Patient's question:
I had an amniocentesis at 20 weeks, and it's just been over a week now. My abdomen has been constantly tight, and it's been like this whether I'm sitting or lying down. Is this a sign of a miscarriage? I want to ask if treatment is needed.Doctor's answer:
Hello, this is a symptom of uterine contractions, which is related to the previous amniocentesis examination. Now, it is important to rest and use appropriate pregnancy-preserving medication to prevent a recurrence of miscarriage. Currently, you need to stay in bed and receive intramuscular progesterone for pregnancy preservation. This can prevent further uterine contractions and, at the same time, you can take oral Ve capsules. After resting for a few days, the uterine contraction symptoms will alleviate. In addition to treatment, it is important to maintain a good mood in daily life, as a positive attitude is very helpful for recovery.
