Mischief during pregnancy: causes

It's no secret that with the onset of pregnancy, menstruation in women stops. This is considered the norm. But some women have a small spotting discharge in the first weeks after pregnancy. What is it and how dangerous is it?

Early pregnancy swindle

Fears of pregnant women about such discharge are not groundless. Of course, you should not immediately assume the worst scenario for the development of events, but you should not relax and let everything go by itself either.

By the word "daub" is meant a slight discharge that only stains the linen. The appearance of this kind of discharge should be a reason to see a doctor. A pregnant woman will be examined, if necessary, sent for an ultrasound scan and done hCG blood test.

With the help of ultrasound, it will be possible to assess the condition of the embryo and placenta, determine a frozen or ectopic pregnancy. This will allow you to take timely measures and start treatment. The level of hCG in the blood of a pregnant woman should normally increase in the first weeks. Therefore, according to the dynamics of the increase in hCG, one can conclude about the development of pregnancy.

Discharge color during pregnancy

Much can be said by the color of the discharge. So at the beginning of pregnancy, thick mucous discharge of white, odorless color can be considered normal. Their appearance is caused by the influence of the hormone progesterone, which is responsible for keeping the ovum inside the uterus. At this time, a mucous plug forms in the cervix, which prevents the embryo from leaving the body of the uterus.

The appearance of a white discharge of a curdled consistency with an unpleasant odor indicates the onset of candidiasis or thrush. This ailment often worries pregnant women. To avoid candidiasis, you need to take probiotics during pregnancy.

You should be wary if the discharge becomes yellow. Sometimes burning, pain and itching join the discharge. This may indicate an onset of inflammation or an incipient miscarriage.

If the discharge becomes greenish, then, most likely, we are talking about serious deviations. The cause of such discharge may be a sexually transmitted disease.

Brown discharge may indicate the onset of a miscarriage or placental dissection. In this case, you must definitely seek help.

The reasons for the daub

After a comprehensive examination, the doctor will determine the cause of the smear and prescribe treatment or recommend terminating the pregnancy.

Usually, the appearance of spotting discharge is associated with the following factors:

• Miscarriage occurs when there is an insufficient amount of progesterone in the body of a pregnant woman. In this case, the ovum is perceived by the body as a foreign body that needs to be disposed of. A miscarriage begins, in which small spotting first appears. In this case, an urgent need to start treatment in a hospital, subject to bed rest.
• Placental abruption can occur due to excessive physical exertion or emotional stress. It can be determined using ultrasound. Urgent hospitalization is required to maintain the pregnancy.
• A frozen pregnancy is also accompanied by brown stains. This condition is determined by analysis for hCG and ultrasound. Unfortunately, in this case it is impossible to save the child.
• Ectopic pregnancy is characterized by the development of the fetus not in the uterine cavity, but in the tubes, ovary or cervix. The growth of the fetus injures the walls of the organ and brown discharge appears. If nothing is done, the fetus will rupture the organ, severe bleeding will begin, threatening the woman's life.

As you can see, the appearance of a smear almost always means serious pregnancy problems. Therefore, it is best to immediately seek help at the first warning signs.
