Patient's question:
My wife is three months pregnant, but last Tuesday when she went to the toilet, she experienced heavy bleeding and was taken to the hospital. The ultrasound showed that the baby was normal, but there was a large blood clot in her uterus. The doctor diagnosed it as late threatened miscarriage, and she is now hospitalized. The doctor prescribed magnesium sulfate for intravenous infusion. Could you please tell me if the baby can be saved with this treatment, and what potential effects it might have? I look forward to your reply!Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, there is a possibility of threatened miscarriage. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. Under the guidance of a doctor, you should receive intramuscular progesterone treatment to prevent miscarriage. During the treatment period, in addition to bed rest (avoid unnecessary movement, except for urination and defecation) and refraining from sexual activity, patients should also maintain emotional stability, avoid stressful environments, supplement with sufficient nutrition, and take vitamin E orally. If the embryo is normal, after rest and treatment, the cause of the miscarriage is eliminated, the bleeding will stop, and the pregnancy can continue.
