Suggest Treatment For Vaginal Bleeding During Pregnancy

Hi, my name is Candice. Tomorrow I will be 5 weeks pregnant. Last night I went to the toilet and when I wiped myself I saw some blood. Today I've had cramping and although I wasn't bleeding when I woke up I've been bleeding all afternoon. It's a bright red colour blood. Not that heavy but also not light in flow.

Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion there are various causes for bleeding during pregnancy like :-
1)Thyroid abnormalities .
2)Progesterone insufficiency.
3)Abnormal pregnancy like miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
4)Bleeding from cervix.
etc.

So all the above causes should be ruled out by physical examination and necessary investigations.

Ultrasound helps to know the well being of fetus.

Thyroid profile helps to rule out any thyroid abnormalities.

So I suggest you to consult doctor and get examination done to check for the cause of bleeding.

Don't worry in some cases even though with the presence of bleeding everything will be normal and pregnancy continues till term and have good outcome.

Relax.Avoid physical stress and intercourse.

Take folic acid and progesterone supplements.

Once the cause is treated it will subside in most of the times.

Hope this helps .
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
