Have a query?

My wife has been taking Pause 500 mg twice a day, but her bleeding hasn't stopped after three days. Is this normal?

Asked by Female, 28 · 1 month ago

After three days of using Pause 500 mg, bleeding is not deemed normal and requires a medical evaluation if it has not decreased. To check for hormonal imbalance, fibroids, infection, or other causes and to modify medication, she should visit a gynecologist right away.

Encourage your wife to contact her healthcare provider as soon as possible. If bleeding is heavy or accompanied by dizziness or weakness, seek emergency care immediately.

After bleeding from subchorionic hematoma and passing a huge clot, doctor put me on tranexamic acid + progesterone (oral + vaginal + injection) the bleeding started at six weeks + 4 and stopped after few days but still there are brown/yellow discharge. baby is good and the hematoma is shrinking. But now two weeks still I’m on tranexamic acid and progesterone. Will using tranexamic acid for this long period cause any harm to the baby.

Using tranexamic acid for two weeks during early pregnancy is generally considered with caution, but current evidence does not strongly indicate harm to the baby when used under medical supervision for bleeding control like in your case.

🩺 Your Current Situation

  • You have a subchorionic hematoma with bleeding that has stopped, and your baby is doing well with the hematoma shrinking.
  • Brown/yellow discharge can be common after bleeding episodes but should be monitored.

⚕️ Safety of Tranexamic Acid in Early Pregnancy

  • Tranexamic acid is an anti-fibrinolytic used to reduce bleeding by helping blood clots stabilize.
  • It is typically prescribed short-term; prolonged use is less common but sometimes necessary in cases like yours.
  • Available data do not show clear evidence of harm to the fetus when used carefully, but long-term safety data in pregnancy are limited.

🩺 Recommendations

  • Continue following your doctor’s advice closely.
  • Report any new bleeding, pain, fever, or changes in discharge promptly.
  • Regular ultrasound monitoring of the hematoma and fetal well-being is important.
  • Discuss with your obstetrician the duration of tranexamic acid therapy and any concerns about risks versus benefits.

It is best to keep in close contact with your obstetrician (specialist in pregnancy care) who can tailor treatment and monitoring to your specific situation. If you want, I can explain more about how tranexamic acid works or what signs to watch for.
