Patient's question:
6 weeks pregnant, slight vaginal bleedingDoctor's answer:
First, the general treatment for threatened miscarriage is as follows: If a pregnant woman experiences signs of miscarriage, she should rest in bed and reduce activity. However, it is not necessary to lie motionless for 24 hours, even avoiding getting up to use the restroom. Excessive mental stress can actually lead to miscarriage, so mild activity should be performed appropriately. Sexual activity must be strictly avoided. Unnecessary vaginal examinations should be minimized to reduce stimulation to the uterus.Second, medication primarily involves progesterone to support fetal development. Progesterone helps ensure embryonic development, maintain pregnancy, inhibit uterine smooth muscle contractions, and reduce uterine tension. Oral vitamin E is beneficial for fetal development, taken in doses of 10–20 mg three times daily. When necessary, sedatives, sleeping pills, and pain relievers may be used to minimize unnecessary stimulation.
