Hello,
With the question “Is gestational sac bleeding dangerous and how to fix it? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
gestational sac bleeding occurs when the placenta separates from the uterine lining instead of being attached as usual. The placenta plays an important role in providing nutrients and oxygen from the mother's body to the fetus, and at the same time transporting waste from the fetus to the mother's body. Therefore, if the gestational sac is bleeding, it will interfere with the circulation between the mother and the fetus, preventing the fetus from receiving nutrients to maintain life from the mother.
If gestational sac bleeding does not increase and does not cause much blood loss, it will not affect the health of mother and baby. In contrast, the increased bleeding of the gestational sac, the mother will be anemic, the possibility of miscarriage is higher.
According to the latest recommendations, it is not necessary to treat pregnancy with hormonal drugs. During this time, you still eat normally, take synthetic supplements, iron tablets, folic acid, exercise gently, avoid heavy work. Go to the hospital for a follow-up after 1 week of monitoring or have any symptoms of abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding...
If you still have questions about gestational sac bleeding, you can go to the hospital under the Health System. Vinmec to check and advise further. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
