Girls' body shape and posture will undergo different changes at different stages, and menstruation will accompany them from development until the end of menopause. During this period, when girls get married and have children, no one pays much attention. Many girls don't know if they are pregnant, and their stomachs don't change much. So, how can we distinguish between miscarriage and menstruation?
How to distinguish between miscarriage and menstruation
The simplest way to distinguish between miscarriage and menstruation is to check HCG. If HCG is elevated, it indicates pregnancy. At this time, vaginal bleeding related to pregnancy should be considered, such as threatened miscarriage, biochemical pregnancy, and even ectopic pregnancy; But if the HCG test is negative, then there is no need to worry about pregnancy at all.
HCG testing can be done through blood or urine tests, and the accuracy of blood tests is slightly higher. It can also detect pregnancy a day or two earlier. However, many pregnancy tests are now more sensitive and have good accuracy.
There is a special type of miscarriage called biochemical pregnancy. This type of miscarriage usually does not show obvious signs of amenorrhea in mothers. Some people only experience a slight delay in menstruation, or even vaginal bleeding without experiencing any delay at all. This type of miscarriage usually occurs when the embryo has just been implanted. Due to the early time and low vaginal bleeding, it is similar to a normal menstrual cycle, so it is easily overlooked. If careful women go for a check-up, they will find that HCG is positive, with a slight increase followed by a rapid decrease.
How to prevent spontaneous abortion
1. The optimal age for women to conceive at the appropriate age is 25-29 years old. Those who are too young may experience miscarriage due to immature physical development, while those who are too old may experience natural miscarriage due to decreased reproductive function and chromosomal mutations.
2. After a natural miscarriage occurs, it should be separated by more than six months, and pregnancy can only be resumed after the uterus has fully recovered and the body's qi and blood have been restored.
3. Do a good pre pregnancy physical examination, especially for women with a history of miscarriage. A comprehensive examination should be conducted. If any diseases are found, treatment should be carried out first, and pregnancy should be resumed after the disease is cured.
After pregnancy, do not exercise excessively and maintain a good mood. Family members should understand and care for pregnant women more. If you are not pregnant, you should pay more attention to your diet and lifestyle, avoid menstrual periods that are different from your usual menstrual cycle, and promptly go to the hospital for examination and treatment in case of any adverse conditions. I hope all girls have a good body and a happy life.
