Patient's question:
Hello, my wife is 9 weeks pregnant. At 8 weeks, she felt a dull pain in her abdomen that was not fixed. She has increased nighttime urination and feels weak. She has had lower back pain for 4 days without vaginal bleeding. She had an induced abortion last December. Ultrasound showed a viable early pregnancy; no obvious masses were found in the bilateral adnexa. Could this be threatened miscarriage? Should she be treated for fetal preservation, and what should she pay attention to? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are many reasons for abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy. Some of them are normal physiological phenomena. Generally, physiological abdominal pain is not very severe and occurs for a very short duration. It is mainly caused by the stretching of uterine ligaments after pregnancy, as the uterus expands. This usually does not affect daily life. The pain is not fixed in location. If an examination does not reveal any organic diseases, then there is no need for treatment. Rest more during the day, avoid fatigue, staying up late, spicy and irritating foods, ensure adequate sleep, and strengthen nutrition. Monitor the recovery situation.
