If you've heard these stories, you might get the impression thatmenstruation during pregnancy - A common thing, well, except that feature of an organism. In fact it is not.
But after listening to the revelations of her friends, a young mother to discover that she had
during pregnancy go monthlyAbsolutely no worries and no hurry for a visit to the gynecologist.
The situation is further complicated by the presence of a fairly large number of "living examples" of this phenomenon. And my mother say that with all of this pregnancy was normal, and the baby was born healthy.
Well, if so. This means that they are very lucky. After all, in fact, no monthly during pregnancy is not and can not be! This is a dangerous misconception that can result in the loss of the child and health complications expectant mother.
Let's see what can cause this phenomenon and how it is so dangerous.
Menstruation during pregnancy: can this be
First, let's refresh knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of women.
As you know, once a month in a woman's body matures the egg is ready to conceive. If fertilization has occurred, at the time it is destroyed. During this period, the uterus contracts and out, in the form of bleeding, it turns out actually what remains of the egg, as well as pieces of the endometrium - the tissue that lines the wall of the uterus.
If the egg has been fertilized, ie pregnancy, as they say, on the face, the essence of the processes varies considerably.
The body prepares a special place for the embryo and works hard to prevent the uterus to tear the embryo.
In particular, the female body starts to produce a special hormone - progesterone. This hormone has two main functions. First, it stimulates the proliferation of the inner shell wall of the uterus (endometrium) to the embryo would better penetrate and attach thereto. Secondly, the hormone does not decrease uterine wall that prevents rejection of the embryo.
I hope it is clear from this thatmonthly during pregnancy can not go. Well, if you still have them, what is the reason?
Why go monthly during pregnancy
As already mentioned, spotting during pregnancy can not be considered monthly. The reason for the same discharge may be different pathology, hormonal functions of the body mothers. This phenomenon may be a sign of detachment of the ovum, threatening miscarriage.
Let's look at some examples in detail.
Often women who find that they haveduring pregnancy go monthlyActually sufferviolation of progesterone. If this hormone is very small, then in position for normal menstruation time, you may experience spotting with fragments of endometrium.
This means that the uterus, as in the conventional case, is cleaned and at the same time can detach the fruit. Prevent this, of course, impossible. Therefore, if timely treatment the doctor prescribes the expectant mother drugs that replace progesterone. In most cases, the threat of miscarriage with this kind of disorder is docked, and my mother quietly continues to bear a child.
As the cause of the so-called monthly during pregnancy can bePathology of the fetus (genetic changes) or ectopic pregnancy.
It also happens that
the fruit is attached not too well. For example, if the expectant mother suffers from endometriosis or fibroids there. Attach to this dysfunctional place, the embryo can not develop normally, poorly supplied with oxygen, that is, it may be a miscarriage.
Another hormonal disorders, leading to the appearance of bleeding -hyperandrogenism. That is, simply, an overabundance of male hormones. If untreated, this phenomenon often leads to delamination of the ovum and thus miscarriage.
With timely treatment of these effects can be avoided.
Another fairly rare phenomenon can identify those women whoduring pregnancy go monthly.
It so happens that initially are formed embryo 2, ie Multiple pregnancy. But when one of them is developing normally, and the other for some reason rejected by the body (wrong place attachment, pathology, etc.). In this case
monthly during pregnancy are a signal about the process of rejection of one of the embryos.
As you can see, the reasons for such phenomena asmonthly during pregnancy far from harmless. Even worse consequences.
So do not listen to the advice of seasoned and do not close your eyes to what is happening. Even if you feel well, do not feel pain and discomfort, but you have spotting, do not hesitate to consult a doctor with a question,
why go monthly during pregnancy.
And if spotting is also added back pain, something like a fight, the discharge becomes quite abundant, immediately call an ambulance. It may be that a separate trip to the clinic will cost you baby!
As already mentioned, in many cases, especially if it is "hormones acting up", with timely treatment to a specialist can avoid the threat of miscarriage. In other cases, even if nothing can be done, the sooner you notify the doctor that yougo menstruation during pregnancy, The greater the chances of avoiding health problems and hope for the following, more successful pregnancy.
