Every woman knows that pregnancy is a complex process that restructures the work of the whole organism. Unfortunately, it happens that during pregnancy in the female body malfunctions occur that adversely affect the further course of pregnancy. Therefore, a woman in an “interesting position” needs to carefully monitor her health and, if any abnormalities are found, consult a doctor immediately.
The first trimester is a special time in which all the internal organs of the unborn child are laid. Quite often, at this time, women notice minor, painless spotting. This, in most cases, is caused by the attachment of a fetal egg to the walls of the uterus. In this process, small fragments of the membranes are rejected, and therefore bloody discharge appears.
How to understand that bleeding began in the early stages of pregnancy? Any bleeding is called bleeding - from one drop to copious clots.
Causes of bleeding in early pregnancy
Unfortunately, abortion occurs in 20% of women. What are the causes of bleeding during pregnancy? What caused this circumstance?
- Bleeding in early pregnancy causes chromosomal abnormalities. Most malformations are incompatible with life. In this case, nature itself gets rid of the embryo by spontaneous abortion. In this case, the doctor determines the cause of the miscarriage, which will help the woman plan the next pregnancy.
- An ectopic pregnancy is caused by the development of a fetal egg in an inappropriate place for this. The main cause is inflammation of the appendages or the development of genital infections. If an ectopic pregnancy is detected, a woman needs hospitalization. In case of untimely contact with a specialist, an ectopic pregnancy can adversely affect the health or, in the worst case, the woman’s life.
- Bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy is also caused by a frozen pregnancy due to a halt in the development of the embryo. On day 5-6, a miscarriage occurs. An ultrasound is prescribed for the woman in order to check the uterine cavity. Usually, gynecologists after spontaneous abortion carry out additional cleaning. A detailed examination will help to find out the causes of a missed pregnancy.
- Bleeding at the beginning of pregnancy, accompanied by khawt-like pain, may be caused by a miscarriage. If you consult a doctor during pregnancy, you can save your pregnancy.
