Will both biochemical and threatened abortion cause bleeding?

Both biochemical and threatened abortion can cause vaginal bleeding, but the specific degree and manifestation of bleeding vary from person to person. You need to judge based on the symptoms and seek medical attention as soon as possible. Biochemical pregnancy is usually characterized by menstrual-like bleeding after a few days of delayed menstruation, while threatened abortion is usually characterized by varying degrees of vaginal bleeding, which may be accompanied by abdominal pain and other symptoms. If you feel unwell, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to get a clear diagnosis and take appropriate measures.

1. Why does bleeding occur during biochemical pregnancy?

Biochemical pregnancy refers to a type of pregnancy failure in which the fertilized egg has implanted but failed to develop normally, which usually occurs in early pregnancy. As the fertilized egg stops developing, the hormone level in the body decreases, causing the endometrium to shed, triggering menstrual-like bleeding. The amount of bleeding may be slightly more or similar to normal menstruation, with a darker color and mild abdominal pain. It is recommended to resume a good work and rest schedule in time, confirm whether it is a biochemical pregnancy through B-ultrasound or blood HCG test, and track the recovery of hormone levels according to the doctor's advice. Avoiding preparing for pregnancy again in a short period of time will help repair the endometrium.

2. Characteristics and treatment of threatened abortion bleeding

Threatened abortion refers to signs of miscarriage in early pregnancy, but the pregnancy has not yet ended. In this case, the amount of vaginal bleeding is usually small or moderate, accompanied by dark blood, and abdominal pain or backache may occur. The main causes include embryo abnormalities, maternal pathological diseases such as luteal insufficiency, thyroid dysfunction, or external environmental factors such as excessive fatigue, infection, and impact. When symptoms of threatened abortion appear, you should immediately stop strenuous activities, lie flat in bed, keep your emotions stable, go to the hospital for B-ultrasound and hormone monitoring, and take progesterone and other drugs as prescribed by the doctor to protect the fetus if necessary.

3. How to distinguish biochemical pregnancy from threatened abortion?

Biochemical pregnancy usually occurs in the first 4-6 weeks of pregnancy, and the HCG value is low, while threatened abortion occurs between 5-12 weeks of pregnancy, and the HCG value rises significantly. Both can be distinguished by blood tests for dynamic changes in HCG and B-ultrasound examinations. Further reference can also be provided based on factors such as the amount of bleeding, accompanying symptoms such as abdominal pain, discharge of tissue, and pregnancy history.

It is recommended that all pregnancy-related abnormalities, such as abnormal bleeding, abdominal pain or any discomfort, should be treated promptly and closely observed. Everyone has different physical conditions, and early detection and early treatment can better protect health.
