Seven reasons for vaginal bleeding during pregnancy

 

 

1. Abortion

Be caused by:

Fetal chromosomal abnormalities, maternal hormone imbalance, uterine congenital abnormalities or acquired defects, immune system problems, infection, mothers suffering from chronic diseases (such as heart disease, kidney disease and blood diseases), overwork, stress, sexual life is too violent, external impact, environmental pollution, inappropriate medication, smoking, drinking, or excessive intake of caffeine may promote uterine contraction of other food.

Doctors' advice:

Before the placenta is fully formed, embryo implantation is not stable, so many factors can cause miscarriage. When the abortion occurs, the embryo and the uterine wall occurs in varying degrees of separation, the separation surface of blood vessels once broken, will result in vaginal bleeding.

A medical research statistics, more than 50% of the mothers could survive the hurdle of bleeding in early pregnancy, successful pregnancy continued; about 30% of mothers abortion may occur; In addition, nearly 10% of mothers could be ectopic pregnancy or other problems. Some mothers worry that early pregnancy have abnormal vaginal bleeding, miscarriage after the success of the baby will be unhealthy. Many studies have shown that more than half of abortions are caused by abnormal embryo itself, which is a natural selection, if we can continue the pregnancy, the fetus is usually normal.

 

 

2. Ectopic

Be caused by:

Have had pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic adhesions or tubal surgery history, or did the previous ectopic pregnancy had occurred and so on.

Doctors' advice:

Fertilized egg implants outside the uterus to facilitate as ectopic pregnancy, the incidence is about 1%, of which 95% of ectopic pregnancies occurred in the fallopian tube. Since the wall is very thin tube, the embryo can not supply adequate nutrition, and the gradual development of the fertilized egg to the fallopian tubes wall expansion will lead to wall rupture in the 7 to 8 weeks of pregnancy will cause abnormal vaginal bleeding, and even serious abdominal pain or heavy bleeding caused by shock.

In the early stages of pregnancy to determine if the ultrasound examination failed to find signs of the embryo within the uterus, on the importance of early detection in blood chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG), to diagnose whether the possibility of ectopic pregnancy, and make timely appropriate treatment.

 

 

3. Mole

Be caused by:

Mothers younger than 20 years of age or above 40 years of age, lack of food, carotene and animal fats, had a history of abortion, hydatidiform mole had a history of smoking.

Doctors' advice:

Mole is a benign chorionic disease incidence is about 1 ‰, a higher incidence in Asian countries a number. Because the abnormal proliferation of placental trophoblast cells, the end of hair into blisters, blisters connected between the clusters, the shape of grapes, which is called "mole." In early pregnancy have abnormal vaginal bleeding, severe morning sickness and even heart palpitations and other symptoms.

Often use ultrasound and blood test can diagnose human chorionic gonadotropin, treatment is the use of vacuum aspiration endometrial remove the mole, and then keep track of the index of human chorionic gonadotropin, were normal until three consecutive weeks, followed by once a month and then track, for six months to normal, if not ideal human chorionic gonadotropin fell, we must consider the use of chemotherapy. In the follow-up period must be strictly contraception, plan to become pregnant only after two years to cure.

 

 

4.Cervical polyps, cervical erosion or cervical lesions

Be caused by:

The complexity of life, good health habits and lifestyle is not normal, such as poor body resistance.

Doctors' advice:

For early pregnancy bleeding, many people tend to ignore the issue of the cervix. Severe inflammation resulting cervical erosion, cervical polyps or had been, it is easy because the pregnancy hormone changes caused by surface capillary bleeding.

Cervical cancer occurs most frequently in recent years the age has been quietly dropped from 30 to 40 years old, is pregnant does not mean that the cervix must be no problem, both before and after pregnancy should have regular Pap tests; if there is vaginal bleeding early pregnancy phenomenon, the cervix should also check if there are problems.

 

5. Placenta previa

Be caused by:

Mothers who had an abortion surgery, uterine fibroids, uterine malformations, previous cesarean birth, the uterus had received surgery, there is the history of placenta previa, and smoking.

Doctors' advice:

Normal pregnancy, the placenta is attached to the uterine wall of the anterior, posterior or top, if the placenta attached to the site of the uterus is too low, cover the mouth of the cervix, blocking the first exposed parts of the fetus, known as pre- placenta.

The incidence of placenta previa is approximately 1 / 200, according to the placenta covers the clinical extent of the mouth of the uterus is divided into four types: complete, partial, marginal, and low resistance. As the number of weeks of pregnancy the uterus will increase as larger, placental location will also improve. If, after eight months pregnant, still complete or partial placenta previa, the risk of vaginal bleeding greatly improved.

Since late pregnancy or labor after uterine segment gradually extended, and the mouth of the placenta in the womb can not be extended accordingly, leading to the front part of the placenta from its attachment stripping, the sinuses rupture and bleeding. Initial blood volume is usually small, stripped at the blood coagulation, bleeding can be temporarily stopped, the amount of bleeding occasionally for the first time on a lot of cases. With the continued extension of the lower uterine segment, often recurrent bleeding, and the amount is increasing. Different types of placenta previa, bleeding characteristics are not the same. Complete placenta previa bleeding first time earlier than 28 weeks gestation, known as the "alert bleeding"; marginal placenta previa bleeding occurs in late pregnancy or labor, the less amount of bleeding; partial placenta previa initial bleeding time, blood loss and the number of repeated bleeding in between. Since a large number of repeated or vaginal bleeding, mothers, anemia and bleeding, the more the more severe anemia. Bleeding can be serious shock, can lead to fetal hypoxia, distress and even death.

 

6. Premature

Be caused by:

Mothers younger than 18 years of age or greater than 38 years of age, mothers themselves have certain diseases (such as pregnancy-induced hypertension), busy, pressure, history of preterm birth before, multiple births, uterine fibroids, double angle uterus, smoking, drug use and inappropriate.

Doctors' advice:

4 months of pregnancy, uterine contractions every day from time to time a few seconds, medically known as "painless contractions", is a normal phenomenon. If a pregnant 37 weeks before increasing the frequency of uterine contractions, abdominal or have a strong sense of falling, pain, vaginal bleeding, backache, throbbing labia, these are the symptoms of preterm labor, to seek medical treatment immediately. As long as adequate rest, with drug treatment (severe requiring hospitalization), the majority of mothers can be successful pregnancy to term production.

 

 

7. Placental abruption

Be caused by:

Pregnancy-induced hypertension, maternal age, gestational diabetes, external impact, multiple births, the umbilical cord is too short, had a history of placental abruption.

Doctors' advice:

Under normal circumstances, after the spin-off of output in the fetal placenta; before the baby is delivered, the placenta partially or completely separated with the uterine wall, is called placental abruption. Placental abruption is a serious complication of late pregnancy, progress quite quickly, if not handled in a timely manner, may endanger the life of the mother and fetus.

Clinically divided into two types, external and internal bleeding. Blood out of the main symptoms of placental abruption is vaginal bleeding, bleeding is generally more dull red color, will be accompanied by mild abdominal pain. Bleeding type placental abruption situation is more serious, occurred in mothers with severe pregnancy-induced hypertension who, for the sudden onset of symptoms of persistent abdominal pain or backache, vaginal bleeding may be only a few or no bleeding, the extent and size due to spin-off. How much blood after the placenta varies, the more blood the more severe pain.

In the event of placental abruption, fetal conditions that are extremely dangerous and must terminate the pregnancy, cesarean section implemented as soon as possible to save the life of the mother and fetus.
