8 types of bleeding in early pregnancy?

Pregnancy is supposed to be a very happy thing, and no one wants to have any accidents. However, things often go against one's wishes. Some women experience bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy. In fact, there are many reasons for bleeding in early pregnancy. Most people think that bleeding in early pregnancy is a threatened abortion. In fact, sometimes vaginal bleeding is not a symptom of threatened abortion. What are the 8 situations of bleeding in early pregnancy? Here are 8 situations that may cause bleeding in early pregnancy.

8 types of bleeding in early pregnancy

1. Biochemical pregnancy

That is, as in the previous case, the fertilized egg was miscarried before it could implant normally.

2. Abnormal embryonic development

If the fetus develops abnormally, it will cause spontaneous abortion, most of which are due to chromosomal abnormalities. Data show that 50-60% of cases of early pregnancy abortion or fetal arrest are due to chromosomal abnormalities. Experts suggest that if vaginal bleeding occurs for no apparent reason, you should let nature take its course after excluding any abnormalities or lesions in the genitals, such as the cervix, and do not attempt to preserve the pregnancy at will, otherwise bigger problems will arise later.

3. 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 bleeding in early pregnancy, go to the obstetrics and gynecology department to check your cervix first.

4. Uterine malformation

For malformations such as double uterus or rudimentary uterus, after a normal uterus becomes pregnant, the abnormal endometrium will thicken and cause a small amount of bleeding. Therefore, ultrasound examination is essential for early pregnancy bleeding!

5. Shedding of the endometrium

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.

6. Ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy refers to an abnormal pregnancy process in which the fertilized egg implants and develops outside the uterine cavity. Ectopic pregnancy often has irregular vaginal bleeding, which is dark red, small in amount, and continuous, generally not exceeding the menstrual volume. Decidual tubular casts or fragments may be discharged with the 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.

7. Urinary tract infection

Acute or chronic urinary tract infection can cause blood to be found when wiping after urination. If the amount of blood is small but fresh red, you should pay attention to the problem of hematuria. So, if you are not sure where your blood comes from, see a gynecologist and check the urine routine for infection at the same time!

8. Hemorrhoid Bleeding

Usually the bleeding occurs after defecation and is fresh blood. If the pregnant woman is not sure whether it is hemorrhoidal bleeding, she should go to the hospital as soon as possible after discovering bleeding and check the vaginal ultrasound. If the vaginal probe is clean and there is no blood, everyone can see it at a glance!
