What to do if you keep bleeding after pregnancy

If bleeding continues after pregnancy, it can be a serious matter, especially in the early stages of pregnancy when the embryo is not particularly stable, which makes miscarriage more likely. There are many reasons for bleeding during pregnancy and miscarriage, such as cervical lesions, ectopic pregnancy, and grapes, which are also an important cause of bleeding. Therefore, you must go to the hospital for examination, symptomatic treatment, and strengthen your daily conditioning.

Causes of bleeding in early pregnancy

1. Cervical lesions. If a pregnant woman suffers from cervical lesions that lead to erosion before pregnancy, or already has cervical polyps, then after pregnancy, it is very likely that the surface capillaries will rupture and bleed due to hormonal changes.

2. Ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy can also cause bleeding in early pregnancy because the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus and cannot provide the embryo with sufficient nutrients, causing the gradually developing fertilized egg to expand the fallopian tube wall and cause the tube wall to rupture.

3. Hydatidiform mole. If a pregnant woman has a hydatidiform mole, she may also experience pregnancy bleeding, accompanied by severe morning sickness or palpitations. Women who are younger than 20 or older than 35, who have a history of miscarriage or hydatidiform mole, etc. should be careful about whether they may get pregnant with hydatidiform mole again.

What to do if you have bleeding in early pregnancy

1. Miscarriage. The most common case of early pregnancy bleeding is threatened abortion. After examination, it is found that the embryo is developing normally, and ultrasound examination shows embryonic tissue in the uterus and fetal heartbeat. Progesterone can be used to stop bleeding and preserve the fetus, and bed rest can be used, which can usually be cured.

2. Ectopic pregnancy. Blood tests of hCG values ​​and B-ultrasound examinations can accurately determine whether an ectopic pregnancy has occurred. Pregnant women with a history of ectopic pregnancy, abnormal uterine structure, intrauterine contraceptive device, or who have undergone fallopian tube surgery are all considered to be at high risk of ectopic pregnancy.

3. Hydatidiform mole. Once it is confirmed to be a hydatidiform mole, an abortion surgery must be performed and the chorionic tissue in the uterus must be scraped away, and the hCG index in the body must be tracked for normality within six months.

How to prevent bleeding in early pregnancy

1. Try to avoid or reduce childbirth at an advanced age, especially for women over 35 years old.

2. Those who have a history of abnormal pregnancy and childbirth should receive eugenics counseling before pregnancy.

3. Actively adjust your physical and mental state before pregnancy, including actively treating existing underlying diseases, such as hepatitis, diabetes, thyroid disease, hypertension, nephritis, etc.

4. You should also establish good living habits and quit bad habits such as smoking, alcoholism, excessive coffee drinking, drug use, etc.

5. Moderate exercise, such as walking, prenatal yoga, etc., can enhance physical fitness.

6. Eat a balanced diet, combine meat and vegetables, do not be picky about food, and avoid raw, cold or irritating foods.

7. Learn to self-regulate, reduce stress, and maintain a calm and positive attitude.

8. During pregnancy, especially in the early stages of pregnancy (before 8 weeks of pregnancy), avoid infection and fever. Do not overexpose to radiation and chemicals such as arsenic, lead, formaldehyde, benzene, etc. Do not take any medication on your own.

If expectant mothers experience bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy, do not be too nervous or worried. Go to the hospital for a check-up immediately, find out the cause, and receive timely treatment. As long as there is no abnormality in the fetus itself, it can generally recover. If bleeding persists after treatment or the fetus shows abnormalities, the pregnancy must be terminated immediately to prevent greater harm to the woman.
