Patient's question:
Menstruation stopped for 20 days. Took 6 tablets of metronidazole. At 35 days of pregnancy, blood test showed progesterone 16 and hCG over 40,000. Starting from day 40, brownish discharge began. Due to work-related reasons, brownish discharge appeared after fatigue. Over the next four or five days, intermittent brownish discharge was observed. At 45 days of pregnancy, blood test showed progesterone 13.9 and hCG over 70,000. The hospital diagnosed threatened miscarriage. I don’t know if the threatened miscarriage is related to taking metronidazole. Is it necessary to take measures to prevent miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
The treatment for threatened miscarriage, in addition to bed rest and prohibiting sexual activity, involves creating an environment that promotes emotional stability and alleviates tension for the patient. For those with a history of miscarriage, more psychological support should be provided. If the pregnant woman has low progesterone levels, progesterone support therapy can be used. Generally, doctors recommend that women with risk signs of prenatal examination maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to having a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
