What happens when bleeding occurs during an ectopic pregnancy?

In a normal pregnancy, the fertilized egg should implant inside the uterine cavity. But sometimes, the fertilized egg may implant in the fallopian tube, abdominal cavity, ovary, or cervix, etc., outside the uterus. This is medically known as ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy in which the fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tube is what we usually call an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is very dangerous. Let's take a look at what causes ectopic pregnancy bleeding.

What causes bleeding during ectopic pregnancy? When the fetus grows slowly in the fallopian tube day by day, there is not enough space outside the uterus for it to develop. Then it will cause the fallopian tube to rupture and cause ectopic pregnancy bleeding. Once the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy bleeding occur, the consequences will be disastrous. When ectopic pregnancy ruptures and bleeds, there will be a tearing pain, and the blood is bright red, not like menstrual blood.

Ectopic pregnancy bleeding must be checked and treated in the hospital in time, otherwise it will endanger the patient's life. Patient and meticulous care is the prerequisite to ensure the patient's recovery. For example, proper positioning of the patient, reasonable oxygen supply, rapid fluid and blood transfusion, the use of vasoactive drugs, and timely preparation for surgery are effective measures for successful rescue. It is very important nursing measures to closely observe the condition of the patient, keep various channels unobstructed, closely cooperate with doctors to conduct various examinations, comfort family members and patients and provide timely psychological care.

Surgery can also be used to treat ectopic pregnancy. The treatment principle of fallopian tube pregnancy is mainly surgical treatment, and surgery should generally be performed after the diagnosis is confirmed. The surgical method generally adopts total salpingectomy. Those who require sterilization can perform ligation at the same time. Young women who want to have children and whose contralateral fallopian tube has been removed or has obvious lesions can undergo conservative surgery to preserve the fallopian tube and its function.

Ectopic pregnancy itself is very dangerous. When a woman finds out that she is pregnant, she should go to the hospital for examination in time to rule out ectopic pregnancy. When bleeding occurs due to ectopic pregnancy, it means the situation is very serious. I hope that all female friends will pay attention to prevent accidents. It will always be reassuring to eliminate these accidents in advance.
