Specific methods to rule out ectopic pregnancy

I believe everyone is familiar with the disease of ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is a common gynecological disease. The harm of ectopic pregnancy is very great, so we suggest that female friends must pay attention to this symptom in daily life. Once the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy appear, we must actively seek treatment to avoid the deterioration of the disease and bring greater difficulty to the treatment. Below we will introduce to female friends the specific methods to rule out ectopic pregnancy.

The vast majority of ectopic pregnancies occur in the fallopian tube, accounting for 97.7%; 1.4% occur in the abdomen; and less than 1% occur in the ovaries and cervix. The vast majority of tubal pregnancies occur in the ampulla of the fallopian tube, 12% in the isthmus, and 5% in the fimbria. There are also cases that occur in the opposite fallopian tube, but this is rare. Ectopic pregnancy does not happen for no reason. The main cause is fallopian tube inflammation. Histological examination shows that 40% of patients have fallopian tube inflammation! The second is abnormal or dysplastic fallopian tubes, which are slender, curved, or compressed or pulled by tumors on the ovaries and uterus, causing the fallopian tubes to shift or deform, thus affecting the passage of the fertilized egg!

Other causes include fallopian tube surgery, smoking during pregnancy, failure of tubal ligation, use of diethylstilbestrol (DES), etc. Therefore, as long as you do not have the above conditions, you do not have to worry about ectopic pregnancy. Even if an ectopic pregnancy has already occurred, the risk of another ectopic pregnancy is only between 7% and 15%. However, except for patients with a history of pelvic infectious diseases (salpingitis), the risk of ectopic pregnancy in women who use oral hormones for a long time for contraception and use intrauterine contraceptive devices is 1% and 5%, respectively. So those of you who have been taking contraceptive pills for a long time, you should be fully aware of the dangers!"

The sooner an ectopic pregnancy is ruled out, the better! In the beginning you can only rely on your own feelings. Abdominal pain is almost the most common symptom of ectopic pregnancy. Before the fallopian tube ruptures, there are no obvious symptoms, but some patients have dull pain on one side of the lower abdomen. When the fallopian tube pregnancy miscarries or ruptures, they will suddenly feel tearing or paroxysmal pain on one side of the lower abdomen. Abdominal pain is caused by the separation of the villi from the fallopian tube wall or the rupture of the fallopian tube wall, which causes intraperitoneal bleeding and stimulates the peritoneum!

According to statistics, more than 90% of patients have abdominal pain, and 25% of patients experience shoulder pain at the same time. Therefore, when you feel abdominal pain and shoulder pain at the same time, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy is very high! The abdominal diaphragm is stimulated by blood and can cause radiating pain in the shoulder. When blood accumulates in the rectouterine pit, it may manifest as anal prolapse and a feeling of defecation. This symptom is a unique manifestation of pelvic blood accumulation and is of great significance for the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy.

Therefore, everyone must remember that even if you feel pain, you must carefully distinguish the differences between them. If you feel shoulder pain at the same time as abdominal pain, or have a lingering feeling of defecation, then you should go to the hospital for a check-up immediately. Most patients with ectopic pregnancy experience abdominal pain and irregular vaginal spotting. The amount of bleeding is less than the menstrual volume and the blood is dark red. The reason is that the endometrium falls off due to lack of endocrine support. Another reason is that bleeding in the fallopian tube is discharged through the uterine cavity to the vagina. This is another characteristic of ectopic pregnancy, which is significantly different from the commonly referred to "off-get off work phenomenon" and should be distinguished when making self-judgment. Never mistake the "off-duty phenomenon" for an ectopic pregnancy.

In the above article, we introduced a common gynecological disease, that is, ectopic pregnancy. We know that the harm of ectopic pregnancy is very large, so everyone must pay attention to this disease. The above article introduces in detail the specific methods to rule out ectopic pregnancy. I hope it can bring some help to everyone.
