When threatened miscarriage occurs, it is necessary to use medications to sustain the pregnancy. Commonly used medications include the following types: The first type is progesterone medications, which have the effects of stabilizing the uterus and suppressing the immune system; the second type is estrogen medications, which can promote the proliferation of the endometrium, providing a favorable environment for the implantation and growth of the gestational sac; third, traditional Chinese medicine formulations, which also have the effects of stabilizing the uterus, promoting the development of the gestational sac, and reducing bleeding. In addition, it is necessary to conduct examinations based on the symptoms of threatened miscarriage to determine if there are any abnormalities in coagulation indicators. If the threatened miscarriage is caused by abnormal coagulation indicators, anticoagulant medications can be used for treatment.

What is the cause of nausea in threatened miscarriage?

Threatened miscarriage refers to signs of miscarriage during pregnancy, and some women with threatened miscarriage may experience nausea. This situation includes several reasons: First, threatened miscarriage is not the same as a natural miscarriage; women are still pregnant, hence early pregnancy reactions such as nausea are normal. If the nausea is mild, rest and observation are advisable. However, if severe, it is important to visit the hospital for an examination to rule out hyperemesis gravidarum. Second, some cases of threatened miscarriage are caused by gastrointestinal inflammation, such as acute gastritis causing uterine contractions, which then leads to threatened miscarriage. The nausea in these situations is due to acute gastritis, so the nausea is a symptom caused by the condition that leads to the threatened miscarriage, not a direct result of the threatened miscarriage itself.

How many months will it take for a threatened miscarriage to stabilize?

Threatened miscarriage refers to the situation where abdominal pain and bleeding occur during pregnancy due to instability of the gestational sac or fetus. Most threatened miscarriages occur in the early stages of pregnancy, hence, the likelihood of experiencing threatened miscarriages during the mid or late stages of pregnancy is relatively low. Most threatened miscarriages stabilize after the first three months of pregnancy, which is approximately 12 weeks. By this time, the fetus has moved from the pelvic cavity into the abdominal cavity, and the placenta has formed. With the support of the placenta, the fetus can grow more stably. In early pregnancy, the instability of the gestational sac makes it susceptible to external influences, which can easily lead to threatened or even spontaneous miscarriage.

Can a threatened miscarriage be treated to preserve the pregnancy?

In cases of threatened miscarriage, whether to continue the pregnancy depends on the specific situation of the pregnant woman and the embryo inside the womb. If the vaginal bleeding is relatively minor, there is no severe abdominal pain, and an ultrasound shows that the embryo is still alive, then it is possible to continue with medication to maintain the pregnancy. However, if the symptoms of threatened miscarriage are severe after it occurs, and ultrasounds show abnormal embryo development, along with a continuous decline in human chorionic gonadotropin levels, these conditions indicate that miscarriage is inevitable, and it is generally not recommended to continue trying to maintain the pregnancy.

Can you take a bath with a threatened miscarriage?

If a threatened miscarriage occurs, it indicates that the connection between the embryo and the mother is not yet secure, making bleeding likely. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid bathing at this time to prevent exacerbating vaginal bleeding and promoting the progression of miscarriage. During the threatened miscarriage phase, it is best to avoid what can be avoided. Wait until the vaginal bleeding has stopped and abdominal pain has disappeared for a week before bathing, as the impact will be minimal by then.
