Patient's question:
Is the skin peeling at 11 weeks of pregnancy a sign of miscarriage? When my wife was 11 weeks pregnant, she experienced skin peeling, which scared the entire family.Doctor's answer:
Your wife is 11 weeks pregnant with a ruptured membrane, which is a sign of threatened miscarriage. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital's gynecology department for a follow-up examination promptly. Have a color Doppler ultrasound to check how the gestational sac is still intact. Additionally, blood tests for hCG and progesterone levels are necessary. The doctor will comprehensively evaluate the test results to determine if there is any value in preserving the pregnancy. If preservation is needed, she should be admitted to the hospital immediately for treatment to preserve the pregnancy. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
