Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I tested positive for pregnancy on January 14th, but today I noticed some spotting and I'm experiencing stomach pain. Am I still pregnant, or should I be concerned?

Hello,

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

 

Based on your symptoms, it seems you may be experiencing a threatened miscarriage, which requires immediate attention. I recommend you visit a healthcare facility as soon as possible for a scan, blood tests, and urine tests. Depending on the results, medication to calm the uterus may be prescribed. It's important to monitor the bleeding, as if it increases, it could become a more serious situation. Please seek medical care promptly.

 

Thanks
