परिभाषा
Threatened abortion is a diagnosis that is made during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. Vaginal bleeding could suggest an increased risk of miscarriage.
का कारण बनता है
Early-pregnancy bleeding can originate from the uterus, cervix, vagina, or the external genital area.
In many cases, the cause of the bleeding is due to a minor condition that requires no treatment. But if you have any vaginal bleeding during your pregnancy, especially if you also have abdominal pain, you should contact your doctor.
Possible causes of bleeding include:
- Implantation of the embryo
- संक्रमण
- Irritation (eg, after intercourse)
- गर्भपात
- Ectopic pregnancy (the baby develops outside of the uterus)
- Molar pregnancy (rare growth inside the uterus)
जोखिम कारक
Factors that may increase the risk of threatened abortion include:
- संक्रमण
- सदमा
- कुछ औषधियाँ
- उन्नत मातृ आयु

उपचार
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Many cases of threatened abortion require no treatment at all. In other cases, treatment options include:
Bed Rest
If you are bleeding heavily, your doctor may recommend bed rest. This has not shown to be beneficial, though. Your doctor may also want you to limit your activities.
दवाएं
Your doctor may prescribe progesterone . This is a female hormone that supports a pregnancy.
If your blood is Rh-negative and your partner’s blood is Rh-positive, your doctor will give you an injection of Rho immune globulin. This will prevent your body from producing antibodies against your fetus’ blood.
If you are diagnosed with a threatened abortion, follow your doctor’s instructions .
रोकथाम
While there is no clear way to prevent threatened abortion, you can take these steps to have a healthy pregnancy:
- Get regular prenatal care.
- Avoid alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs.
- Limit caffeine intake.
- Control any long-term conditions that you may have (eg, diabetes, thyroid disorder).
