For many female friends who are pregnant for the first time, there are many physiological phenomena during pregnancy that they feel unfamiliar with, so female friends should learn more about relevant knowledge during pregnancy. Do pregnant women know what causes bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy? Follow the editor to take a look.
What's wrong with blood in the early stages of pregnancy
1. Cervical lesions
Pregnant women who have cervical lesions before pregnancy, leading to erosion, or who already have cervical polyps, are likely to experience surface capillary rupture and bleeding due to hormonal changes after pregnancy. So, when pregnant women have symptoms of vaginal bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy, they should undergo a cervical examination.
2. Ectopic pregnancy
Ectopic pregnancy can also lead to bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy, as the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus and cannot provide sufficient nutrition to the embryo, causing the gradually developing fertilized egg to cause the fallopian tube wall to expand, leading to tube wall rupture. The bleeding caused by ectopic pregnancy usually occurs at 7-8 weeks of pregnancy, accompanied by severe abdominal pain or massive intra-abdominal bleeding.
3. Grape placenta
Pregnant women with molar pregnancy may also experience pregnancy bleeding, accompanied by severe symptoms such as morning sickness or palpitations. Women under the age of 20 or over 35, those with a history of miscarriage, and those who have had a molar pregnancy should pay attention to whether they will have another molar pregnancy.
What is early pregnancy bleeding
Early pregnancy bleeding, also known as early pregnancy redness, refers to the appearance of a small amount of bloody discharge in the vagina within 12 weeks of pregnancy, similar to the amount of bleeding in the early or late stages of menstruation. The color of bleeding may be pink, red, or brown. About 1/4 of pregnant women will experience varying degrees of redness in the early stages of pregnancy, and about half of those who experience redness will eventually have a miscarriage.
Early pregnancy bleeding is related to factors such as cervical lesions, ectopic pregnancy, and molar pregnancy. Early pregnancy bleeding is often a dangerous sign. If there are paroxysmal lower abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy, do not be careless and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
I believe that after reading this article, pregnant women will have a clear understanding of the causes of bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy. Once they discover bleeding, they should immediately go to the hospital for examination. In the early stages of pregnancy, safety should be taken into account to avoid affecting fetal development.
