Treatment for Threatened Abortion and Fetal Disturbance During Pregnancy
Threatened Abortion and Fetal Disturbance During Pregnancy
Threatened abortion refers to light vaginal bleeding during pregnancy that occurs intermittently, followed by lower back pain and abdominal discomfort; fetal disturbance refers to lower back pain and abdominal heaviness or mild vaginal bleeding during pregnancy. Both conditions often precede miscarriage and are known in modern medicine as "threatened abortion."
The causes of this condition in the mother include constitutional weakness and insufficient kidney qi, excessive sexual activity damaging kidney essence, blood and qi deficiency, heat disturbing the fetus, or concurrent illness after conception interfering with fetal development. In terms of fetal qi, it arises from inadequate vital energy between husband and wife, where although the sperm and egg unite, the fetus remains unstable, leading to threatened abortion and fetal disturbance. Common clinical folk remedies for treating threatened abortion and fetal disturbance are as follows.
