Many people know that menstruation will not occur again after pregnancy, but some women may experience vaginal bleeding after pregnancy, so many people think it is menstruation. Is it normal for menstruation to occur during the early stages of pregnancy when one discovers that it is not actually menstruation after becoming pregnant? What the hell is going on here? What should we do?
Will menstruation still occur when pregnant
Menstruation after pregnancy? Generally speaking, women's menstrual cycle will stop after pregnancy, and there will be no menstrual phenomenon. Why do some people still notice menstruation?
1. Vaginal bleeding: Post pregnancy bleeding is common in cases of cervical polyps or erosion, and cervical cancer can also cause vaginal bleeding. Very few cases of pregnancy menstruation can be understood as a physiological response after the implantation of the fertilized egg.
2. Threatened miscarriage: with a history of amenorrhea and a positive urine pregnancy test, diagnosed as pregnancy. In this case, if vaginal bleeding occurs again, or accompanied by lower back pain and abdominal pain, threatened miscarriage should be considered first, and the possibility of ectopic pregnancy should also be considered.
Menstruation after pregnancy is not true menstruation, but rather bleeding caused by lesions in the uterus or its appendages. Special attention should be paid to ectopic pregnancy and threatened miscarriage, both of which are very dangerous. If you experience menstruation again after becoming pregnant, you should immediately go to the hospital for examination. Identify the cause of bleeding for timely treatment.
Reasons for menstruation after pregnancy
A married woman who has always had a normal menstrual cycle suddenly stops menstruating, which is a good omen for conceiving a new life. However, a small number of women still experience a small amount of vaginal bleeding during their original menstrual cycle in the first three months of pregnancy.
Menstruation after pregnancy is a type of bleeding that occurs after the implantation of the fertilized egg. In the early stages of pregnancy, when the egg is fertilized and implanted, chorionic gonadotropin begins to appear in the urine, reaching its peak at the 8th week of pregnancy. The function of this hormone is similar to that of luteinizing hormone, which can promote the development of ovarian corpus luteum into pregnancy corpus luteum. The corpus luteum of pregnancy continues to secrete estrogen and progesterone, thereby transforming the endometrium into decidua and ensuring the continued development and growth of the fertilized egg.
What to do with menstruation after pregnancy
From the above situation, it can be seen that menstruation after pregnancy is not actually menstruation in the true sense, but a vaginal bleeding phenomenon.
Vaginal bleeding is a common problem in early pregnancy, affecting approximately one fourth of pregnant women. When faced with this problem, pregnant women usually worry about whether they will have a miscarriage or give birth to an abnormal fetus.
According to statistics, after experiencing vaginal bleeding in the first half of pregnancy, about half of the patients are able to successfully continue the pregnancy. Additionally, about 30% of patients will experience spontaneous abortion, 10% of patients may have ectopic pregnancy, and a very small number of patients may have problems such as molar pregnancy or cervical lesions.
Generally speaking, vaginal bleeding after pregnancy does not affect fetal development and maternal health, so no special treatment is required. It should be noted that when there is a change in menstrual cycle or menstrual flow, it is best to go to the hospital for examination to clarify the cause of the change.
This article provides a detailed introduction to whether menstruation is normal in the early stages of pregnancy. As a newly pregnant woman, if you find yourself experiencing menstruation, you must not underestimate this problem, which may be ectopic pregnancy or threatened miscarriage. You'd better take measures to actively respond to this situation.
