Is threatened miscarriage contagious?

Threatened abortion is a big blow to expectant mothers. Many people want to know if this disease is contagious? Experts point out that threatened abortion is not contagious, so there is no need to worry about it. If you do not seek medical treatment in time, it will have adverse consequences. Here is how to avoid threatened abortion.

1. Pregnancy preservation period: In principle, the pregnancy preservation period is 2 weeks. If the symptoms do not improve after 2 weeks, it indicates that the embryo may have developmental abnormalities. A B-type ultrasound examination is required to determine the condition of the embryo and give appropriate treatment. The pregnancy should be terminated if necessary.

2. Preserve the fetus according to the cause: Whether the occurrence of threatened miscarriage will lead to miscarriage often depends on whether the embryo is abnormal. After rest and treatment, the cause of miscarriage is eliminated, and the pregnancy can continue. For example, if the threatened miscarriage is only caused by excessive fatigue, physical labor, abdominal trauma, etc., the fetus can be preserved as long as the embryo is healthy. If the threatened miscarriage is caused by endocrine disorders, such as luteal insufficiency (luteal insufficiency [translation]: the corpus luteum is not formed after ovulation of the ovary, resulting in insufficient secretion of progesterone. The main manifestations are shortened menstrual cycle, frequent menstruation, infertility or miscarriage.) or hypothyroidism, it can be treated with progesterone, vitamin E or thyroid hormone supplementation.

3. Pay attention to rest: Pregnant women should rest in bed more and reduce activities, but this does not mean lying in bed for 24 hours without moving. They should do some light activities appropriately. Sexual intercourse must be prohibited, and unnecessary vaginal examinations should be minimized to reduce stimulation to the uterus. In addition, breast stimulation should be avoided, because breast stimulation can also cause uterine contractions and lead to threatened abortion.

4. Pay attention to abdominal pain in case of threatened abortion: If you experience backache and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen that does not ease after rest or even gets worse, you should be alert. If the lower abdominal pain gets worse, accompanied by vaginal bleeding and tissue-like discharge, you should report it to your doctor immediately.

5. Do not use drugs randomly to protect the fetus: pregnant mothers should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible if they find signs of threatened abortion, instead of choosing drugs to protect the fetus at will. Because there are many reasons for threatened abortion, and the treatment methods vary from person to person, if you cannot choose drugs to protect the fetus according to the cause, it will be very dangerous to the fetus.

6. Pay attention to the amount and nature of bleeding: Observe whether there is any tissue in the vaginal discharge at any time. It is best to keep the discharge for the doctor to observe. If the amount of bleeding increases, go to the hospital for treatment in time.

In order to pay better attention to your health, seek medical treatment in time, and pay attention to a reasonable diet, I wish the patient a speedy recovery.
