ept clean, generally will not affect embryo development.
In addition, after pregnancy, Hormones dilate blood vessels in the uterus and abdominal cavity, Change the state of the surface of the cervix, Make the cervix softer and more fragile, This makes it easier to bleed. Even slight stimulation or exercise may cause bleeding, such as a small amount of bleeding after sex. Women with cervical inflammation, such as cervical polyps, may also have a small amount of spontaneous bleeding or contact bleeding due to dilatation of capillaries on the cervical surface after pregnancy .
Small bleeding may also be a big hidden danger.
Most of the small amount of bleeding in the early stage of pregnancy will not affect the continuation of pregnancy. Of course, it is better to make a more accurate judgment and inform the doctor of the situation. Because sometimes, vaginal bleeding may be the manifestation of some serious pathological conditions, such as abortion, ectopic pregnancy or hydatidiform mole .
Almost all early abortions take vaginal bleeding as the first symptom, followed by paroxysmal lower abdominal pain. If bleeding and abdominal pain worsen, abortion is often inevitable. Most spontaneous abortions are caused by abnormal development of the fetus itself and usually cannot continue pregnancy, which is the result of natural elimination.
Ectopic pregnancy refers to the implantation of fertilized eggs outside the uterine cavity. Under normal circumstances, fertilized eggs should be implanted and developed in the uterine cavity. If the fertilized egg is implanted in the fallopian tube or ovary or even in the abdominal cavity due to tubal inflammation and other reasons, It can lead to ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy may cause abdominal pain and a small amount of bleeding. If rupture suddenly occurs, it is manifested as acute severe abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. The disease develops rapidly and can lead to hemorrhagic shock with serious consequences, which requires high attention. If it is a high-risk group with a history of ectopic pregnancy, adnexal inflammation and assisted reproductive conception, bleeding requires immediate medical treatment.
Hydatidiform mole is relatively rare, named from its appearance. Pregnant objects are blisters of different sizes, with pedicles connected and grapes in appearance. Most vaginal bleeding occurs 8 ~ 12 weeks after menopause, with a small amount and a gradual increase. When hydatidiform mole grows rapidly, it will cause lower abdominal pain, blood hCG level is significantly higher than normal pregnancy, and B-ultrasound examination can help diagnose the disease.
Although bleeding during pregnancy is always worrying, But don’t panic when you meet, Learn to observe the nature and amount of bleeding. If it is drip or small bleeding during early pregnancy, you don’t need to worry too much. They may last for a few hours or a day or two and then stop. They will not affect the development of the embryo and the continuation of pregnancy. They are a very small episode in the whole pregnancy and will pass quickly. However, if bleeding continues to increase or is accompanied by abdominal pain, tissue is discharged with the blood or bleeding in the middle and third trimester of pregnancy, you must seek medical treatment in time .
Do not use tampons or other articles to stop bleeding after bleeding, so as not to cause infection or abortion. Sanitary napkins should be used, which can help estimate the amount of bleeding. When going to the hospital, take clothes stained with blood or cushions with blood accumulation, etc. If there is a large amount of bleeding, collect the blood in containers or sealed bags as much as possible and take it to the doctor.
