Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
It is my first pregnancy and I have been bleeding for the last four months. I consulted my doctor and she gave me medicines in order to stop the bleeding, but it is not stopping. There is some light spots. Please suggest.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The sonography report that you have attached (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity) shows that the baby is developing and the fetal heart is also normal. The other parameters like the placenta have to be checked by your gynecologist. In such cases, complete bed rest is important apart from certain medicines that have to be taken for the development of the baby and to stop the bleeding. Normally a blood clot forms inside the placenta, which leads to slow spotting: this part is not being mentioned, and you should consult your gynecologist. Feel free for any other queries.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thank you so much, doctor. I have consulted my gynecologist. She prescribed some medicines, and I am using them. But still, whenever I go to the washroom, there is some light bleeding. I am so worried.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
The repeat scan shows a normal heartbeat of the baby and a normally developing placenta, so there is no need to worry. Tablet Duphaston is taken for the development of the growing baby. Have plenty of juices and fruits in your diet. Continue treatment suggested by your gynecologist. Please get a follow-up scan after seven days and revert with the reports.
Thank you.

Hello doctor,
I am attaching a picture of the bleeding. I am worried doctor.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I have seen the file (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). In my opinion, the bleeding is becoming less day by day. It is just spotting, which usually clears within a week. Continue with the medicines that your gynecologist has prescribed you. Also, continue with bed rest with the same diet. Please get a USG (ultrasound) done after seven weeks. Feel free for any other queries
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Today I went and came to the hospital and done with scanning. I am attaching the reports for your reference. Kindly check it and let me know the baby's condition. Also, I wanted to know whether the placenta’s position is fine and whether it is right or left.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have seen the file (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). The baby is growing normally. The fluid inside your uterus is also normal and the placenta positioning at present is also normal. You have not mentioned whether your bleeding has stopped or not. I suggest you continue with the medicines that your gynecologist has prescribed. Feel free to ask any other queries.
Thank you.
