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

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

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

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

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

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

Regardless of the reason for the formation of brown discharge during pregnancy, do not panic in advance. If a deviation from the norm is detected, a woman should contact her attending physician (gynecologist). After the examination, the doctor will prescribe the necessary tests and determine what the bleeding from the vagina is associated with. Then all the necessary measures will be taken to preserve the fetus and not harm the health of the pregnant woman.

Physiological factor action

When a woman has brown discharge at the 5th week of pregnancy, often the cause is a miscarriage, which is characterized by a start with a threat to the condition of the fetus and, as a result, this can lead to its discharge from the uterus. With a spontaneous abortion, there is a aching and cramping pain. At the same time, the lower abdomen pulls, 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, termination of pregnancy is stressful for any woman. In the case of a spontaneous miscarriage, it is necessary to urgently consult a specialist, because it is likely that the remains of the fetus have lingered in the uterus. With their presence in the reproductive system, unpleasant complications can form that will negatively affect the woman's health.

Discharge against the background of ectopic pregnancy and erosion

Another factor in which the appearance of spotting discharge 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 genital organ. This connection is a deviation from the norm. A pregnant woman often with an ectopic pregnancy observes the appearance of scanty discharge with the expression of severe pain in the lower abdomen.

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 5 weeks, bloody issues appear during physical exertion. Vaginal discharge is not characterized by abundant mucus discharge 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.

Healing activities

If a pregnant woman has discharge brown color it is necessary to conduct therapeutic techniques... As a rule, the formation of a disorder, provoked by physiological changes, is not subjected to therapy, since such symptoms gradually disappear without the influence of medications. In the event that another serious factor acts on the body, urgent measures are required. The specificity of treatment depends on the type of pathological process, severity, stage, and also how the pregnant woman feels. In medical practice, for 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 the type and form, requires due attention. It is possible that a serious illness is hidden under this symptom. 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, drug treatment is carried out, which rather quickly improves the well-being of the pregnant woman. If a woman is bleeding, then hemostatic drugs are prescribed, depending on the cause of the disease. Doctors prescribe medications, guided by the pathological process in the body. Mainly used medications such as:

• progesterones (substances of Duphaston, Utrozhestan);
• giniprala substances;
• antimicrobial drugs;
• 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 been diagnosed with a threat of termination of pregnancy, as well as with an inflammatory disease in a remission period.

Application of operational techniques

There are cases when the formation of pink discharge, as well as if the pregnant woman has a brown spot, require surgery. The operation is mainly performed if the patient has an ectopic pregnancy, an abortion, or polyps in the uterus. Depending on what disease is progressing in the woman's body, they are prescribed:

• conducting laparoscopy;
• lower midline laparotomy;
• remove polyps with a hysteroscope.

It is worth knowing that the formation of a dark brown or scarlet discharge from the genital organ in 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 response 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 7 weeks from the day of the last menstruation or 5 weeks from the day of ovulation (17 day of the cycle). The ultrasound does not show the fetus (it was checked on 4 devices). The doctor advises to do a cleaning, 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's suggestion, I should have been bleeding and I went to the ambulance, but everything turned out to be all right. Not bleeding... I decided to wait a week and a half. If there is even one chance that the pregnancy will not end?

Answers Bosyak Yulia Vasilievna:

Hello Evgenia! 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; with fading, the indicator does not grow 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.

Natalya asks:

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

Answers Palyga Igor Evgenievich:

Hello, Natalia! In this case, infections and weakening of the immune system 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 year, several symptoms have regularly bothered me: severe itching in the external genital area (mainly when I take a shower), discharge (of a different nature - sometimes cheesy with an unpleasant sour smell, or just white-yellow mucous membranes), and also increased pain during menstruation, accompanied by the release of blood clots. Itching occurs 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 bothers for up to a week. Closer to menstruation, the symptoms subside.
I went to the gynecologist. Immediately on examination, he said that I had chronic inflammation of the pelvic organs, that my discharge was not good, it looked like thrush, which was confirmed on a smear. Also the smear showed mixed flora. He sent me to pass 6 tests, all for IgG (!!!):
1) Herpes Simplex Virus 1, 2 types - positive (PI \u003d 16.36) with a norm of PI 2) Cytomegalovirus - positive (C \u003d 141.7) with a norm of C 3) Toxoplasma gondii - negative (C 4) Chlamidia trachomatis - negative (PI \u003d 0.05) with a PI rate of 5) Mycoplasma hominis - negative (PI \u003d 0.27) with a PI rate of 6) Ureaplasma urealyticum - negative (PI \u003d 0.17) with a PI rate I am confused by several points. , it is unclear how only these analyzes can make a reliable conclusion about the state of my health (I have some understanding of the essence of tests for IgG, IgM and PCR). The gynecologist said that based on the results of these tests, he would immediately be able to prescribe me treatment. Secondly, there is a misunderstanding about the reliability of the results. Maybe you can help me understand the meaning of analyzes:
In 2008, 6 months after the onset of sexual activity, I underwent PCR tests for herpes type 1,2, cytomegalovirus, chlamydia, ureaplasmosis, mycoplasmosis, as well as for the human papillomavirus. Only ureaplasma and mycoplasma were positive. I was treated and after 2 months I again passed it for ureaplasma and mycoplasma. The PCR result was negative. The question is as follows:
1) why is IgG for ureaplasma and mycoplasma negative today, if this immune memory should have remained in my body?
2) if the immune memory in the person of IgG specifically for ureaplasma and mycoplasma disappears over the years, then why even 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 take a couple of extra pills." And for me this is very important, because I can hardly stand taking medications (already nausea, heaviness in the abdomen, constipation, small meals 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 delivery, cryopreservation of cervical erosion was performed.
In 2010, in the period of 4-5 weeks of pregnancy, she did an ultrasound scan, which showed signs of postponed bilateral adnexitis with symptoms of adhesive processes in the small pelvis. By 10-12 weeks, Trichomonas was found in me and was treated with injections (Trichomonaden fluorine injection No. 10), arguing with the likelihood of rupture of the membranes. Could I have been cured with these ten injections? A re-examination was not done then in 2010, and a week ago a smear showed the absence of Trichomonas. No other infection was found then. The husband was also treated for Trichomonas.
4 years ago, after delivery, cryopreservation 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!

Answers 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 taking for Ig G, because the presence of Ig G indicates contact with infections in the past and cannot be treated for any (!) values, this is the body's immune memory. Acute infection is evidenced by Ig M and their rapid growth.

Olga asks:

Hello, tell me please went to an ultrasound scan put an ectopic pregnancy in question. I tested for hCG result 63.3 IU / l, which corresponds to 1-3 weeks of pregnancy. Sent to the local gynecologist, she gave me a referral for hospitalization. hurts. Could the diagnosis be wrong? thanks

Answers Bosyak Yulia Vasilievna:

Hello Olga! First, how long is your delay? Secondly, it is necessary to donate blood for hCG over time, every 2 days. With a normally developing pregnancy, the indicator should double. If there is no such progression and the uterine tube is visualized on ultrasound, then the pregnancy is ectopic. All this should be checked in the hospital, where you should go to bed as early as possible. While the term is short, the problem can be solved conservatively. With an increase in the term, there will be a threat to remove the pipe.

Hello, there was bleeding this morning, a little shooting in right side and gives it to the leg. Did an ultrasound: the uterus corresponds to 5-6 weeks, the vulgarity of the uterus is expanded to 8 mm with the presence of shapeless echoinclusions, at the right edge of the uterus there is a rounded formation - a "corolla" of 5 ml of 3 G, then the question is FIRM EGG? And the conclusion is a right-sided tubal pregnancy. I went with the ultrasound to the doctor, he looked at me in the chair, said to take hCG and prete in a week. He says that maybe this is not the WB. It was all this morning, after them I was bleeding like on the 3rd day of the month. Now it seems to have calmed down, but my temperature rose to 37.2.

Explain if everything will be fine with the child, I am very worried! And the uterus is solid! Thanks in advance!

Answers Bosyak Yulia Vasilievna:

Most likely you have a retrochorial hematoma. The fruit cannot be low-lying, because as such, there is still no fetus, but there is an embryo. You should have been prescribed maintenance therapy, bed rest. Further it is necessary to observe the 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 track 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 is found in many. Do not ignore it, you need to contact your doctor.

Main reasons

Not everyone knows why blood began to flow 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 his own vessels that would provide oxygen and nutrient compounds. They are only formed later.

At the beginning of pregnancy, the fetus undergoes organogenesis, when vital organs and systems begin to form. During this time, any minor impacts can cause dangerous consequences.

During 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 there is blood flow at the 5th week of pregnancy, the appearance of bloody spotting may be caused by the successful implantation of the embryo into the uterus and attachment to the wall. This can cause a few drops of blood to appear on your underwear. This symptom can scare many women, especially when they are not yet aware of changes in the body.

At about 5-7 weeks of pregnancy, women go to the hospital, as their periods stop. After being examined by a gynecologist, blood clots may be released. Don't be scared - it goes away after a few days. You just need to give up physical activity.

Intercourse

If there is blood in the 5th week of pregnancy, it may be caused by sexual intercourse. In this case, the vaginal mucosa is damaged. You should not worry, but it is better to choose the most gentle positions during intercourse.

Transvaginal ultrasound

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

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

Bubble drift

A cystic 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 yet established the reasons for this phenomenon. There are no threats to the woman's life, but the fetus is dying.

Ectopic pregnancy

Dangerous pathology. It is accompanied by the appearance of blood at 4-5 weeks of pregnancy. As a rule, it appears in the first 3 months. The most serious complication is rupture of the fallopian tube, where the ovum is located.

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

The peculiarity of an ectopic pregnancy is that the fetus does not attach to the uterine wall, but remains in the canal. Such development of the embryo is not provided for by nature, so that 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. Pain medications are required to reduce it. They are best administered parenterally. Hospitalization is mandatory. Otherwise, serious complications may appear. At the hospital, doctors will remove all parts of the ovum from the fallopian tube. In most cases, you have to remove the entire channel as well.

Frozen pregnancy

Another pathology is a 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 decreases. Sometimes there is severe abdominal discomfort. In addition, body temperature may rise, but not significantly.

Cervical erosion

One of the most common pathologies among women is cervical erosion. This problem even occurs 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 about the presence of cervical erosion during pregnancy. In this case, any therapeutic action may cause bleeding. This applies to both ultrasound and gynecological examination. Also various injuries, infectious diseases, sexual intercourse.

Usually, during pregnancy, when a woman is diagnosed with cervical erosion, expectant tactics are used, which involves limiting possible surgical intervention. If it is completely 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 pre-conception therapy, which is a completely wrong decision.

Due to changes in hormonal levels, polyps can increase in size. A complication is their separation and infection. There is usually bleeding in such situations. Its intensity depends on the size of the detached neoplasm.

Treatment of polyposis is required before getting pregnant, since 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 by varicose 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.

Sexually transmitted diseases

Erosive forms can develop as a result of sexually transmitted diseases. When an exacerbation begins, it is accompanied by bleeding in some cases.

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

Spontaneous abortion

An equally terrible situation is a spontaneous abortion. As a rule, it occurs in a complete happy situation.

The woman feels severe pain in the lower abdomen. She goes to the anal area, thighs. Typically, this pain is extremely severe. A woman can scream and moan because she can't stand it.

If the bleeding is too intense, the patient may faint. Possibly severe dizziness, weakness appears. It is urgent to hospitalize the woman. 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 when the critical days should be. In this case, symptoms often appear that usually occur with menstruation. This applies to back pain, cramps, a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, a feeling of bloatedness, weakness.

Since the woman is pregnant, menstruation does not occur. In this case, hormones prevent secretions from occurring. But in some cases, they still do not have time to reach the maximum rates to stop their periods. 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 a feeling of 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 its cervix. 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 is found in 1 case in 200.

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

Myoma of the uterus

At 5 weeks gestation, bleeding may indicate uterine fibroids. The latter is understood as masses that are made of compacted muscle or fibrous tissue. They can be located both inside the organ 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 in the 5th week of pregnancy. If a woman starts bleeding from the genital tract, then it is imperative to consult a doctor. Usually all patients in this position are advised to hospitalize. This must be done without fail. 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 a possible pathology develops more intensively. Timely treatment is required, so the visit to the doctor should not be delayed.

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

If the bleeding is heavy, a pad should be placed in your underwear that is suitable for normal menstruation. Do not move around the room. The woman should be in a supine position. In this case, her legs should be slightly raised.

When blood clots appear at the 5th week of pregnancy, then you should not swim in the bathroom or go to the shower. Hot water will only aggravate any symptoms that appear. If you feel strong thirst, dry mouth, then you need to drink water. Thanks to this, the condition improves slightly.

Relatives or those people who are next to the woman must prepare her documents at this time, including medical documents. You will need a passport, medical card, compulsory medical insurance policy. When the doctors arrive, they will offer her hospitalization. This is done in most cases. Especially if the 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 there is blood at the 5th week of pregnancy without pain, such symptoms cannot be ignored in any case, since not only the woman's health depends on this, but also the condition of the unborn child. The faster you turn to a specialist, the more chances you have for recovery.

Pregnancy is an important physiological process in every woman's body. Most girls in the first weeks of bearing an embryo do not even assume that they have conceived 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 do 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 discharge at the 5th week of pregnancy and what to do if it occurs? Let's figure it out.

Before you learn about the peculiarities of discharge during pregnancy in the fifth week, you should thoroughly find out what signs indicate the presence of a fetus in a woman's womb during a five-week period.

TO early signs pregnancy include:

• an increase in the body of the uterus in size (you can determine it yourself in front of a mirror);
• increased urination;
• change in taste preferences;
• vomiting;
• morning sickness;
• mild headaches;
• excessive tiredness;
• unreasonable irritability;
• pain in the mammary glands;
• slight increase in body temperature;
• a sharp increase or complete disappearance of libido.

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

Causes of discharge at 5 weeks of gestation

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

There are times when a woman is still having her period in the fifth week of gestation, and at such moments the expectant mother is not yet aware of pregnancy. Many experts argue whether this is really bleeding during menstruation, or whether such discharge is considered a common feature of bearing a fetus. Currently, this phenomenon is called "color pregnancy". This is not considered a deviation, but for complacency and confirmation of pregnancy, you should definitely visit a gynecologist.

The main reasons for the occurrence of discharge at five weeks of pregnancy include:

1. Pathological placental abruption.

If the expectant mother is worried about abundant spotting in the fifth week of pregnancy, found on the 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. Reorganization of hormonal balance.

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

3. Diseases, the etiology of which are genital trauma.

Injuries to the genital tract and cervical erosion can also contribute to the occurrence of discharge. In this case, the color of the secreted secretion can be: brown, light pink and scarlet.

4. Infections of the female reproductive system.

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

bright white;

Cheese, bright white discharge is secreted with a fungal infection of the vagina. The weak immune system of the new mother is not able to prevent the pathogens of the infection, so the addition of the pathogens of thrush does not cause much difficulty. But, unfortunately, to use medications, aggravating the vital activity of the fungus is not desirable, as this can adversely affect the health of the unborn child.

white with a yellowish tinge;

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 the white-yellow discharge is a violation of the microflora of the vagina.

yellow;

If the released fluid has yellow, this means that the vaginal walls are affected by a staphylococcal infection. This is very dangerous for the baby, since when the pathogen enters the body of the uterus and the embryo itself, serious disorders in the development of the child can occur. Yellow discharge at the fifth 5th week of pregnancy, they undergo rapid treatment without complications, subject to an accurate diagnosis and 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, poses a threat to 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

the spread of erosion of the cervix of the uterine organ. If bleeding is detected at the 5th week of pregnancy, urgent consultation with a specialist and possible hospitalization are desirable.

brown.

Brown discharge at 5 weeks of gestation is considered a deviation only when a pregnant woman is tormented by painful sensations in the perineum and lower abdomen, itching and hyperemia in the labia. Such discharge is accompanied by the smell of sweetness, acid and fish.

You should know that profuse discharge can become a threat to the unborn child. In severe cases of illness, many doctors recommend an early termination of pregnancy.

Brown discharge at 5 weeks gestation forces the expectant mother to be vigilant and careful. In the presence of 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 week of pregnancy that is characterized by frequent freezing of the fetus in the womb, this process is reported by abundant brown discharge from the vagina.

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 visit to a gynecologist with this problem, seriously aggravate their health. Thus, the absence of urgent surgical intervention can lead to the death of a pregnant woman.

When you need 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 dischargeon a five-week pregnancy, formed with the presence of a bad smell, pain in the lower abdomen and a deterioration in general condition (fatigue, drowsiness, apathy).
• 2. Thick white, yellow, and greenish discharge, accompanied by noticeable discomfort in the external genital organs.
• 3. Brown discharge in the fifth week of pregnancy, the duration of which is accompanied by short pauses. This phenomenon most often occurs with a frozen pregnancy.
• 4. Profuse light brown discharge report the presence of the embryo in the fallopian tube.

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

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

During an examination on a gynecological chair, the doctor takes a certain amount of biological material (epithelial cells and mucus secreted by the vagina) to identify the causative agent of a possible infection. Further, the collected material is planted on a nutrient medium and kept at a warm temperature for a certain time. With the active growth of microorganisms, it is possible to accurately determine the presence of a disease in a pregnant patient. In some cases, the pathogen is identified by staining the material with special diagnostic dyes.

4. Ultrasound diagnostics of the reproductive organs of a pregnant girl.
