What is biochemical abortion and what are the characteristics of biochemical pregnancy?

Many women experience bleeding after pregnancy and are very worried and go to the hospital for examination. This may be a sign of biochemical abortion. Some people are confused about what biochemical abortion is. Let me explain what it means.

The medical term for biochemical abortion is biochemical pregnancy, which means there is no clinical pregnancy, only blood B-HCG indicates pregnancy. Now it is called "subclinical abortion" in medicine. It means that the sperm and egg have combined. Generally, the sperm and egg will secrete chorionic gonadotropin seven days after the combination. After another seven days, it can be detected with an early pregnancy test paper. Often the sperm and egg have combined and secreted, but they must combine into a fertilized egg, and the fertilized egg must return to the uterus to implant. Biochemical pregnancy means that the combination has not returned to the uterus to implant, or it has returned but has not implanted. This is called biochemical pregnancy.

Biochemical pregnancy is a subclinical abortion and should be distinguished from other abortions due to diseases or accidents. If it is a biochemical pregnancy, it will not have a big impact if it happens once in a while. It will return to normal after the menstrual cycle and will not affect future pregnancies. Progesterone (PRGE) and human chorionic gonadotropin (THCG) are both indicators of pregnancy. If the test results show a significant decrease and there is vaginal bleeding, it can be diagnosed as a spontaneous abortion. The main reasons are poor embryo development and abnormal chromosomes. This situation is more common for some women when they are doing IVF. However, most women do not go to the hospital for examination and do not care about it. They will ignore it as delayed menstruation. In fact, it is already a spontaneous abortion. Women of childbearing age should not be panicked when encountering such a situation. This is the result of natural elimination and generally will not affect the next pregnancy. If this happens many times, you should go to the hospital for further examination.

Biochemical pregnancy has the following notable characteristics:

1. ZZY can detect a weak positive, but it is difficult to reach a positive, let alone a strong positive.

2. B-ultrasound cannot see the presence of a gestational sac in the uterus.

3. A very low blood HCG value only means that you are pregnant, but it cannot indicate whether implantation is successful.

4. Generally, spontaneous abortion will occur within 50 days. There will be grayish white film discharge.
