Patient's question:
I'm two months pregnant. Last night, when I was intimate with my husband, I had some abdominal pain, so we didn't focus on it and I went to bed to rest. This morning, when I went to the bathroom, I noticed some vaginal bleeding—it wasn't much, just a little. I've been resting at home for a long time. How should I handle the vaginal bleeding?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal bleeding may indicate the possibility of threatened miscarriage. During the first three months of pregnancy, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited. At this stage, the fetus is not yet stable, and sexual intercourse can cause uterine contractions, leading to miscarriage. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis. If it is a threatened miscarriage, treatment to preserve the pregnancy is necessary, along with bed rest and abstinence from sexual activity. For severe gynecological conditions, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid changing medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect on the treatment outcome.
