Patient's question:
My girlfriend is only twenty-one this year, but she got pregnant because she forgot to use protection when we had sex recently. However, we decided to keep the child. But recently, she has developed some skin irritation. Is this a symptom of a natural miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the reoccurrence of a small amount of vaginal bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy is still considered a symptom of threatened miscarriage. It is recommended that your girlfriend should go to the hospital for blood hCG and progesterone tests. It is possible that the threatened miscarriage is caused by low progesterone levels, so she should take progesterone capsules and miscarriage prevention pills. It is better to rest in bed and avoid exercise to alleviate the symptoms of miscarriage.
