Patient's question:
On last Friday, I went to the hospital for a check-up and confirmed that I am pregnant. It has been 41 days since then. However, since the 37th day, which was last Thursday evening, brownish blood has appeared in my underwear. The doctor said it's a sign of threatened miscarriage and advised me to rest in bed. But after four days, the brownish discharge is still there, and I also have occasional abdominal pain.These past few days, I've been feeling quite down. I also have moderate cervical erosion and previously had pelvic inflammatory disease. I wonder if the spotting is related to these conditions? I really want to keep this baby. Is there any way to help with the miscarriage prevention?
Doctor's answer:
If you have vaginitis during pregnancy, it can be quite difficult for the pregnant woman, as the immune system weakens during pregnancy, making it easier for bacteria to invade. It's best to go to the hospital for an early check-up and treat the vaginitis. Otherwise, in the coming days, you might feel more discomfort down there, which could cause itching. If you do get itchy and have no other options, you can buy some tea tree oil to apply. Tea tree oil has anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling effects. I wish you a healthy baby boy.If you experience tea-colored (or bloody) discharge, lower back pain, chest, or abdominal pain during pregnancy, it could be a sign of miscarriage. It's still best to go to the hospital for a check-up, after all, you are pregnant!
