The hazards of hemorrhagic diseases

Pregnancy bleeding is a sign that the pregnancy has encountered some problems and gives the expectant mothers a warning.

Regardless of the amount of bleeding, pregnant women should always be vigilant upon discovering it. Even if there is only a small amount of bleeding, they must immediately seek medical attention to determine the cause. Because regardless of the amount or duration of the bleeding, it could be a sign of serious issues.

What are the potential hazards of bleeding disorders during pregnancy? Bleeding disorders pose a special challenge to women during pregnancy.

The body of a mother is fragile during pregnancy and is prone to some abnormalities.

Pregnancy bleeding is quite common among pregnant women, and the harm caused by this bleeding is evident.

Bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy may indicate threatened miscarriage, with approximately 50% to 70% of miscarriages occurring in the first trimester. Threatened miscarriage can be a distressing experience for expectant mothers. Should the baby not survive, a curettage (uterine curettage) surgery may be required.

Pregnancy bleeding in the early stages could potentially indicate an ectopic pregnancy. In the initial stage of ectopic pregnancy, bleeding is usually minimal and accompanied by abdominal pain. If not diagnosed and treated promptly, the pregnancy continues to develop within the fallopian tubes, which can lead to rupture of the tube and result in significant hemorrhage, endangering the life of the pregnant woman.

If placental previa causes bleeding in pregnancy, it could also lead to major postpartum hemorrhage.

Placental abruption-induced bleeding during pregnancy can directly affect the fetus's life safety and increase the likelihood of premature birth. In fact, if the baby is successfully delivered, its development in future growth will also be slower than that of ordinary babies.

Implantation placenta can cause bleeding during pregnancy, which may directly penetrate the uterus and cause abdominal hemorrhage, even endangering the mother's bladder and abdominal muscles. This poses a risk to both mother and child.

Common causes of bleeding during pregnancy include implantation bleeding.

If you are pregnant for a short time, the fertilized egg may bleed slightly at the time of implantation. This bleeding usually lasts for about one to two days and is not noticed by many people. At this time, the bleeding is caused by pregnancy.

Second, ectopic pregnancy.

Will ectopic pregnancy, which occurs initially with only a small amount of vaginal bleeding, continue to cause pain? This pain is likely to suddenly intensify.

In the fourth and fifth weeks of pregnancy, an ectopic pregnancy can be detected. Ectopic pregnancies are often confused with miscarriages and warrant adequate attention.

Third, pre-eclampsial.

At the onset of a miscarriage, there is irregular bleeding, and pain in the pelvic area is experienced repeatedly.

In severe cases, the fertilized egg may be intermingled with blood clots and be expelled from the body together. If infection occurs, it can cause fever in women.

Fourth, cervical lesion-induced bleeding during pregnancy.

In severe cases, cervical inflammation can lead to cervical erosion. Additionally, if a woman has a cervical polyp, the changes in progesterone during pregnancy can very easily cause capillaries to rupture, resulting in bleeding.

Fifth, trophoblastic disease.

If there is abdominal pain and distension, the initial bloody discharge increases gradually to continuous bleeding, and finally develops into massive bleeding.

Upon observation, it is observed that the blood contains globules resembling beans, and the patient experiences severe morning sickness.

VI. Placental previa-induced bleeding.

Most of them will have bleeding, and they will suddenly bleed from the abdomen.

Rare cases of placental abruption without hemorrhage.

Seventh, placenta previa.

Placenta previa without any pain sensation, with intermittent bleeding.

Periods of occasional pain and episodes of significant bleeding.

VIII. Premature birth.

The patient's abdominal pain is intermittent, with blood from the initial small amount of bloody discharge evolving into continuous bleeding, which gradually increases in volume.

The difference between bleeding disorders and menstruation. If there is any bleeding in pregnancy, the mother should first go to the hospital to confirm the cause of the bleeding.

Pregnancy bleeding and menstrual bleeding are both symptoms that may resemble each other in terms of appearance. It is generally necessary to conduct some auxiliary examinations to determine whether it is pregnancy bleeding or menstrual bleeding.

Many women who experience spontaneous miscarriages in the early stages of pregnancy exhibit symptoms similar to those of menstruation.

The menstrual cycle of women refers to the regular and cyclical bleeding of the uterus.

With the expulsion of menstrual blood, a series of changes occur in the ovary, such as follicular maturation, ovulation, and formation of the corpus luteum. The volume and color of the menstrual flow, as well as its periodic characteristics, are also fixed features.

If there is bleeding during pregnancy, the amount of bleeding will generally be less than that during menstruation, and there will be varying degrees of abdominal pain. The duration of the bleeding period is also longer than that of menstruation, which typically starts with more blood in the first two days. In contrast, bleeding during pregnancy does not exhibit this characteristic.

Any bleeding during pregnancy, regardless of its volume, should alert the expectant mother. In determining the location of the bleeding, a gynecological examination is generally required.

Most bleeding is indicative of an embryo that is unstable or at risk of premature birth, and mothers must pay close attention to these signs.

Is the baby still wanted in case of pregnancy bleeding? Pregnancy bleeding can be terrifying for expectant mothers and their families, with concerns about its impact on the child. So, is the baby still wanted in case of pregnancy bleeding? Early pregnancy-induced bleeding is primarily due to threatened miscarriage.

Approximately 50% of patients eventually experience a miscarriage.

The likelihood of a threatened miscarriage ultimately leading to actual miscarriage depends on whether the embryo is abnormal. If the embryo is normal, it is possible for bleeding to stop once the cause of the miscarriage is eliminated through rest and treatment, and the expectant mother can continue with the pregnancy.

Women who have had a history of miscarriage or recurrent miscarriages should undergo relevant examinations at the gynecology department before pregnancy.

If the abnormalities in embryonic development, embryonic defects, placental abnormalities caused by genetic defects are due to fetal death or miscarriage, or if there is viral infection, certain systemic diseases, endocrine disorders, excessive coffee drinking, smoking and alcohol abuse among other reasons causing threatened miscarriage, it is recommended to terminate the pregnancy. Even in full-term pregnancies, there may be some defects in the newborn.

Abnormal vaginal bleeding during pregnancy is common and generally does not pose a risk to the fetus. However, it should not be taken as an indication for unwarranted fetal protection.

How to prevent hemorrhagic diseases? Hemorrhagic diseases during pregnancy pose a life-threatening risk to both the mother and the fetus.

Preparation should be made before pregnancy to prevent the occurrence of bleeding disorders during pregnancy.

I. Do not take drugs without a doctor's advice.

During pregnancy, it is essential not to use medications carelessly. This is something that every expectant mother knows. Prior to pregnancy, there were many drugs such as aspirin and indomethacin which could inhibit platelet aggregation, causing vasodilation and potentially exacerbating conditions related to bleeding disorders.

II. Protect the skin and mucous membrane.

For instance, when brushing your teeth, opt for a soft-bristled brush and avoid applying excessive force or rubbing. Ensure that your clothing is loose to prevent injuries from sharp objects as you move about.

III. Pay Attention to Diet.

There are many foods rich in Vitamin C, and avoid hard or coarse foods.

IV. Early pregnancy is prone to threatened miscarriage, so it is not advisable to engage in vigorous exercise or walk for long distances. Carrying heavy objects and performing household chores should be handed over to other family members.

5. Pre-pregnancy examinations should be conducted to avoid fetal loss due to genetic defects and to ensure the health of both the mother and the fetus by addressing any gynecological or systemic diseases before pregnancy.

Finally, I wish every expectant mother a safe and healthy baby.
