Question: I have a really bad headache (it has been there for a month) - heavy pressure dull pain. Today I feel nauseous too (but no vomiting). Every time I pass urine there is this plasma in the urine (however, no foul smell or cloudy urine) this has been happening for 3 - 4 days now... I was diagnosed to be pregnant a week ago but in a recent scan 2 days ago and yesterday they could not see anything in the uterus or tubes. a recent HCG report showed 160 beta HCG count...
Brief Answer:
MISCARRIAGE LIKELY
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Can you tell me when was your last period ?
Also, the normal pattern of your menstrual cycles please ?
The B HCG report has to be corelated with the days of gestation, hence I am requesting the details.
Also, can you upload the scans that are done so far ?
Based on the limited information provided, it appears that you have had a miscarriage spontaneously.
A rare diagnosis is an ectopic pregnancy, but that generally shows up on a scan.
That would explain the nausea .
Cloudiness in urine and headaches are also common in early pregnancy.
If the headache is unrelenting , you should consult a Neurologist for a detailed evaluation .
A complete urine examination ( routine microscopy plus culture ) also should be done.
Do write back with more details.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.
last period start date 23rd January 2014
normally a 28 day regular cycle
The urine is not cloudy at all just has this plasma like pieces and sometimes small plasma like lump
will send the reports shortly
Brief Answer:
NO CHANCE OF A PREGNANCY.
Detailed Answer:
Your ultrasound scan is absolutely normal.
There is no question of a pregnancy here.
So dont worry.
Get a complete urine examination done.
Can you tell me the dates of the B HCG reports and the corresponding values ?
I can then corelate it with the ultrasound scan.
Take care.
Brief Answer:
AS BELOW
Detailed Answer:
I am certain you underwent a miscarriage / chemical pregnancy.
Please repeat the B HCG test, which by now would show a drastic fall.
Thank you doctor. What baffles me though is that I am not having any bleeding otherwise. Just the plasma/ blood clot ( sometimes the size of an almond sometimes just like dust) when I pass urine. No pain (by the grace of god) in the abdomen. Isn't miscarriage supposed to accompanied with heavy bleeding and pain ? I will do Hcg test today.
Brief Answer:
AS BELOW
Detailed Answer:
Pain and heavy bleeding is not always the norm.
Early pregnancy miscarriages are often silent.
ANd you did have bleeding / passage of blood clots, and the HCG levels clearly point to a miscarriage.
A repeat value will confirm.
