Will bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy lead to a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

When I was about two and a half months pregnant, one morning when I went to the bathroom, I noticed a little bit of blood in my underwear. At first, I thought I had mistaken it, but the next day it happened again. However, I confirmed that I was indeed pregnant. This definitely wasn't my period. I don't know if it could be a miscarriage. Does bleeding or broken skin in the early stages of pregnancy lead to a miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

If you confirm pregnancy, early vaginal bleeding is not a normal phenomenon and may indicate threatened miscarriage, intrauterine fetal death, ectopic pregnancy, or vaginitis. It is recommended that you undergo an MRI examination and a human chorionic gonadotropin test to determine if any of the above conditions are present. Identify the cause of the bleeding and provide corresponding treatment. In the early stages of pregnancy, it is important to take folic acid, maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, engage in adequate exercise, and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse.
