Patient's question:
I had my period on October 31st of this year. By December 12th, I confirmed I was pregnant. On December 24th, I had my first vaginal bleeding, but I didn't feel any other discomfort. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor didn't specify any reason. The doctor estimated I had been pregnant for 59 days, but the ultrasound showed only 39 days. I calculated the dates myself and feel it's around 40 days, not less than 50 days. Do you think the doctor could have miscalculated? Besides that, what should I pay attention to now, or what should I get checked?Medical history and treatment effectiveness:
My body is normal. My last health check-up showed everything was healthy. I am a carrier of the hepatitis B virus. I hope the doctor can advise me on what I should do now and what I should pay attention to.
Doctor's answer:
The early stage of pregnancy is a critical period for the fetus's life. If mild abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding reoccurs, it should be cautious of threatened miscarriage. It is advisable to visit the gynecology department of the hospital promptly for follow-up, including blood tests for CHG and progesterone, and an ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis. If abnormalities are found, timely treatment to prevent miscarriage should be initiated.When patients face gynecological problems, we should promptly adhere to the principle of symptomatic treatment and avoid delaying medical consultation. If gynecological conditions do not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
