Can a woman still have her period if she is pregnant?

Patient's question:

Female, 28 years old, recently she has been feeling lower abdominal pain, especially on the left side, with a persistent, dull ache. Is this normal? She wants to consult and ask if pregnancy can also result in menstruation?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, menstruation does not occur after pregnancy. However, a small minority may still experience menstruation, which is referred to as "jijing" in traditional Chinese medicine. Insufficient kidney qi is the main cause of miscarriage during pregnancy. Many pregnant women may suffer from miscarriage, so active treatment should be provided. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable Grade-A hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
