How to distinguish premature abortion from menstruation

Indeed, some women cannot tell the difference between threatened abortion and menstruation. Threatened abortion is manifested by a small amount of vaginal bleeding, back pain and lower abdominal pain. In addition to threatened abortion, miscarriage also includes incomplete abortion, complete abortion, and inevitable abortion.

Incomplete abortion refers to an inevitable abortion after the fetus is expelled, but part or all of the placenta remains in the uterine cavity. In a completely aborted fetus, the placenta has been completely expelled, bleeding has stopped, and abdominal pain has disappeared. Inevitable abortion is a further development of threatened abortion, with vaginal bleeding far exceeding the amount of threatened abortion and menstruation, and abdominal pain aggravated..

Menstruation is something that women must experience every month. Generally, it comes once a month for about 28 days, lasting 3-5 days each time, with a total menstrual cycle volume of 20-50 ml. During menstruation, there are often discomforts such as breast development, back pain, anxiety, and lower abdominal collapse.

How to differentiate between threatened miscarriage and menstruation?

The symptoms of menstruation and threatened abortion are partly the same and can be easily confused. The difference between threatened abortion and menstruation can be identified by the amount of menstruation and the duration of symptoms of discharge.

The bleeding from miscarriage is less than that from menstruation, and the degree of abdominal pain varies. There is basically no abdominal pain, and the symptoms disappear after rest. The amount of menstrual bleeding is moderate. Generally, there will be more in the first three days, and then the amount will decrease. Dysmenorrhea has severe abdominal pain. If you still feel pain after resting for a period of time, you must take painkillers.

The most important difference between the two can be determined by checking blood and urine HCG. Threatened abortion is what we often call pregnancy spotting.
