Common medication misunderstandings in patients with threatened abortion

When women of childbearing age learn that they have signs of threatened miscarriage in the early stages of pregnancy, they do not seek medical treatment but blindly take medication. This will lead to worse results. Therefore, if mothers want to protect their babies in their belly, they should follow the doctor's advice and take good care of the fetus. Next, let us analyze the misunderstandings about medication in patients with threatened miscarriage.

Myth 1: Taking medicine or supplements is necessary to protect the fetus

In fact, it is not necessary to take medicine to preserve pregnancy. In general, if you can avoid taking medicine, then don't do it, and if you can use less medicine, then use less medicine. Some pregnant women's way to preserve pregnancy is to rest more. If you need to take medicine to preserve pregnancy, it depends on the specific situation of the pregnant woman, such as her hormone levels and symptoms.

When protecting the fetus, you should not use supplements randomly, and it is best not to take supplements containing ginseng. Ginseng can promote blood circulation and has an "anti-coagulant" effect, which may cause bleeding or even miscarriage.

Myth 2: Overuse of progesterone to maintain pregnancy

All pregnancy-preserving drugs should be used in accordance with the doctor's instructions. The main ingredient of the pregnancy-preserving drugs currently used in medicine is progesterone. Progesterone belongs to the progestogen class of drugs. Scientific research in recent years has found that progesterone not only has the effect of regulating endocrine and preserving pregnancy, but also has a good immune and preserving pregnancy effect.

However, pregnancy-preserving drugs also have their hazards. All medicines are toxic. Using progesterone as a pregnancy-preserving drug has the following side effects.

1. It may cause the female embryo to have more body hair after growth.

2. It may cause certain deformities in the development of the fetus’s urogenital organs.

There are many reasons for threatened abortion, and the treatment methods vary from person to person. If you cannot choose the right medicine to protect the fetus, it will be very dangerous to the fetus. During pregnancy, keep your emotions stable, avoid a tense environment, supplement with adequate nutrition, and take some vitamin E orally. I wish you all a good pregnancy!
