What to do if you have threatened miscarriage?

What should you do if you have threatened miscarriage? There are many reasons for threatened miscarriage, such as abnormal embryo development caused by genetic defects, viral infection, maternal systemic diseases, etc. If not treated in time, it may lead to miscarriage and the fetus may be lost. So, what should you do if you have threatened miscarriage? The following is a detailed introduction.

General treatment: If threatened abortion occurs, pregnant women should pay attention to rest, reduce activities, refrain from sexual intercourse, avoid unnecessary vaginal examinations, reduce stimulation to the uterus, and avoid excessive mental stress, otherwise it will cause abortion. After the bleeding stops, it is best to rest for two weeks before returning to work. This treatment method for threatened abortion is suitable for female friends with mild symptoms of threatened abortion.

Drug treatment: Progesterone can ensure embryonic development, maintain pregnancy, inhibit uterine smooth muscle contraction, and reduce uterine tension. In the early stages of pregnancy, the treatment of threatened abortion with drugs can use progesterone to maintain pregnancy, or intramuscular injection of human chorionic gonadotropin. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, sedatives and blockers can be used to reduce mental stimulation and inhibit uterine contractions. In addition, oral vitamin E is also beneficial to maintain embryonic development.

Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: Traditional Chinese medicine can treat according to syndrome differentiation. For patients with kidney deficiency, Cuscuta, Mulberry, donkey-hide gelatin and Dipsacus asper can be used. For patients with trauma, Xiao Chaihu Decoction with additions of Angelica, Bupleurum, Raw Astragalus, Cimicifuga root, Mulberry, donkey-hide gelatin and Dipsacus as a treatment for threatened abortion can be used.

Since more than half of threatened miscarriages are caused by genetic factors of the embryo itself, doctors usually adopt the principle of survival of the fittest and do not blindly adopt fetal preservation treatment. Only when the cause of threatened miscarriage is clear (such as insufficient progesterone secretion, cervical incompetence, etc.), the doctor may give you corresponding treatment.
