Many have heard about women who have continued monthly during pregnancy. It seems that these stories are passed from generation to generation and have become almost legendary. Every woman seems to have a friend who has a friend whose pregnancy was menstruating.

Many women during pregnancy are episodes of bleeding and spotting Bloody issues Discharges in women when there is cause for concern   - It is important to rule out pathology . Hemorrhage is particularly common in the first trimester of pregnancy, and about thirty percent of pregnant women experience bleeding in this period. Although pregnant women rarer bleeding during the second and third trimesters, bleeding is still possible, and there are not so rare. However, although the bleeding may resemble menstruation, in fact it is something else entirely.

Why during pregnancy can not be menstruating

Menstruation caused by the menstrual cycle. During this cycle, the female body produces hormones that send signals to the reproductive organs to perform certain actions. Increasing the amount of hormones causes the ovaries to release an egg, which is moving from the ovaries through the fallopian tubes. Meanwhile, the protective layer from the blood and tissues along the wall of the uterus thickens. If the egg is not fertilized, the level of hormones decreases, signaling the body that it is time to tear away this layer, which was formed in the womb. All this is the cause menstruation.

During pregnancy, the body is completely focused on the development of the baby. The brain sends a signal to the ovaries to stop the menstrual cycle Menstrual cycle and its characteristics In order to ensure the child the right conditions for growth. As a result, instead of falling, the hormone levels will continue to rise over the next nine months. It helps the uterus to prepare for the growth and nutrition of the child.

If during pregnancy continued regular menses, the body would be lost every month the endometrium, which helps to feed the child. Biologically speaking, it does not make much sense. Thus, spotting or bleeding experienced by many women during pregnancy, caused by something else, but not menstruation.

Decidua Bleeding

One of the most common causes of bleeding similar to menstruation, during pregnancy, is the so-called decidua bleeding. Sometimes during pregnancy can occur in the body hormonal disorders Hormonal disorders - oversupply and a lack of equally dangerous Which leads to a partial loss of the uterine mucosa. This phenomenon is particularly common in the early stages of pregnancy, before the shell is securely fastened to the placenta.

The problem is that during pregnancy there are two physiological processes worsening condition of the gastrointestinal tract. The first process - is the impact on the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract of the main pregnancy hormone - progesterone Progesterone - norm and pathology . Progesterone inhibits motor activity of muscles. It is its side effects, and the main objective is to reduce progestrona motor activity of muscles of the uterus, ie the prevention of miscarriage Miscarriage - can you protect yourself from it?   or premature labor. But the nerve endings that are appropriate to the abdominal organs and pelvis come from a single source, so the impact on the muscles of the uterus muscles is reflected in other organs. As a result of such exposure in the intestine begins to stagnate food, re-absorbed into the bloodstream from the intestines of some toxic products of metabolism. All this is a violation of the intestine in the form of constant constipation, bloating (flatulence) and general intoxication. In the second half of pregnancy to all these problems is joined congestion in the veins of the rectum and hemorrhoids, which are amplified against the backdrop of constipation.

The second process, which exacerbates all the problems with the gastrointestinal tract of a pregnant woman - a decrease in immunity. Immunity is reduced to the body does not "throw" the growing fetus as a foreign element. But at the same time, decreased immunity fraught with a variety of infections, including those of the gastrointestinal tract, "raises its head" and is actively developing opportunistic and pathogenic microflora growth which normally inhibits the normal intestinal microflora.

Enteric capsule, which encloses the drug allows to deliver it directly to your destination - the intestine, where the capsule dissolves and the gut a pregnant woman rather quickly populated with new colonies of beneficial bacteria. This bacteria not only multiply and close opportunistic pathogens, but also produce special substances (lactic and acetic acid) that change the acidity of the intestine, thereby to conditionally pathogenic extremely uncomfortable conditions (these bacteria like alkaline).

The results of applying bifiform

As a result of inhibiting the activity of pathogenic microflora food begins to decompose properly, without isolation of large amounts of gas and it is better to move through the intestines, ie are constipation and flatulence, and with them, and intestinal colic. Establishing chair leads to the improvement of the rectum: in her veins is reduced congestion and thrombosis, and therefore diminish and the phenomenon of hemorrhoids.

Tidying intestine frees him from the wall mucus, metabolic products and stagnant feces that activates the immune system and reduces the risk of pregnant women infectious and inflammatory diseases. Most of these diseases occur in the kidneys and urinary tract. So welcome bifiform of course is the prevention of cystitis and pyelonephritis.

It also prevents the exacerbation of allergic diseases such as asthma, in which the condition of the intestine is of great importance.
