Patient's question:
My partner usually has her period very regularly, every 28 days. By December 1st, it has been 40 days since her last period. She took a pregnancy test three times, and it showed positive. Since she hasn’t been pregnant for four years, the traditional Chinese medicine clinic prescribed three sets of medicine for maintaining the pregnancy. After taking two sets, she started bleeding. She went to the hospital for a check-up, had an ultrasound, and there were no obvious abnormalities. Her blood test results showed HCG at 1571. She is still bleeding today, and it has been four days, with the amount being similar to her period. Please, doctors, please diagnose this for me. Thank you very much.Detailed medical history and purpose of consultation: Whether it is ectopic pregnancy or natural miscarriage. She has mild abdominal pain or discomfort, with a sense of lower abdominal heaviness, but it is not strong.

Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, women do not experience vaginal bleeding after pregnancy. If this occurs in the early stages of pregnancy, it could be a sign of threatened miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. It is recommended to seek professional medical advice and undergo relevant examinations as soon as possible. Symptomatic treatment should be administered under the guidance of a doctor. It is advised to have an ultrasound examination at the hospital to determine the cause, get plenty of rest, and undergo necessary treatment to support the pregnancy if needed. During pregnancy, attention should be paid to nutrition, adequate rest, and regular prenatal check-ups.
