Patient's question:
A 22-year-old woman had a natural miscarriage at 40 days of pregnancy, with bleeding that stopped after 5 days. Thirteen days after the miscarriage, her blood HCG levels returned to normal. The doctor said there were no residual tissues in the uterus, so a D&C was not necessary. Due to unavoidable reasons, I must avoid intense physical activities like running and jumping for the next two days. Today, my discharge is thick and contains a few blood streaks. Besides that, my stomach is very bloated even when I don’t eat, and it’s almost in the position of the fallopian tube. Sometimes there’s a slight protrusion with a bit of dull pain, but it’s just a little. What could be the cause?Past Treatment and Effects:
I had a natural miscarriage during my first pregnancy.
Assistance Needed:
Hello, what could be the cause of the blood streaks in my discharge? Besides the bloating and slight dull pain, what could be happening?

However, for blood-stained leukorrhea, the following conditions should also be considered: 1. Cervical polyps 2. Acute vaginitis 3. Severe cervical erosion 4. Submucosal uterine fibroids 5.
