Many diseases usually come to us without our awareness, invading us without our knowledge or understanding of the causes.

For instance, miscarriage is a common occurrence, and many people have heard of it but are still suffering in silence, without understanding the causes. They often attribute it to unfairness from heaven, assuming it's just their luck.

Can it really be that way? There's no such thing as an illness or a sign of miscarriage without cause.

Understanding the causes of threatened miscarriage will make you realize that it's not fair on God.

The causes of threatened miscarriage are complex and diverse, mainly including the following points: Firstly, the most significant cause of threatened miscarriage is genetic inheritance leading to embryonic abnormalities.

Therefore, an abortion can be said to be a good thing.

Due to abnormal fetuses, even if they are born at full term, they may still have congenital malformations or abnormalities.

II. Insufficient umbilical cord oxygenation, amniotic fluid disease, placental viral infections, and certain gynecological inflammations can also cause threatened miscarriage.

III. Malnutrition in pregnant women is also one of the causes of miscarriage.

Some pregnant women experience severe morning sickness and vomiting in the early stages of pregnancy, which can lead to extreme malnutrition and negatively impact the development of the embryo. This condition is also prone to causing miscarriage.

IV. In women who become pregnant, emotional instability, anger, sadness and other mental stimulations disturb the activity of the cerebral cortex, cause contraction of the uterus and expel the embryo or cause death of the embryo within the uterus.

5. If pregnant woman suffers from acute infectious diseases such as influenza and rubella, it may cause miscarriage because of high fever and the release of toxins by bacteria or viruses.

6. Endocrine disorders such as luteal, pituitary and thyroid dysfunctions, as well as uterine underdevelopment with excessive posterior curvature of the uterus that impedes the development of the embryo, may also cause miscarriage.

VII. Sexual activity during pregnancy, especially in the early stages of pregnancy, can also lead to miscarriage if the position of the male partner's body presses on the pregnant woman's abdomen or is very rough.

8. During gynecological examinations during pregnancy, if the examination is conducted with rough techniques, it is also a cause of miscarriage. This is particularly important for pregnant women who are physically weak.

Certain chemicals, such as quinine, carbon monoxide, aluminum, phosphorus, mercury, and benzene, can also cause embryonic damage.

To ensure the healthy growth of the fetus during pregnancy, it is essential to understand the symptoms of threatened miscarriage.

There are several main points: First, vaginal bleeding.

Vaginal bleeding can be classified into minor bleeding, significant bleeding, persistent bleeding, and irregular bleeding.

Any bleeding during the first three months of pregnancy, especially when accompanied by pain, should be promptly attended to, as it could indicate a miscarriage.

Second, pain.

The pelvis, abdominal or lower back may have a constant pain.

When symptoms of vaginal bleeding occur, it may be several hours or days before the pain begins.

Thirdly, there is a blood clot in the vagina.

Vaginal discharge containing bloody clots or pale tissue.

If symptoms occur during pregnancy, immediate medical attention is necessary for the preservation of the fetus.

Treatment of threatened miscarriage: When a pregnant woman experiences symptoms of threatened miscarriage, immediate medical attention is required. The primary treatment methods include: Firstly, general treatment.

Should a threatened miscarriage occur, pregnant women should rest, reduce physical activity, abstain from sexual intercourse, avoid unnecessary vaginal examinations, and minimize irritation to the uterus. Additionally, it is important to avoid excessive mental stress. Otherwise, it may lead to an abortion.

After the bleeding has stopped, it is best to rest for two weeks before returning to work.

This treatment is suitable for women experiencing mild symptoms of threatened miscarriage.

Secondly, pharmacotherapy.

Progesterone plays a role in ensuring embryonic development, maintaining pregnancy, inhibiting uterine smooth muscle contraction, and reducing uterine tension.

The treatment of early pregnancy with threatened abortion can be achieved by administering progesterone for protection and also by the administration of chorionic gonadotropin (CG) through intramuscular injections, as this hormone stimulates the function of the corpus luteum.

Sedatives and uterotonics can be used in the late pregnancy to reduce psychological stimulation and inhibit labor.

Additionally, orally administered Vitamin E is beneficial in maintaining the development of the embryo.

Thirdly, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment.

Traditional Chinese Medicine can be applied through differential diagnosis and treatment: for those with kidney deficiency, use Cuscuta chinensis, Cornus officinalis, donkey's milk curd, and Zhe Xian.

Patients with external injuries can be treated with Xiaochaihu Decoction and its modifications, including Angelica dahurica, Bupleurum, Shengmaihu (Radix et Rhizoma bupleuri), Radix cimicifugae rhizome, Salix alba, donkey-hide gelatin, and Dipsacus asperoides.

Prevention of threatened miscarriage: attention should be paid to the following points: first, rest;

Pregnant women should rest more, reduce activities, but not mean 24 hours in bed, should appropriately do some light activities.

Must prohibit sexual activity, minimize unnecessary vaginal examinations to reduce uterine stimulation.

Additionally, avoid stimulating the breasts as it can also cause contractions and lead to preterm labor.

Secondly, pay attention to the amount and nature of the bleeding.

Monitor vaginal discharge at all times for the presence of tissue fragments.

It is best to retain the discharge for the doctor to observe.

If there is an increase in bleeding, seek medical attention promptly.

Thirdly, pay attention to abdominal pain.

Expectant mothers should be alert if they experience lower back pain, pelvic heaviness, and discomfort persisting after resting. If this condition worsens or does not improve after rest, it is imperative to seek medical attention.

If there is an increase in lower abdominal pain, accompanied by vaginal bleeding and the expulsion of tissue-like substances, it should be reported to the doctor promptly.

Key Points in the Care of Prodromal Abortion: If a pregnant woman exhibits symptoms of prodromal abortion, there is no need to panic. It is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay attention to several key points in the care. These include understanding the cause of the prodromal abortion and taking targeted measures accordingly.

Secondly, it's important to rest, but also don't stay in bed all the time. You should also move around appropriately.

Three, we should reduce stimulation and prohibit sexual activity, as well as avoid unnecessary gynecological examinations.

Fourthly, pay attention to the amount of vaginal bleeding and observe whether any tissue is expelled. If there are foreign bodies, take the tissue for examination at a hospital.

5. If the abdominal pain in a pregnant woman increases, but there is no increase in blood loss, this situation should be reported to the doctor in time to check for complications.

In summary, pregnant women experiencing symptoms of threatened miscarriage need not panic excessively. It is crucial to understand the cause and take targeted measures for effective treatment.
