Patient's question:
I've been married to my husband for five or six years, and finally got pregnant. However, after a thorough check-up at the hospital, they said my progesterone level was low, and there was a possibility of threatened miscarriage. They recommended bed rest, but due to my training reasons, I couldn't stay in bed. Today, when I was using the restroom, I suddenly noticed some blood in the toilet. I don't know if it's a miscarriage. Could you please tell me if my situation is a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Low progesterone can easily lead to recurrent threatened miscarriage. If there is vaginal bleeding, it is likely a threatened miscarriage. It is recommended to go to the hospital promptly for blood tests to check progesterone and HCG levels, and undergo an ultrasound to assess the condition of the gestational sac. Treatment should be based on the examination results, which may include intramuscular injections of progesterone and oral vitamin E. Currently, bed rest is necessary, with minimal movement except for urination and defecation. Intercourse is strictly prohibited. If the fetus cannot be saved, a D&C (dilation and curettage) may be required. Wishing you good health!
