Patient's question:
I am 75 weeks pregnant and have experienced coffee-ground-like blood for 3 consecutive days. On the fourth day, fresh bleeding occurred. The doctor said there are symptoms of threatened miscarriage and recommended that I start taking medication to prevent it. I am a bit worried. Hello, how should I take medication to prevent miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Preterm labor refers to a condition where, around weeks 5-10 of early pregnancy, there is a recurrence of very slight vaginal bleeding that comes and goes, accompanied by mild lower abdominal pain and backache. Preterm labor may lead to miscarriage, but it can also result in the continuation of early pregnancy with symptomatic treatment. The recurrence of this condition may be triggered by excessive strain or overexertion, requiring the expectant mother to rest in bed. This situation generally normalizes within 2-3 months. If any discomfort occurs, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment. During the early stages of pregnancy, it is important to avoid overexertion, travel, and maintain adequate rest while keeping a positive mood and refraining from sexual activity.
