What Causes Vaginal Spotting During Pregnancy?
Brief Answer:
possible threatened miscarriage
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
Any bleeding even in form of spotting or altered blood from vagina during early pregnancy is termed a s threatened abortion unless proved otherwise. It is likely that following oral stimulation and uterine contraction during orgasm there may have been some placental separation which caused the bleeding. It is important that you should get a ultrasound pelvis especially a transvaginal ultrasound to rule out any placental separation and retroplacental clot formation and an ongoing bleed and also to check foetal well being. If the foetal heart rate is normal then you would be advised to be on complete bed rest till bleeding stops and should be started on progesterone support till next 4 weeks.
Please get the ultrasound done.
Regards
