Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 38 weeks pregnant today and have been experiencing heavy initial spotting. Can I receive progesterone to prevent miscarriage? If I receive progesterone, will it have any impact on the fetus in the future?Doctor's answer:
Hello: You can take progesterone to prevent miscarriage. It is important to pay attention to the treatment of threatened miscarriage. If vaginal bleeding does not stop or increases after 2 weeks of treatment, it indicates abnormal embryonic development and should be considered for termination of pregnancy. Inevitable and incomplete miscarriages should be treated with uterine evacuation in a timely manner. Before performing a D&C for a missed miscarriage, blood should be prepared, and intravenous access should be established during the procedure. For infectious miscarriage, effective antibiotics should be administered promptly. What you need to do is let go of your worries and be a happy pregnant mom. This is the only way to give birth to a healthy and intelligent little baby.
