Pregnancy-related uterine bleeding may be a sign of threatened miscarriage. Threatened miscarriage refers to light vaginal bleeding occurring before 28 weeks of pregnancy, followed by episodic lower abdominal pain or back pain. On vaginal examination, the cervical os is closed, the fetal membranes are intact, no pregnancy tissue has been expelled, and the uterus size corresponds to the gestational age. If symptoms are severe, it is important to seek timely medical care at a hospital to prevent miscarriage.
