Can vaginal examination be performed for threatened abortion?

When a pregnant woman knows that she has signs of threatened miscarriage, she is afraid that the baby will be lost from her belly, so she is very cautious. When she learns from the doctor that she needs to do a vaginal B-ultrasound, she has all kinds of worries in her mind. How can she do a vaginal B-ultrasound when she is bleeding? Will the baby be lost if the instrument hits the baby again? Therefore, she sincerely refuses to do a vaginal examination. In fact, vaginal examination is necessary. Let us now see whether a vaginal examination can be done for threatened miscarriage.

When you find vaginal bleeding, when you think it is a threatened abortion, but the doctor cannot confirm it, a vaginal examination can detect threatened abortion. Other diseases such as cervical polyps, cervical erosion, and early cervical cancer can also cause vaginal bleeding.

Women can rest assured when using a speculum for vaginal examinations for the following reasons:

1. Vaginal examination: if there are no cervical polyps, cervical erosion, early cervical cancer and other diseases, and the blood is flowing out of the cervix, it can be diagnosed as threatened abortion bleeding;

2. During vaginal examination, if cervical polyps are found and bleeding from the polyps is observed, it can be diagnosed as polyp bleeding.

Therefore, if the latter is diagnosed, the doctor does not need to take measures to preserve the pregnancy. It is possible to remove the polyp immediately and stop the bleeding, which naturally avoids a false alarm. If the bleeding is caused by cervical erosion, the doctor will use gauze to compress and stop the bleeding, which can also eliminate the false alarm.

Female friends should understand clearly that they should not blindly think that stimulating the vagina will lead to aggravated miscarriage. The doctor will do an examination based on the patient's condition, so you should not worry about the disadvantages of doing a vaginal examination if there are signs of threatened miscarriage. For the health of the baby, please cooperate with the doctor. I wish you all a happy pregnancy!
