually have no other symptoms.

Abnormal embryonic development. If the fetus develops abnormally, it will cause spontaneous abortion, most of which are chromosomal abnormalities. 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 attempt to preserve the pregnancy. Otherwise, bigger problems will arise later.

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.

The uterine lining is 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.

Ectopic pregnancy. It refers to the abnormal pregnancy process in which the fertilized egg implants and develops outside the uterine cavity. Ectopic pregnancy often has brown secretions, which are dark red in color, small in amount, and continuous, generally not exceeding the amount of menstruation. Decidual tubular casts or fragments may be discharged with vaginal bleeding. Ectopic pregnancy is extremely harmful. Not only can the fertilized egg fail to develop into a normal fetus, but if the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are not detected and treated early, it may be life-threatening.
