Many expectant mothers pay extra attention to their own condition during pregnancy. When they notice bleeding in their lower body after pregnancy, they become very nervous and afraid that something is wrong with their baby. However, many pregnant women may not be very familiar with some issues during pregnancy, so they do not know why this is happening. So what causes early pregnancy bleeding?
Early pregnancy bleeding should first be confirmed to be intrauterine pregnancy, as ectopic pregnancy can also cause early pregnancy bleeding. Because the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, it cannot provide sufficient nutrition to the embryo, resulting in the gradual development of the fertilized egg causing the fallopian tube wall to expand, which can lead to tube wall rupture. The bleeding caused by ectopic pregnancy usually occurs at 7-8 weeks of pregnancy, accompanied by severe abdominal pain or massive intra-abdominal bleeding.
Of course, it could also be a normal phenomenon. Because in early pregnancy, about 50% of pregnant women will experience bleeding. Some types of bleeding are safe, such as implantation bleeding and bleeding caused by polyps, so there is no need to worry excessively when encountering bleeding caused by these reasons. Implantation bleeding is caused by slight bleeding for one or two days when the fertilized egg implants in the uterus. Next, when the placenta implants on the inner wall of the uterus, a small amount of bleeding is also normal, which is a sign of fetal growth and development.
It is also possible that some gynecological diseases existed before pregnancy, and these diseases will not suddenly disappear after pregnancy, which will naturally affect the health of pregnant women and may also cause bleeding. It is recommended to first go to the hospital for examination to confirm the cause before considering the treatment plan.
