    Bloodshot leucorrhea during pregnancy may be caused by threatened abortion, cervical lesions, vaginitis, fluctuations in hormone levels, external stimulation, etc. It can be improved by bed rest, drug treatment, cervical examination, adjusting living habits, and avoiding strenuous exercise. It is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly to determine the cause.

    1. Threatened abortion

    Bloodshot leucorrhea in early pregnancy may be related to threatened miscarriage, and is usually accompanied by lower abdominal pain or backache. At this time, absolute bed rest is required and avoid lifting heavy objects or standing for long periods of time. The doctor may recommend the use of progesterone capsules, dydrogesterone tablets and other drugs to protect the fetus, and also monitor the embryonic development with blood HCG and B-ultrasound. If the amount of bleeding increases or tissue discharge occurs, emergency treatment is required immediately.

    2. Cervical lesions

    Cervical polyps, cervical columnar epithelial ectopia and other lesions can easily lead to contact bleeding due to congestion during pregnancy. It needs to be evaluated through gynecological examination or colposcopy. Serious lesions are usually not treated during pregnancy, but the possibility of cervical cancer needs to be ruled out. Daily sexual intercourse stimulation should be avoided. When bleeding is heavy, local drugs such as Baofukang suppository can be used as directed by the doctor to relieve symptoms.

    3. Vaginitis

    Bacterial vaginosis or Candida infection may cause vaginal mucosal damage and bleeding. Typical symptoms include odorous discharge and vulvar itching. Relatively safe drug treatments such as clotrimazole vaginal tablets, nifurtel, nystatin vaginal soft capsules, etc. can be used during pregnancy. Before using the drug, the type of pathogen must be confirmed through routine leucorrhea routine, and self-washing of the vagina is prohibited.

    4. Hormone fluctuations

    Changes in progesterone levels may cause a small amount of lining of the uterus to peel off and produce brown bloody discharge. This situation usually occurs before 12 weeks of pregnancy and can be observed if there is no abdominal pain and little bleeding. It is recommended to reduce the amount of activity, supplement nutritional supplements such as vitamin E capsules, and avoid eating cold and raw foods to stimulate uterine contractions.

    5. External stimulation

    Temporary bloody discharge may occur after a gynecological examination, sexual intercourse, or strenuous exercise. It is necessary to suspend related activities, use pure cotton breathable underwear and clean the vulva every day. If bleeding continues for more than 2 days or is accompanied by fever, special conditions such as subchorionic hematoma need to be ruled out and hospitalized for observation and treatment if necessary.

    If bloody leucorrhea occurs during pregnancy, the color, amount and duration of bleeding should be recorded, and tampons should be avoided. Keep your vulva clean and dry and choose unscented care products. Increase the intake of high-quality protein such as eggs and fish, and take appropriate folic acid tablets to prevent fetal neural tube defects. Monitor the condition of the fetus during regular prenatal check-ups, and seek emergency medical attention if bright red bleeding or regular contractions occur.
