Patient's question:
Female, 53. Recently, she has always been uncomfortable, and gradually, the discomfort has become worse. Please ask: What are the symptoms of threatened miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Preterm labor refers to conditions where there are signs of miscarriage, but after treatment to prevent miscarriage, the pregnancy may still fail to reach full term. It commonly occurs in the early stages of pregnancy, accompanied by early morning symptoms, minimal vaginal bleeding (less than the amount of a menstrual period), and mild intermittent uterine contractions. During a gynecological examination, the cervix remains closed, the amniotic sac is intact, and the size of the uterus matches the gestational age. A positive pregnancy test is typically observed. It is often associated with conditions such as luteal phase deficiency or increased uterine sensitivity. If vaginal bleeding continues to increase or lower abdominal pain intensifies, it may develop into inevitable miscarriage.
