Is vaginal pressure normal in a five weeks pregnant woman?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am five weeks pregnant. I have mild cramping in my lower abdomen and no other symptoms. Sometimes. I feel vaginal pressure like menstruation. Do I have any problem, or is it normal? Please advise me on what to do.

Answered by Dr. Prabha Ranjan

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your history and understand your concern. Such symptoms within five weeks of pregnancy are not normal and not a very good sign too. Do the following:

  1. Take proper rest.
  2. Avoid sexual intercourse.
  3. Avoid heavy work.
  4. Go for an ultrasound if possible.
  5. Watch for bleeding through the vagina.
  6. I suggest taking ake Folic acid supplements regularly.
  7. Take Progesterone supplements like Susten SR 200 mg twice daily.
  8. Injection Proluton Depot (Hydroxyprogesterone) 500mg or hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) 5000 mg weekly.
  9. Follow with weekly ultrasound.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

My doctor prescribed me folic acid and Metformin. Also, she gave an appointment in the sixth week for an ultrasound. I do not have any vaginal bleeding. These two symptoms come on and off. Suggest the alarming symptom for which I should go to the doctor. Is there any risk even though there is no vaginal bleeding? Can you tell me what the cause of this is?

Answered by Dr. Prabha Ranjan

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The alarming symptom is pain in the lower abdomen with vaginal bleeding. It does not necessarily it will lead to complications, and your symptoms may subside soon. So, do not panic but be careful and attend your doctor if the intensity of pain increases or bleeding occurs. If there is no bleeding, then there is no problem.
