Patient's question:
Hello:My girlfriend and I had sex a while ago, but since then she has been feeling uncomfortable, with abdominal pain and bloating. I thought it might be pregnancy, so I bought a pregnancy test, which showed a weak positive result. I suggested she get an ultrasound, but she hasn’t had time yet. Could this be a sign of pregnancy? Also, a few days ago, she suddenly said she was having symptoms like that, and she had some vaginal bleeding with clots. Is this a sign of threatened miscarriage? Please help me understand what’s going on～＠
Doctor's answer:
From the perspective of eugenics and genetics, it should be considered that most natural miscarriages are a form of natural selection, and attempting to carry the pregnancy to term has little meaning, with a relatively low chance of success. In a few cases, the misuse of progesterone for pregnancy preservation may lead to masculinization of female fetuses and reproductive organ abnormalities in male fetuses. In most cases, it not only fails to save the fetus but also increases the difficulty for doctors to perform surgery, as well as the risk of pelvic infection and excessive uterine bleeding in women who experience miscarriage. Rest in bed is recommended.
