Causes of bleeding during early pregnancy: what to do? Causes of bleeding during pregnancy, how to stop? Pregnancy 5 weeks spotting do

During pregnancy, almost all women experience the formation of new sensations and manifestations, which, as a rule, are not characteristic of normal life. These changes include the fact that brown discharge is formed at the 5th week of pregnancy, which in many cases disturb expectant mothers.

If brown drops are found on underwear with such early dates, a pregnant woman may be frightened and think about what the condition is with the fetus, and this is a well-founded alarm. Therefore, in the presence of brown or pink mucus from the vagina, an immediate consultation with a specialist is required, as this can harm not only health future mother but also the baby.

Bloody discharge at the 5th week of pregnancy may indicate that a change is taking place in the body of a pregnant woman, and this may be a common failure in the system or a serious pathology. Basically, the symptom indicates that there has been an influence of the physiological process, which tends to occur in early pregnancy. Unfortunately, this is not the only cause of the disorder.

Often the manifestation brown discharge, and also, if blood is separated from the vagina, it means that a serious violation has occurred in the body, which can lead to serious consequences. Find out the cause of the formation of brown discharge, when the 5th week of pregnancy can only be a specialist. Doctors identify the most basic factors that can provoke a disorder. This group includes:

• the influence of the physiological process;
• manifestation of miscarriage;
• occurrence ectopic pregnancy;
• the formation of erosion on the cervix;
• the formation of polyps;
• the appearance of a cystic drift;
• progression of inflammation in the reproductive system;
• the formation of injuries in the pelvis.

Despite the reason for the formation of brown discharge during pregnancy, you should not panic in advance. If a deviation from the norm is detected, a woman should contact her doctor (gynecologist). The doctor after the examination will prescribe a passage necessary analyzes and determine what the bloody discharge from the vagina is connected with. Then all necessary measures will be taken to preserve the fetus and not harm the health of the pregnant woman.

The action of the physiological factor

When a woman has brown discharge at the 5th week of pregnancy, the cause is often a miscarriage, which is characterized by a threat to the condition of the fetus and, as a result, this can lead to its discharge from the uterine organ. Spontaneous abortion causes aching and cramping pain. At the same time, the lower abdomen is pulled, and the woman develops sensations of frequent urge to urinate.

If the expectant mother has brown discharge at 5 weeks of pregnancy, then the cervix gradually opens and shortens. Naturally, abortion is stressful for any woman. In the event of a spontaneous miscarriage, it is necessary to urgently consult a specialist, because it is likely that the remnants of the fetus have lingered in the uterine organ. With their presence in the reproductive system, unpleasant complications can form that will negatively affect the health of a woman.

Discharge against the background of ectopic pregnancy and erosion

Another factor in which spotting occurs at the 5th week of pregnancy is the formation of an ectopic pregnancy. This means that the embryo joins and begins its full development in the wrong structure of the penis. Such attachment is a deviation from the norm. A pregnant woman often observes the occurrence of scanty discharge with the expression of severe pain in the lower abdomen during an ectopic pregnancy.

If a woman has not cured erosion on the cervix before fertilization, then it can manifest itself at any stage of pregnancy. When the patient has erosion and pregnancy at week 5, bloody issues appear during exercise. Vaginal discharges are not characterized by abundant secretions of mucus and, in general, they are not dangerous for the baby and the expectant mother. The only exception is if an infection has occurred. With this form, the elimination of the disease is required.

Therapeutic measures

When a pregnant woman has discharge Brown color need medical techniques. As a rule, the formation of a disorder provoked by physiological changes is not treated, since such symptoms gradually disappear without the influence of medications. If another serious factor affects the body, urgent measures are required. The specificity of the treatment depends on the type of pathological process, severity, stage, and how the pregnant woman feels. In medical practice, with such forms of the disorder, a conservative and operative technique is used. With a complex form, combined treatment is practiced.

Important! The manifestation of vaginal discharge during early pregnancy, regardless of type and form, requires due attention. It is possible that this symptom hides a serious illness. Conservative therapy is prescribed if a woman has been diagnosed with erosion in the cervix, an inflammatory process in the vagina, and also if there is a threat of miscarriage.

Under such circumstances, carry out drug treatment, which in a short time improves the well-being of a pregnant woman. If a woman has bleeding, then they are prescribed hemostatic medicines, depending on the cause of the disease. Doctors prescribe medications, guided by what pathological process occurs in the body. The most commonly used drugs are:

• progesterones (substances of Duphaston, Utrozhestan);
• Ginipral substances;
• antimicrobials;
• Augmentin, Azax;
• sedatives (Novo-passit, Alora);
• corticosteroid substances (Dexamethasone preparations);
• vitamin and mineral complexes.

In addition, the use of physiotherapy is also used in gynecological practice. Such procedures have a good effect when properly followed. The technique is prescribed when a woman has a threat of abortion, as well as with an inflammatory disease in the remission period.

Application of operational techniques

There are cases when the formation of a pink discharge, and also, if a brown spot is observed in a pregnant woman, require surgery. The operation is mainly performed if the patient has an ectopic pregnancy, an abortion has occurred, or polyps have been identified in the uterus. Depending on what disease progresses in the body of a woman, appoint:

• carrying out laparoscopy;
• lower median laparotomy;
• remove polyps with a hysteroscope.

It is worth knowing that the formation of a dark brown or scarlet discharge from the genitals of a pregnant woman at an early stage does not always indicate the development of a serious disease. In some cases, this is just the body's reaction to changes. As a rule, regardless of the type of vaginal discharge and general condition, you should seek medical help.

Eugene asks:

Hello!
I have the beginning of the 7th week from the day of the last menstruation or the 5th week from the day of ovulation (day 17 of the cycle) The fetus is not visible on the ultrasound (it was checked on 4 devices). The doctor advises to do a purge, as it suggests a threat to my health (but only because the embryo and pregnancy hormones 22000 are not visible). Blood tests are in order, I take folic acid, calcium and hormones. Yesterday, according to the doctor, I should have bled and I went to the ambulance, but everything turned out to be in order. Not blood secretions. I decided to wait a week and a half. If at least one chance that the pregnancy will not terminate?

Responsible Bosyak Yulia Vasilievna:

Hello Evgeniya! First of all, I advise you to take an analysis for hCG in dynamics, every 2 days. With a normally developing pregnancy, the indicator should double. With an ectopic pregnancy, the progression of hCG growth will be underestimated; when fading, the indicator does not increase or falls. Honestly, you should not hope for the normal development of uterine pregnancy. First of all, it is necessary to exclude an ectopic pregnancy.

Natalia asks:

There was a frozen pregnancy for a period of 9-10 weeks. There was a lot of blood discharge, I was taken to the hospital. On Monday, they did an ultrasound, they said 100% miscarriage, and on Wednesday they did a cleaning and took biomaterial for histology.
Conclusion of histology: areas of the endometrium with signs of regression after a violation of early pregnancy. In the decidual tissue, large-focal fibrinoid necrosis, hyaline and fibrin thrombi in vessels of all calibers. Free-lying masses of fibrinoid. Hypo
avasculogenesis with fibrinoid necrosis of their stroma.
Could this be related to some kind of infection? Or a weakened immune system?

Responsible Palyga Igor Evgenievich:

Hello, Natalia! AT this case infections and weakened immunity have nothing to do with it, I advise you to be examined for APS and the presence of thrombophilia.

Anna asks:

Hello. For the last half a year, several symptoms have regularly begun to bother me: severe itching in the vulva (mostly when I take a shower), discharge (of a different nature - sometimes curdled with an unpleasant sour smell, sometimes just white-yellow mucous membranes), and the pains have also increased during menstruation, accompanied by the release of blood clots. Itching manifests itself mainly in the middle of the cycle, especially after intercourse, which usually falls in the middle of the cycle (that is, once a month). After intercourse, everything burns, bakes, turns red, pinching cracks appear and worries for up to a week. Closer to menstruation, the symptoms subside.
Has addressed to the gynecologist. Immediately on examination, he said that I have chronic inflammation of the pelvic organs, that my discharge is not good, it looks like thrush, which was confirmed on a smear. The smear also showed mixed flora. He sent me to take 6 tests, and all for IgG (!!!):
1) Herpes Simplex Virus 1, 2 types - positive (PI = 16.36) with normal PI 2) Cytomegalovirus - positive (C = 141.7) with normal C 3) Toxoplasma gondii - negative (C 4) Chlamidia trachomatis - negative (PI=0.05) with normal PI 5) Mycoplasma hominis - negative (PI=0.27) with normal PI 6) Ureaplasma urealyticum - negative (PI=0.17) with normal PI I am confused by several points. Firstly , it is not clear how, based on these analyzes alone, a reliable conclusion can be made about the state of my health (I have some understanding of the essence of the analyzes for IgG, IgM and the PCR method). The gynecologist said that based on the results of these tests, he would immediately be able to prescribe treatment for me. Secondly, there is a misunderstanding regarding the reliability of the results. Maybe you can help me understand the meaning of the tests:
In 2008, 6 months after the onset of sexual activity, I took PCR tests for herpes type 1.2, cytomegalovirus, chlamydia, ureaplasmosis, mycoplasmosis, and also for human papillomavirus. Positive results were only for ureaplasma and mycoplasma. I was treated and after 2 months I again passed on ureaplasma and mycoplasma. The PCR result was negative. The question is:
1) why is IgG negative for ureaplasma and mycoplasma today, if this immune memory was supposed to remain in my body?
2) if the immune memory in the face of IgG specifically for ureaplasma and mycoplasma disappears over the years, so to speak, then why bother to take this analysis today if it is not informative.
I'm confused about who to trust. The feeling that they want to treat me according to the principle "it's okay if you drink a couple of extra pills." And for me this is very important, because I have a hard time taking medication (nausea, heaviness in the stomach, constipation, fractional nutrition and a strict diet for 8 years now, despite many examinations and courses of treatment).
We are planning a second child in the next year or two, and I just want to be healthy. 4 years ago after childbirth, cryotreatment of cervical erosion was performed.
In 2010, at a period of 4-5 weeks of pregnancy, she did an ultrasound scan, which showed signs of bilateral adnexitis with signs of adhesions in the pelvis. By 10-12 weeks, Trichomonas was found in me and treated with injections (Trichomonaden Fluor Injel No. 10), arguing with the likelihood of rupture of the membranes. Could these ten injections cure me? There was no re-examination then in 2010, and a smear showed the absence of Trichomonas a week ago. No other infection was found then. My husband was also treated for Trichomonas.
4 years ago after childbirth, cryotreatment of cervical erosion was performed. We are planning a second child in the next year or two, and I just really want to be healthy. Thank you in advance!

Responsible Palyga Igor Evgenievich:

Hello Anna! According to the description, I can state that you have a classic picture of candidiasis (thrush). After completing a course of antifungal treatment, disturbing symptoms should disappear. The main thing is to continue taking the antifungal drug on the first day of menstruation for at least 3 menstrual cycles, because. with the onset of menstruation, thrush may worsen. There is no point in testing for the presence of Ig G, because the presence of Ig G indicates contact with infections in the past and cannot be treated at any (!) values, this is the body's immune memory. Acute infection is evidenced by Ig M and their rapid growth.

Olga asks:

Hello, please tell me, I went for an ultrasound, they put an ectopic pregnancy in question. I passed the tests for hCG, the result is 63.3 IU / l, which corresponds to 1-3 weeks of pregnancy. They sent me to the district gynecologist, she gave me a referral for hospitalization. hurts. Can the diagnosis be wrong. Thanks

Responsible Bosyak Yulia Vasilievna:

Hello Olga! First, how long are you late? Secondly, it is necessary to donate blood for hCG in dynamics, every 2 days. With a normally developing pregnancy, the indicator should double. If there is no such progression and the fallopian tube is visualized on ultrasound, then the pregnancy is ectopic. All this should be checked in a hospital, where you should go to bed as soon as possible. While the period is short, it is possible to solve the problem conservatively. With an increase in the term, there will be a threat of removing the pipe.

Oksana asks:

Hello, this morning there was bloody discharge, it shoots a little in right side and gives in the leg. I did an ultrasound: the uterus corresponds to 5-6 weeks, the vulgarity of the uterus is enlarged up to 8 mm with the presence of shapeless echo inclusions, at the right rib of the uterus there is a rounded formation - a “corolla” of 5 ml 3 G, then a FETAL EGG is questionable? And the conclusion is a right-sided tubal pregnancy. I went to the doctor with an ultrasound scan, he looked at me on the chair, said to take hCG and preti in a week. He says that maybe it's not WB. This was all in the morning today, after them I bled like on the 3rd day of the month. Now it seems to have calmed down, but my temperature has risen to 37.2. What should I do? I'm afraid that the pipe may burst

Diana asks:

Hello! Please tell me, I'm 7-8 weeks pregnant, today I started bleeding! I called an ambulance, they put it in storage! They did an ultrasound, they said the fetus is low, the threat of miscarriage! Explain if everything will be fine with the baby, I'm very worried! And the mother is strong! Thanks in advance!

Responsible Bosyak Yulia Vasilievna:

You most likely have a retrochorial hematoma. The fruit cannot be low-lying, because. as such, there is no fetus yet, but there is an embryo. You should have been prescribed supportive therapy, bed rest. Further it is necessary to observe in dynamics. As a rule, in 80% of cases everything ends well, there is no threat of fetal malformations.

In early pregnancy, it is important to monitor the duration and nature of the discharge. In some cases, they are the norm, but they can also be caused by problems with the fetus, various diseases.

Blood in the 5th week of pregnancy occurs in many. Do not ignore it, you must consult your doctor.

Main reasons

Not everyone knows why there was blood at the 5th week of pregnancy. In the fetus during intrauterine development, the blood flow system is common with the mother. In the first months, the child does not have its own vessels that would provide oxygen and nutrient compounds. They only form later.

At the beginning of the pregnancy period, organogenesis occurs in the fetus, when vital organs and systems begin to form. At this time, any minor impact can cause dangerous consequences.

In the normal course of pregnancy, a woman should not have bleeding, although physiological discharge is allowed. In some cases, this is evidence of dangerous pathologies that threaten the development of the fetus.

Embryo implantation

If blood began to flow at the 5th week of pregnancy, then the appearance of spotting bloody discharge can be caused by the successful implantation of the embryo into the uterus and attachment to the wall. Because of this, a few drops of blood may appear on the underwear. Such a symptom can frighten many women, especially when they are not yet aware of changes in the body.

Around the 5-7th week of pregnancy, women go to the hospital, as their periods stop. After examination by a gynecologist, blood clots may stand out. Don't worry, it goes away in a few days. It is only necessary to give up physical activity.

sexual intercourse

If there is bleeding at the 5th week of pregnancy, it may be caused by sexual contact. In this case, the mucous layer of the vagina is damaged. You should not worry, but it is better to choose the most gentle positions during intercourse.

Transvaginal ultrasound

The first transvaginal ultrasound is performed to determine pathologies in the mother and the developing fetus. After such a procedure, blood may be released from the genital tract.

The procedure is carried out only as prescribed by the gynecologist. Usually the discharge is minor and disappears on its own after a few hours. In this case, pain does not occur (maximum - slight discomfort).

bubble skid

A hydatidiform drift is understood as a pathological condition that leads to the death of a child. In this case, the embryo is replaced by connective tissue. Scientists and doctors have not established the causes of this phenomenon. There are no threats to the woman's life, but the fetus dies.

Ectopic pregnancy

dangerous pathology. It is accompanied by the appearance of blood at 4-5 weeks of pregnancy. As a rule, it manifests itself in the first 3 months. The most severe complication is the rupture of the fallopian tube, where the fetal egg is located.

The beginning of an ectopic pregnancy is almost no different from the standard one: the pharmacy test for hCG is also positive, the mood changes, and heaviness in the mammary glands is felt. All this is due to changes in the hormonal background after conception.

A feature of an ectopic pregnancy is that the fetus does not attach to the uterine wall, but remains in the canal. This development of the embryo is not provided by nature, so it cannot develop. As a result, the woman begins to bleed heavily, which leads to a miscarriage.

This condition provokes the appearance of the corresponding symptoms. Some faint.

The pain is very intense. To reduce it, painkillers are required. It is best to administer them parenterally. Hospitalization is mandatory. Otherwise, severe complications may occur. At the hospital, doctors will remove all parts gestational sac from the fallopian tube. In most cases, you have to delete the entire channel.

Frozen pregnancy

Another pathology is missed pregnancy. It can appear in the first months of pregnancy (in most cases, the second or third from the beginning of conception).

For a pathological condition, it is characteristic that the fetus simply stops developing due to the influence of any factors. This is determined during an ultrasound scan, as well as a special test for hormone levels.

When the pregnancy stops, the woman's symptoms begin to change. Soreness in the mammary glands is reduced. Sometimes there is severe discomfort in the abdomen. In addition, body temperature may rise, but only slightly.

Cervical erosion

One of the most common pathologies among women is cervical erosion. This problem occurs even in women who have not given birth.

Pathology can develop due to the action of various factors. Doctors try to cure a woman even before conception occurs. The therapy promotes epithelialization of the mucous layers, thereby reducing the risk of possible severe consequences during pregnancy.

But this is not the case in all cases. Many women find out that they have cervical erosion already during pregnancy. In this case, any therapeutic actions can cause bleeding. This applies to both ultrasound and gynecological examination. Also various injuries, infectious diseases, sexual intercourse.

Usually, during pregnancy, when cervical erosion is found in a woman, expectant management is used, which involves limiting possible surgical intervention. If it is absolutely impossible to do without treatment, then it is carried out only in extreme cases.

Polyposis

Polyposis is also quite common in women. Many neglect the need for therapy before conception, which is a complete wrong decision.

Due to hormonal changes, polyps can grow in size. A complication is their detachment and infection. In such situations, there is usually bleeding. Its intensity depends on the size of the detached neoplasm.

Treatment of polyposis is required before becoming pregnant, as the process is lengthy. In addition, a long rehabilitation is required without fail.

Phlebeurysm

Drops of blood at the 5th week of pregnancy from the genital tract in women can still be caused varicose veins veins. In this case, the intensity will be medium. Knots can also appear on the legs. The rupture of the thin wall of the vein leads to the fact that blood appears in the genital tract.

Diseases that are sexually transmitted

Erosive forms can develop due to diseases that are sexually transmitted. When an exacerbation begins, it is accompanied by bleeding in some cases.

In pregnant women, the immune system deteriorates significantly, which can lead to the activation of sexually transmitted diseases and their rapid development. To eliminate the symptoms, special drugs may be prescribed. In this case, the treatment is prescribed by a venereologist.

Spontaneous abortion

No less terrible situation is spontaneous abortion. As a rule, it occurs in a completely favorable situation.

The woman feels severe pain in her lower abdomen. She goes to the anal area, thighs. As a rule, such pain is extremely severe. A woman can scream and moan, because she cannot stand it.

If the bleeding is too intense, the patient may lose consciousness. Possible severe dizziness, weakness appears. The woman needs to be hospitalized immediately. In this case, the fetus is removed from the uterus. The procedure is performed by a gynecologist.

breakthrough bleeding

Breakthrough bleeding is also called intermenstrual bleeding. It starts just at the time when there should be critical days. In this case, symptoms often appear that usually occur during menstruation. This applies to back pain, cramps, a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, a feeling of bloating, weakness.

Since the woman is pregnant, menstruation does not occur. In this case, hormones do not allow discharge to occur. But in some cases, they still do not have time to reach maximum performance in order to stop menstruation. As a result, the so-called “breakthrough” occurs, that is, bleeding. This can last up to a maximum of 3 months.

placental bleeding

Bleeding from the vagina without feeling pain can also occur due to the fact that the placenta is placed abnormally. Sometimes it is too low in the uterus or even above her neck. This phenomenon is called placenta previa.

According to statistics, it is found in 0.5% of cases in pregnant women. In addition, the cause of bleeding may be another problem with the placenta - its exfoliation (complete or partial) from the walls of the uterus). This situation occurs in 1 in 200 cases.

Feels at the same time strong pain. The bleeding is very intense. It can be both visible and hidden directly in the uterus.

uterine fibroids

At the 5th week of pregnancy, bleeding may imply uterine fibroids. The latter is understood as masses that are made of compacted muscle or fibrous tissue. They can be both inside the body and outside. This condition may or may not be problematic during pregnancy.

It depends on the location of the neoplasms, as well as on whether they tend to increase in size. It is best to remove such a build-up before conception. However, many women with uterine fibroids give birth even without any complications.

How to be

Not everyone knows what to do with blood at the 5th week of pregnancy. If a woman has bleeding from the genital tract, then it is imperative to consult a doctor. Usually, all patients in this position are advised to be hospitalized. This is required to be done. In the hospital, doctors will determine the cause of the bleeding and will be able to choose the optimal set of procedures for treatment.

If during pregnancy at 5 weeks blood smears, clots appear from the genital tract, then many women are afraid to contact their gynecologist, although an unscheduled examination is required. Due to ignoring the condition, it worsens, and the possible pathology develops more intensively. Timely treatment is required, so a visit to the doctor should not be delayed.

When bleeding begins, you need to remain calm, but at the same time call an ambulance without delay. It is best if someone close is with the woman at this time. This will help her to be less nervous, to remain calm. It is very important to provide fresh air. To do this, ventilate the room by opening a little window.

If the bleeding is heavy, then it is necessary to lay a pad in the underwear, which is suitable for normal menstruation. Do not move around the room. The woman must be in a supine position. In this case, you should slightly raise her legs.

When blood clots appear at the 5th week of pregnancy, you should not bathe in the bathroom or take a shower. Hot water will only make the symptoms worse. If you feel a strong thirst, dry mouth, then you need to drink water. Thanks to this, the situation is slightly improved.

Relatives or those people who are next to the woman must prepare her documents at this time, including medical ones. You will need a passport, medical card, compulsory medical insurance policy. When the doctors arrive, they will offer her hospitalization. This is how they do it in most cases. Especially if a woman has a serious condition.

Only if the pathology is not dangerous, then it is allowed to stay at home. In this case, you will need to visit your gynecologist-obstetrician the next day.

Conclusion

In any case, if blood occurs at the 5th week of pregnancy without pain, such symptoms cannot be ignored in any case, since not only the health of the woman, but also the condition of the unborn child depends on this. The sooner you turn to a specialist, the greater the chance of recovery.

Pregnancy is an important physiological process that takes place in the body of every woman. Most girls in the first weeks of carrying an embryo do not even assume that a pregnancy has arisen in their body. new life. One of the main changes in the body, signaling the presence of a fetus in the body of the uterus, is the stop of menstruation. But you should not assume that there can be no discharge at the 5th week of pregnancy. Often, in the obstetric fifth week of gestation, discharge of various colors (mostly brown) and consistency occurs. The causes of these formations from the vaginal organ can also be very diverse. Some of the secretions are the norm, and some are pathologies. What are the discharges at the 5th week of pregnancy and what to do if they occur? Let's figure it out.

Before you learn about the features of the discharge during pregnancy in the fifth week, you should carefully know what signs indicate the presence of a fetus in the womb of a woman in a five-week period.

To early signs pregnancy include:

• an increase in the body of the uterus in size (can be determined independently in front of a mirror);
• frequent urination;
• change in taste preferences;
• vomit;
• morning sickness;
• mild headaches;
• excessive fatigue;
• causeless irritability;
• pain in the area of ​​the mammary glands;
• slight increase in body temperature;
• a sharp increase or complete disappearance of libido.

But not always these signs can appear during a five-week pregnancy, because they depend on the individual characteristics of the body of each girl. The onset of pregnancy may occur without any symptoms.

Causes of discharge at 5 weeks pregnant

Pregnancy for a future mother is a reason for happiness and joy, but the body itself is under severe stress. All major power organs female body aimed at preserving the embryo in the womb and the full bearing of a healthy baby. Therefore, if you find small scarlet or brown spots on your underwear, you should not panic. You should calmly consult a doctor and explain the whole situation.

There are times when a woman still has her period in the fifth week of gestation, and at such moments the expectant mother is not yet aware of the pregnancy. Many experts argue whether this is bleeding during menstruation, or whether such discharge is considered a common feature of gestation. Currently, this phenomenon is called “color pregnancy”. This is not considered any deviation, but for complacency and confirmation of pregnancy, it is imperative to visit a gynecologist.

The main causes of discharge at the five-week gestation period include:

1. Pathological detachment of the placenta.

If the expectant mother is worried about abundant spotting in the fifth week of pregnancy, found on underwear, it is necessary to consult a gynecologist as soon as possible, since this phenomenon is considered abnormal and can harm the health and even the life of the child.

2. Restructuring of hormonal balance.

When pregnancy causes changes in a woman's hormonal balance, a pregnant lady may find spotting from light brown to dark brown in color. If such formations do not cause discomfort in the form of hard tolerable itching and hyperemia of the genital mucosa and skin of the labia, you should not worry.

3. Diseases, the etiology of which is trauma to the genital organs.

Injuries to the genital tract and erosion of the neck of the uterine organ can also contribute to the occurrence of discharge. In this case, the color of the allocated secret can be: brown, light pink and scarlet.

4. Infections of the female reproductive system.

Discharge with an unpleasant itch, a repulsive odor and continuous pain may indicate the addition of an infectious disease. The color of the secretion secreted during the infectious course can be:

bright white;

Cheesy bright white discharge stands out with a fungal infection of the vagina. The weak immune system of the newly-made mother is not able to prevent the pathogens of the infection, so the addition of thrush pathogens is not difficult. But, unfortunately, to use medications that aggravate the vital activity of the fungus is not desirable, as this can adversely affect the health of the unborn child.

white with a yellowish tint;

In such secretions, there is more white than yellow. As a rule, such formations from the vagina are accompanied by a disgusting odor and severe itching in the female genital area. The cause of white-yellow discharge is a violation of the microflora of the vagina.

yellow;

If the secreted liquid has yellow, this means that the walls of the vagina are affected staphylococcal infection. This is very dangerous for the baby, since if the pathogen enters the body of the uterus and actually to the embryo itself, serious disturbances in the development of the child can occur. yellow discharge in the fifth week of pregnancy, they undergo rapid treatment without the occurrence of complications, subject to an accurate diagnosis and the appointment of appropriate therapy.

red;

Red discharge most often occurs due to damage to the cervix, or rather, erosion. As a rule, erosive inflammation is accompanied by an infectious course. This pathological condition, like other diseases, threatens the development and life of the fetus. Due to the softened and inflammatory neck, the risk of infection of the embryo is very high, so you should not allow the occurrence and further

spread of erosion of the neck of the uterine organ. If blood discharge is detected at the 5th week of pregnancy, an urgent specialist consultation and possible hospitalization are desirable.

brown.

Brown discharge at the 5th week of pregnancy is considered a deviation only when a pregnant woman is tormented by pain in the perineum and lower abdomen, itching and hyperemia in the labia. Such secretions are accompanied by the smell of sweetness, acid and fish.

You should know that copious discharge may pose a threat to the unborn child. In severe cases of disease, many doctors recommend an early termination of pregnancy.

Brown discharge at the 5th week of pregnancy makes the expectant mother to be vigilant and careful. If there are additional signs of a possible infectious disease (pain, hyperemia, increased itching), you should consult a doctor in order to diagnose and make an accurate diagnosis.

During the first trimester of gestation, the presence of brownish discharge should alert a pregnant woman.

According to statistics, it is the 5th and 6th weeks of pregnancy that are characterized by frequent fading of the fetus in the womb, this process is reported by abundant brown discharge from the vaginal area.

Another important reason for brown discharge during early pregnancy is the development of an ectopic pregnancy. If you do not terminate the pregnancy in the ectopic tube in time, you can achieve its rupture and internal bleeding. A lot of women, postponing a trip to the gynecologist with this problem, seriously aggravate their health. Thus, the absence of urgent surgical intervention can lead to the death of a pregnant woman.

In what cases it is necessary to see a doctor

If we are talking about pathological discharge, then the trip to the doctor should not be postponed in the following cases:

• 1. brown discharge at a five-week pregnancy, formed with the presence of a bad smell, pain in the lower abdomen and deterioration of the general condition (fatigue, drowsiness, apathy).
• 2. Thick white, yellow and greenish discharge accompanied by tangible discomfort in the external genitalia.
• 3. brown discharge at the fifth week of pregnancy, the duration of which is accompanied by short pauses. This phenomenon most often occurs with a frozen pregnancy.
• 4. Copious light brown discharge report that the embryo is in the fallopian tube.

It should also be remembered that the following symptoms can indicate pregnancy disorders in addition to discharge from the organs of the reproductive system:

• dizziness;
• weakness;
• excessive sleepiness;
• nausea;
• frequent vomiting;
