Patient's question:
Pregnancy at 54 days, discharge with blood. On the morning of day 55, there was a little blood on the shorts. Went to the hospital for an ultrasound, the results were: retroverted uterus, slightly full morphology, a 1.4x1.3cm cystic anechoic area was observed in the uterine cavity, with enhanced peripheral echoes. No embryonic germ and heart tube were seen inside the cyst. Help needed: Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the description of the content you provided, your situation is considered to be a case of embryonic demise after pregnancy. Generally, it is possible to see the embryonic sac after more than 40 days of pregnancy. Since your menstrual cycle is irregular, it could be due to the time being too short, or the gestational sac might be too small to be visible. There is also a possibility of ectopic pregnancy. This service website lists the following symptoms: 1. Amenorrhea: Before ectopic pregnancy, there is often a short-term amenorrhea or delayed menstruation by several days, with a positive urine HCG test. 2. Abdominal Pain: This is the most common symptom, usually located in the lower abdomen. It is often mistaken for menstrual cramps or appendicitis. 3. Vaginal Bleeding: The most common type is a small amount of vaginal bleeding after amenorrhea. Some people mistake it for a menstrual period, but it is different from a true menstrual period, such as having a smaller amount of bleeding or darker-colored blood, with a few cases of heavy bleeding.
