What should I do if I have bleeding after intercourse in the early stages of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Doctor,
I am writing because my wife is almost two months pregnant. At around 40 days, she had a check-up at the hospital and everything was normal. Last night, after we had sex (this was the only time since becoming pregnant), my wife noticed a small amount of bleeding when she urinated. We stopped immediately, and she had no other pain. Both my wife and I are very scared, fearing that this might lead to a miscarriage. Please advise!
Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello! During the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy, it is important to avoid sexual activity, as it may lead to miscarriage or other complications. The situation you mentioned is related to the symptoms of threatened miscarriage, and sexual activity can be a contributing factor. It is recommended to actively seek treatment for maintaining the pregnancy. For the above conditions, it is advised to first undergo an ultrasound examination at the hospital. Under the guidance of medical professionals, progesterone injections should be administered, and it is important to rest more, avoid spicy and cold foods, and avoid heavy physical labor. Generally, after 3-5 days of proper management, the condition can be well controlled.
