Bloody discharge in early pregnancy

Probably, almost every future mother is concerned about spotting on early pregnancy, which does not always require medical treatment, and moreover, they are not pathologies, because some of them can even be considered normal for this period.

How to distinguish normal discharge from pathological in the beginning of pregnancy?

The first thing that needs to be done with the appearance of minor bloody discharge in the early stages of pregnancy is to pay attention to their color and consistency.

The norm for the first weeks of pregnancy are neobylnye, whitish, slightly pinkish discharge odorless, which begin to stand out as a result of the hormones responsible for maintaining a pregnancy.

Often they are similar to menstrual, can be red or brown, but not so plentiful. In most cases, this is due to the fact that during this period the body still "remembers" the days when menstrual bleeding occurs, therefore, the appearance of bloody discharge is possible. This is not dangerous provided that you are not disturbed by any pain.

Sometimes a woman can feel minor spasms, but in most cases this process is painless. If one week has passed since the moment of conception and you observe such a discharge, there is no cause for concern. But going to the doctor is a mandatory condition, since it is important to be sure of the safety of the fetus, and in many cases such discharges can be "harbingers" of the threat of miscarriage.

Another "well-known" cause of the appearance of smearing bloody discharge in the early stages of pregnancy can be called erosion of the cervix. The thing is that at this time the flow of blood to the uterus is increasing, which provokes bleeding from the mucous membrane of its neck, which can, in principle, be compared to a sore ulcer. Provoke the appearance of such secretions and sexual intercourse, but they are painless and quickly pass by themselves.

Also among the known reasons for the appearance of bloody discharge in the early stages of pregnancy may be the presence of polyps in the cervical canal. Also, as in the previous case, such discharges are insignificant in volume and absolutely painless. Perhaps their appearance and with varicose expansion of blood vessels in the external genitalia.

What else can talk bloody mucus discharge in the early stages of pregnancy?

This kind of phenomenon at the beginning of pregnancy is very dangerous, both for the life of the future mother and for the fetus. As can be seen from the above, the reasons for their appearance are quite diverse. In this case, the discharge can be not only a manifestation of the pathology of the cervix, but also evidence of oncological formations in the reproductive organs.

So, if in the first weeks of pregnancy you observe brown discharge (known in the people as "daub"), this may be a sign of a small detachment of the fetal egg, and a frozen or ectopic pregnancy (often this may lead to miscarriage).

Often, for diagnosis of pathologies in the early stages of transvaginal ultrasound, after which there are spotting, small in volume. They appear as a result of trauma to the mucous membrane of the vagina, so they do not have any negative consequences for the future mother.

Thus, before taking any action, the doctor must determine the exact cause of spotting in the early stages. After all, not always they are a sign of violation and require medical intervention.
