Patient's question:
All symptoms: A drop of blood appeared on the night of August 12, but it was only discovered the next morning on August 13, and it had already dried. Onset time and cause: Is it related to taking a 8-hour long-distance bus on August 11? Treatment situation: On August 13, I went to the hospital for tests including urine, leukorrhea, fetal heart rate monitoring, and ultrasound. The results showed a fetal heart rate of 154 beats per minute, maximum amniotic fluid depth of 41 mm, placental thickness of 18 mm, biparietal diameter of 38 mm, and femur length of 25 mm. Desired help: Doctor's diagnosis: There were no blood streaks in the leukorrhea, and the doctor said it was not internal bleeding or vaginal bleeding. Since no definitive diagnosis was made, no treatment was administered, and only observation at home was advised. I want to know the cause of the bleeding and how to ensure a healthy pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, bleeding during the early stages of pregnancy is caused by abnormal pregnancy conditions such as emergency miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, or edema in the villous tissue of the placenta, or by gynecological conditions such as cervical erosion or polyps.Bleeding in the middle and later stages of pregnancy is generally believed to be caused by emergencies such as premature birth, placenta previa, or placental abruption (although the likelihood of this is very low), or by gynecological conditions such as bacterial infections leading to vaginitis.
There are many other possible causes of bleeding, such as external genital infection, overly vigorous sexual activity, or urethral infection, among others. Regardless of the cause of the bleeding, it is best to consult a doctor for examination to ensure safety.
