What should I do if I have brown discharge at 16 weeks?

Patient's question:

16 plus 4 resulted in brown discharge, and the doctor prescribed progesterone injections, anti-abortion pills, and oral Kangning liquid. The cervix was not low. After taking them for two days, the brown discharge stopped, and the leukorrhea returned to normal. Five days after the discharge stopped, I had an ultrasound, which was today. The baby's growth and development were normal, with no abdominal pain or bleeding. That is to say, there was an 111×19×13 non-echoic area under the chorion, which is quite large, with fluid!!! What should the doctor do? Now there is no bleeding, and no abnormalities were carefully checked. Is this serious? The doctor said to pay attention to irregular follow-up, and it may gradually resolve. They then prescribed another three days' worth of Kangning oral liquid for me!!!
What should I pay attention to? Is it dangerous? When should I follow up?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, the sound-free area under the chorion is formed by the broken skin that did not discharge outside the vagina but accumulated inside the uterine cavity. It should gradually subside over time. Therefore, it is recommended to have a follow-up ultrasound check in one week for a thorough examination. During this period, continue taking medication as prescribed by your doctor and pay attention to rest in bed to avoid excessive walking. The above advice is for the question "Is there anything to pay attention to with brown discharge at 16 weeks and 4 days?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
