What are the chances of an ectopic pregnancy?

Ectopic pregnancy is of special concern to every expectant mother of childbearing age. It is extremely harmful to women and in severe cases may lead to inability to conceive again. Every year, many women lose their right to be mothers due to ectopic pregnancy, resulting in inability to conceive again. Women have a lot of gynecological diseases, and women's health cannot be ignored, especially for expectant mothers who are preparing to become pregnant. In order to reduce the chance of ectopic pregnancy, prenatal examinations must be done before preparing for pregnancy. Let's understand the probability of ectopic pregnancy.

An abnormal pregnancy process in which the fertilized egg implants and develops outside the uterine cavity. Also called "ectopic pregnancy". The most common type of pregnancy is tubal pregnancy. The cause of the disease is often due to inflammation in the fallopian tube lumen or its surroundings, which causes poor patency of the lumen, hindering the normal operation of the fertilized egg, causing it to stay, implant, and develop in the fallopian tube, leading to miscarriage or rupture of the fallopian tube pregnancy. There are often no obvious symptoms before miscarriage or rupture, but there may also be amenorrhea, abdominal pain, and a small amount of vaginal bleeding. After rupture, symptoms include acute and severe abdominal pain, repeated attacks, vaginal bleeding, and even shock. Examination often shows signs of intra-abdominal bleeding and a mass next to the uterus. Ultrasound examination can assist in diagnosis. Treatment is mainly surgical. While correcting shock, laparotomy and removal of the diseased fallopian tube are performed. If you want to preserve your fertility, you can also cut the fallopian tube and remove the fertilized egg.

Ectopic pregnancy is very common, accounting for 3-5% of pregnant women. It is very dangerous. If you do not pay attention to early detection and treatment of symptoms, it may endanger the life of the woman with ectopic pregnancy.

How does ectopic pregnancy occur? A doctor humorously told reporters that ectopic pregnancy is actually a fertilized egg that has lost its way.

According to reports, the so-called ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, also known as ectopic pregnancy. In layman's terms, the fertilized egg finds the wrong place to stay and mistakenly stays outside the uterus to implant and develop. The most common ectopic pregnancy is the fallopian tube pregnancy, which accounts for about 90% of ectopic pregnancies.

There are many causes of tubal pregnancy, but salpingitis is the most common one. According to statistics, about 60% of patients with ectopic pregnancy have a history of salpingitis. Recurrent episodes of chronic salpingitis cause wrinkles and adhesions in the fallopian tube mucosa, narrowing of the lumen, or twisting of the fallopian tube due to adhesions to the surrounding tissues due to inflammation, making it unable to move normally. The "unevenness" and "blockage" of the internal environment of the fallopian tube hinder the normal operation of the fertilized egg, causing the fertilized egg to encounter many obstacles on the way to the uterus, so that it cannot reach the uterine cavity as expected and implant in the fallopian tube. After implantation, the fertilized egg continues to develop and grow, but the narrow and long fallopian tube cannot provide enough space. Therefore, when the fertilized egg develops to a certain extent, it will burst the fallopian tube, causing heavy bleeding in the patient and endangering his life.

Another common cause is a wandering egg. The human body has two ovaries and two fallopian tubes. Some "disobedient" eggs are ovulated in one ovary, but after fertilization they pass through the uterine cavity or abdominal cavity and run into the fallopian tube on the other side. As the fertilized egg gradually grows larger during the "escape" process, it cannot pass through the fallopian tube normally and has to implant in the fallopian tube, thus causing a tubal pregnancy.

Conceiving a baby is a wonderful thing, and the baby is the fruit of love between two people. Every mother who is preparing for pregnancy is particularly worried about the probability of ectopic pregnancy. In fact, as long as mothers who are preparing for pregnancy do pre-pregnancy check-ups in time and keep a happy mood, they will definitely have a healthy baby.

The ovary releases an egg, but after fertilization it passes through the uterine cavity or abdominal cavity and enters the fallopian tube on the other side. As the fertilized egg gradually grows larger during the "escape" process, it cannot pass through the fallopian tube normally and has to implant in the fallopian tube, thus causing a tubal pregnancy.
