Sidarth Hospitals is one of the best hospitals for Gynaecology and Obstetrics treatment.

If you are facing any of the following symptoms, you must show yourself to a gynaecologist.

• Irregular periods
• Chronic pelvic pain
• Painful intercourse
• Bleeding during intercourse
• Lumps or bumps in the vaginal region
• Infertility or not able to conceive/not able to get pregnant
• Irregular discharge

The above-mentioned symptoms may not seem very serious at a cursory look. However, they may be signs of a more severe underlying condition. Depending on the condition of the patient, the gynaecologist will offer a diagnosis, or suggest further procedures like an ultrasound scan, hysteroscopy, or a colposcopy.

Many women experience vaginal bleeding or spotting during pregnancy. This is a common symptom for many conditions and problems, some of which may be serious. There may be cause for concern depending on how much blood you’re passing, how far along you are in your pregnancy, and whether you have any other symptoms or pain.

Keep reading to learn more about some of the most common conditions that cause bleeding during pregnancy. If you are concerned about any symptoms, call your health care provider. You may be asked to come in for blood tests or an ultrasound. Your doctor may or may not be able to diagnose a cause for the bleeding.

Miscarriage is fairly common, occurring in up to 20% of pregnancies. Miscarriages are most likely to occur in the first 13 weeks of pregnancy, but they can occur as late as 20 weeks. Symptoms of a miscarriage include:

• Vaginal bleeding
• Passing tissue through the vagina
• Strong cramping

If you’re experiencing vaginal bleeding with no cramping or only light cramping, you’re likely not miscarrying. The bleeding may very well stop on its own while the pregnancy continues.

If you believe you’ve miscarried, make an appointment with your healthcare provider. If there is some tissue left in your uterus after a miscarriage, it will need to be expelled or removed. Your doctor can prescribe medication to help your body expel the tissue. Tissue can also be removed with a procedure called dilation and curettage, or D&C. This is when your doctor dilates your cervix and scrapes tissue out of your uterus with a special spoon-shaped instrument. Suction can also be used instead of, or in addition to, the curette.

Heavy bleeding late in pregnancy usually indicates a complication with the placenta. This requires medical treatment. The two most common complications are:

• Placenta previa. This is when the placenta has developed at the bottom of the uterus, covering the cervix. This usually does not cause any pain, but can cause vaginal bleeding.
• Placental abruption. In most pregnancies, the placenta is connected to the uterine wall. If it becomes disconnected, either before or during labor, it can disrupt circulation to the baby. Vaginal bleeding is sometimes present, but more often it will cause abdominal pain
