Patient's question:
I've been married for two years. A few days ago, I had a thorough check-up and found out I'm pregnant. We are both very happy. Last night, when I went downstairs to take out the trash, I accidentally fell. When I rushed back inside, my stomach started to hurt. When I went to the bathroom, I noticed bloodstains on my underwear. I felt very sad. Could this be a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
In the case of a miscarriage, it is recommended that you promptly visit a hospital for a thorough examination and then undergo treatment to preserve the pregnancy. This is because the miscarriage was caused by physical trauma. If the treatment to preserve the pregnancy is unsuccessful, it is important to undergo a minor surgical procedure for the miscarriage at an early stage. It is essential to rest in bed as much as possible, consume nutrient-rich foods, avoid strenuous exercise, and refrain from actions such as squatting, lifting heavy objects, etc. Additionally, maintaining a positive mindset during pregnancy is crucial. Family members should provide support and companionship, and if any abnormal symptoms occur, seek medical attention immediately.
