Patient's question:
During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. Please ask if continuous bleeding during pregnancy is harmful to the child.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your symptoms are considered to be signs of threatened miscarriage. It is recommended that you visit the obstetrics and gynecology department for an ultrasound examination to determine if there is still a need for fetal preservation. If there is hope, progesterone can be used for fetal preservation treatment. If it is not necessary, you can consider terminating the pregnancy.Normal pregnant women often experience mild lower limb edema during the later stages of pregnancy. This is due to the enlarged uterus compressing the inferior vena cava, which obstructs blood. Generally, edema occurs during the day, and it can subside after a night of rest. If the edema does not subside after rest, it is considered an abnormal condition. The skin on the lower limbs of a pregnant woman may become tight and shiny, with reduced elasticity, and an indentation may appear after pressing with fingers. The severity of edema is classified as mild or severe, starting from the ankles and gradually spreading upward to the calves, thighs, abdominal wall, and external genitalia. Severe cases may even spread to the entire body, accompanied by ascites.
For pregnant women with mild edema symptoms, it is important to rest more and elevate the lower limbs while sleeping. It is essential to strictly control the intake of salt and water in the diet to avoid worsening the edema. In the late stages of pregnancy, the nutritional needs of the fetus reach their peak, and you should consume high-protein foods to replenish the plasma.
