Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My wife has been pregnant for several months, but recently she has been feeling very unwell for several days straight, with vaginal bleeding. Some experienced friends said this could be a threatened miscarriage. I would like to consult about it. How is threatened miscarriage treated? Will it affect the baby?Doctor's answer:
Recurrent vaginal bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy could be a sign of threatened miscarriage. In the middle stages of pregnancy, bleeding or tearing might also be caused by low-lying placenta. She should first go to the hospital for an ultrasound to carefully observe the placenta and fetal condition. She should rest in bed and ensure sufficient deep sleep, avoid strenuous exercise, and have regular follow-up ultrasounds at the hospital. In the early stages of pregnancy, she can also take medication to support fetal development.
