What causes week-long pregnancy bleeding?

Hello 

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query

1. Possible Causes:

Bleeding in early pregnancy can have various causes. It could be implantation bleeding, which occurs when the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine lining. However, if the bleeding is accompanied by abdominal pains or cramps, it might indicate a threatened miscarriage.

2. Advice on Seeking Medical Attention:

It is strongly advisable to visit your nearest emergency department for a blood test and examination if the bleeding is heavy. Alternatively, if it's just spotting without pain, booking an appointment with your early pregnancy clinic or scheduling an online appointment for telecommunication would be appropriate.

Thanks
