Pregnant and having a sore abdomen from sneezing

Patient's question:

I just found out I'm 50 days pregnant. This morning, I sneezed, and after that, I felt a slight dull ache in my uterus and some pain at the site where my left fallopian tube was removed (I had a tubal ligation surgery in September). Could the uterine ache affect the fetus?

Doctor's answer:

??????Hello, severe sneezing can increase intra-abdominal pressure, which may affect the uterus. Uterine contractions can cause abdominal pain. If the uterus continues to contract, there may be a risk of miscarriage. Based on your current condition, as there is no vaginal bleeding, it is unlikely that you will miscarry.
I recommend that you wait for a while to see if the pain subsides or if there is no vaginal bleeding. If so, you may not need to see a doctor. Regular follow-up is also recommended. In daily life, avoid overexertion and pressure on your abdomen. Strengthen your nutrition and engage in appropriate exercise.
