Patient's question:
I took precautions with my boyfriend during sex, but my period hasn't arrived this month. I've also been feeling a bit down lately, quite stifled. This afternoon, I had some bleeding from my lower body along with some discharge. I don't know if it's my period or a miscarriage, because I have a history of natural miscarriages. Can the hospital check this out?Doctor's answer:
If you have habitual miscarriage, then your condition needs to be checked at the hospital. Also, your period has not arrived yet, so the possibility of pregnancy cannot be ruled out. Going to the hospital for a check-up now can reveal this. You can have your blood HCG level tested, and this test is very accurate. If you are pregnant, the blood HCG level will change.
