Can we Predict Fate of Bleeding in Early Pregnancy?, RADWA FAHMI
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate whether using the physical exam-ination, history and Ultrasound scan, we can make a diagnosis of the etiology of first trimester vaginal bleeding.
Design: Prospective clinical trial. Setting: Tertiary referral center.
Patients and Methods: One hundred women with bleeding in early pregnancy were recruited and followed-up. History taking and examination were done then transvaginal ultrasound was done to evaluate pregnancy condition. Women were managed according to their status.
Results: There was no correlation between severity of bleeding, colics, or gestational age and diagnosis of the cause of bleeding in early pregnancy.
Conclusion: We were not able to reach any prediction for early pregnancy loss but we can only minimize the maternal morbidity and mortality by the proper management of the cases.
