Patient's question:
Hello everyone, I have been experiencing amenorrhea for 17 days. I went to the hospital for a urine test, which showed positive. The doctor said I am pregnant, but the next day I had vaginal bleeding that was quite similar to my usual menstrual period, accompanied by lower abdominal pain. Now, the bleeding has lasted for three days. I want to know if this is my menstrual period, or if it's a miscarriage? Did the hospital make a mistake in the test? Or is there any other possible reason? Please provide guidance from a medical professional! Thank you!!Doctor's answer:
Hello, early pregnancy for over a month with a small amount of vaginal bleeding. It is considered as symptoms of threatened miscarriage. It is recommended to have blood tests for hCG and progesterone levels in the morning on an empty stomach, which helps to understand the embryonic development. At the same time, it is suggested to have an ultrasound examination to visually understand the size and development of the gestational sac in the uterine cavity. Based on the test results, it can be guided by a doctor to receive treatment for preserving the pregnancy. Currently, it is recommended to rest in bed and avoid fatigue and sexual stimulation.
