According to the development stage of abortion, abortion can be divided into five different stages: threatened abortion, inevitable abortion, incomplete abortion, complete abortion, and expired abortion. Threatened abortion refers to those who are accompanied by pain in the waist and abdomen during pregnancy, a small amount of vaginal bleeding, the cervix is ​​not dilated, and a positive urine pregnancy test. Threatened abortion is mainly caused by chromosomal abnormalities and maternal factors.

What are the symptoms of threatened abortion?

1. Menopause: Most patients with spontaneous abortion have an obvious history of menopause.

2. Vaginal bleeding: Generally, the amount of bleeding is small, often dark red, or bloody leucorrhea, but sometimes it can last for 4 to 5 days to more than a week.

3. Abdominal pain: Several hours to weeks after bleeding occurs, it may be accompanied by mild lower abdominal pain or low back pain. After 12 weeks of pregnancy, patients may sometimes feel paroxysmal abdominal pain.

What to do about threatened miscarriage?

1. Absolute bed rest and no sexual intercourse until one week after vaginal bleeding stops. Provide adequate nutritional support.

2. Give oral progesterone capsules (Qining) 1 pill in the morning and 2 pills in the evening for 6 to 10 days. Its main component, progesterone, is extracted from plants such as turmeric and earthworm. Its chemical structure is exactly the same as the progesterone secreted by the human ovary, so it is physiological progesterone. It is differentiated by nanotechnology and emulsified into capsules, which improves absorption and bioavailability and can be effectively absorbed through the intestinal tract. It is easier to administer and accept than injections. It has now replaced general injections for luteal support in threatened abortion. It is extremely beneficial for the treatment of luteal corpus deficiency in threatened abortion.

3. Give vitamin E, folic acid and important auxiliary treatment. Nowadays, a complex vitamin (Elevit) is commonly taken orally. Its folic acid content reaches 0.8rag, which is sufficient for the mother and embryo. It also supplements various trace elements and minerals.

4. Review the B-ultrasound after 1 to 2 weeks. The B-ultrasound confirms that the embryo is alive and the pregnancy can continue. Regular prenatal care until delivery. If B-ultrasound reveals poor embryonic development and β-HCO continues to not rise or fall, it indicates that miscarriage is inevitable and the pregnancy should be terminated.

5. Psychological care: maintain a happy mood and stable emotions. For those who are nervous, a small amount of sedatives that are harmless to the fetus can be given.

Dietary precautions for pregnant women with threatened abortion

Generally, people with threatened abortion should avoid eating cool substances such as barley, cinnamon, dried ginger, peach kernels, crab, rabbit meat, hawthorn, mallow seeds, water chestnuts, etc. People who are generally weak should avoid raw and cold foods. Such as raw and cold fruits, cold vegetables, frozen cold drinks, and ice products. For those with blood-heat constitution, avoid spicy, greasy, and moist-heat foods, such as peppers, mutton, dog meat, pig head meat, ginger, onions, garlic, wine, etc.

Special attention should be paid to the fact that if pregnant women take excessive amounts of sweet and warm supplements such as ginseng, longan, and astragalus, the sweet and warm supplements can easily add fuel to the fire and stimulate the fetus and blood. For pregnant women with yin deficiency and internal heat, it is like adding fuel to the fire. If the Qi is too strong, it will cause burns and block the blood. If the blood is hot, it will move indiscriminately. If the upper and lower Qi are out of balance, it is likely to cause red leakage, lower abdominal distension and other threatened abortions or premature birth. If the Qi is too strong, it will consume Yin, disturb the fetus, and may even be life-threatening. Especially in hawthorn, some of the ingredients contained in it can stimulate the excitement of uterine muscles, causing uterine contractions and leading to miscarriage. Especially for those patients who have had spontaneous abortion, habitual abortion, and those with signs of threatened abortion, it is best not to eat hawthorn during this period to prevent accidents.
