How painful is the abdominal pain of threatened miscarriage?

The degree of abdominal pain of threatened abortion varies from person to person. It may manifest as mild lower abdominal discomfort, moderate cramping pain, or severe pain similar to dysmenorrhea. Be alert to other symptoms that may be associated with it, such as vaginal bleeding or back pain. It is recommended to see a doctor as soon as possible to get a clear diagnosis and take necessary treatment measures.

1) Causes of abdominal pain in threatened abortion

When threatened miscarriage occurs, lower abdominal pain is usually caused by abnormal contractions of the uterus and may be due to a variety of factors.

① Unstable factors in early pregnancy: Insecure implantation of the fertilized egg or abnormal embryo development may lead to uterine stimulation, dull pain or cramping pain in the lower abdomen.

② Endocrine disorders: If the secretion of progesterone is insufficient, it will affect the normal development of the placenta, leading to uterine contraction and pain.

③ External factors: strenuous exercise, excessive mood swings, work fatigue, etc. may increase the risk of miscarriage and induce abdominal pain.

④ Complications or other diseases: uterine malformation, infectious diseases (such as urinary tract infection, intrauterine inflammation, etc.) can also cause similar abdominal pain.

2) Characteristics of abdominal pain in threatened abortion

The abdominal pain of threatened abortion is usually concentrated in the lower abdomen, often paroxysmal or spasmodic, and may also be accompanied by a small amount of vaginal bleeding, lumbar pain, etc. It should be noted that if the abdominal pain worsens or the bleeding increases, it is likely to indicate that the abortion is gradually progressing. At this time, it is very important to seek medical attention as soon as possible.

3) How to deal with abdominal pain during threatened miscarriage

① Seek medical attention promptly: If abnormal abdominal pain occurs, you should go to the hospital immediately for examination and confirm the condition of the embryo through B-ultrasound, blood tests, etc.

②Drug treatment: The doctor may prescribe pregnancy-preserving drugs, such as progesterone supplements, vitamin E, etc., to stabilize progesterone secretion and reduce uterine contractions.

③Lifestyle adjustments: rest in bed as much as possible, avoid strenuous activities, keep your emotions stable, and eat more foods rich in folic acid such as green vegetables, beans and nuts to supplement the nutrients needed during pregnancy.

④ Follow the doctor's advice: Do not use drugs or folk remedies without authorization to avoid aggravating the condition; for some situations that require emergency intervention (such as persistent severe pain or heavy bleeding), hospitalization for observation or even uterine curettage may be required.

Abdominal pain during threatened miscarriage may be a warning signal from the body. Do not ignore abdominal pain and other accompanying symptoms. In the face of abnormal pregnancy, you should communicate with your doctor immediately and take scientific and effective measures to protect the fetus, so as to reduce the risk and protect the health of pregnant women and fetuses.
