Patient's question:
[Doctor: I am 41 weeks pregnant today, but three days ago I started bleeding. The doctor at the hospital prescribed progesterone and vitamin E, which I finished the first night. However, this morning, there was a bit of blood in my underwear again. What should I do in this situation? Can the baby still be saved?]Doctor's answer:
Preeclampsia usually presents with symptoms such as abdominal pain and irregular vaginal bleeding. Based on the information you provided, the first thing to consider is whether it's a sign of your menstrual period, possibly due to a lighter flow. Additionally, there can be a small amount of vaginal bleeding during the implantation of the fertilized egg. It is recommended that you visit a local hospital to check your blood HCG levels to confirm pregnancy and rule out the possibility of preeclampsia. If there is a possibility of preeclampsia, medication such as progesterone may be needed for treatment to prevent miscarriage. At the same time, it is important to rest in bed, avoid exercise, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
