How to distinguish between a miscarriage and menstruation

Patient's question:

Hello, I would like to know, if from fertilization to miscarriage, it only takes 15-20 days, will there be uterine contractions and pain during miscarriage, and can the products of miscarriage be seen with trophoblasts and gestational sacs?
How can one distinguish between miscarriage and menstruation? First question supplement: The menstruation period came after the expected time, and there was a little bleeding 2 days ago, which then turned into a little light brown discharge and then stopped. Today, the bleeding has become heavier, and I am worried it might be a natural miscarriage.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: The specific differences need to be confirmed after examination. So what you need to do is actively go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. Moreover, if the menstruation is different from usual, it might not be menstruation but rather irregular vaginal bleeding, accompanied by abdominal pain. First, go to the hospital to have blood drawn for an HCG test to check if you are pregnant. If you are pregnant, then have an ultrasound to rule out ectopic pregnancy. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for an HCG test. Generally, if there is a condition of uterine cold, menstrual cramps accompanied by blood clots may occur during menstruation. Moreover, if you are really pregnant, it is usually easier to detect it about 14 days after intercourse.
