Multiple diagnostic methods for threatened abortion

I don't know if you have a certain understanding of threatened abortion. There are many ways to diagnose threatened abortion. The most common ones are Chinese medicine and Western medicine. The difference between the two is quite large. Let's learn about the various diagnostic methods of threatened abortion with the editor below.

Threatened abortion refers to a small amount of vaginal bleeding that occurs in early pregnancy and stops and comes and goes, accompanied by mild lower abdominal pain and backache. It may lead to miscarriage, or it may continue pregnancy after proper treatment. It is mainly caused by the weak constitution of pregnant women, or fatigue, trauma (including improper vaginal examination and sexual intercourse). It is equivalent to "fetal bleeding" in traditional Chinese medicine.

1. Western medicine diagnostic criteria:

(1) Medical history: history of amenorrhea and early pregnancy reactions.

(2) Symptoms: Vaginal bleeding, accompanied by lower abdominal pain or back pain.

(3) Gynecological examination: The cervix is ​​not dilated and the enlargement of the uterus is consistent with the gestational age.

(4) Auxiliary examinations: positive urine pregnancy test or elevated blood HCG value, or B-ultrasound indicating intrauterine pregnancy.

(5) Health guidance

2. TCM diagnostic criteria:

(1) Fetal leakage: A small amount of vaginal bleeding during pregnancy that comes and goes, or continues without backache, abdominal pain, or lower abdominal distention is called "fetal leakage", also known as "uterine leakage" or "fetal leakage". Fetal leakage often occurs in the early stages of pregnancy.

(2) Fetal movement disorder: If a woman experiences lower back pain, abdominal pain, fetal movement or a small amount of vaginal bleeding during pregnancy, it is called "fetal movement disorder", also known as "fetal gas disorder".

3. Self-diagnosis

After pregnancy, there is a small amount of vaginal bleeding. Depending on the amount of bleeding and the time it accumulates in the vagina, the color may be bright red, pink or dark brown. Sometimes it is accompanied by mild lower abdominal pain, a feeling of falling with fetal movement, and mild backache and abdominal distension. About half of patients with threatened abortion will have a miscarriage. Due to excessive bleeding, infection may occur, and even sepsis may lead to death.

When we find a problem, it is more reliable to go to the hospital for examination.
