Patient's question:
My wife is pregnant, about 40 days along. The past two days, it might have been due to fatigue, and there's a little bit of red discharge (just a tiny amount).Past treatment and effectiveness: At the children's hospital, the doctor gave her injections (progestogen) and prescribed vitamin E capsules to take for 3 days. I don't know anything else about it.
Currently, there's no discharge, but she's using it to wipe inside, and the leukorrhea is slightly yellowish-red.
What kind of help I need: Please explain what this is, will it affect the fetus? What are the effects of the medications she took other than the ones mentioned the past two days? What should she do now!
Doctor's answer:
Did your wife undergo a detailed ultrasound examination at that time? If the baby is normal, it proves that your wife is experiencing threatened miscarriage and requires treatment to prevent miscarriage. The treatment should follow the medication prescribed by the doctor, get plenty of rest, and sleep more in bed. Avoid heavy physical activities. A follow-up ultrasound should be conducted after one week to check how the baby is doing. If the baby is normal and there is no vaginal bleeding, it is safe to focus on early pregnancy.Advice: If vaginal bleeding increases continuously and accompanied by abdominal pain, it is recommended that you seek medical attention promptly to prevent miscarriage. The medication for preventing miscarriage is harmless to the baby. Currently, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice, take medication regularly, and reduce physical activity.
