How to abort an ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy is something that every woman of childbearing age does not want to see. Although it is also pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy is a very dangerous one. It is an ectopic pregnancy, which means that the embryo develops and grows outside the uterus, causing nearby tissues to rupture and bleed, inducing serious life safety risks, etc. Ectopic pregnancy cannot develop to maturity, so it needs to be removed artificially. Let’s take a look at how to abort an ectopic pregnancy safely?

Ectopic pregnancy is not the same as ordinary pregnancy. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, it is an ectopic pregnancy that grows outside the uterus and cannot be aborted. Ectopic pregnancy is a gynecological emergency. Not only can the fetus fail to develop normally, but it can also put the mother's life in danger. More than 90% of ectopic pregnancies occur in the fallopian tubes, but can also occur in the ovaries, cervix, and even the abdominal cavity.

Because the fallopian tubes and ovaries are not as strong and elastic as the uterus, when the embryo grows to a certain size, it will rupture the surrounding tissues, causing abdominal pain and heavy bleeding, and ectopic pregnancy rupture, and the patient's life will be in danger within a short period of time. If you find out that you are pregnant, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to determine whether it is a normal pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, you should receive treatment according to your doctor's advice. The treatment of ectopic pregnancy is mainly surgical treatment, which should generally be performed after the diagnosis is confirmed. The surgery usually requires the removal of all fallopian tubes. If sterilization is desired, the contralateral fallopian tube can be tied at the same time. For young women who want to have children, if the contralateral fallopian tube has been removed or has obvious lesions, conservative surgery can be performed to preserve the fallopian tube and its function.

Once an ectopic pregnancy is diagnosed, surgical treatment should be performed immediately, including:

(1) Total salpingectomy.

(2) Young women who wish to have children undergo conservative surgery, which involves cutting the fallopian tube, removing the embryo, and then suturing the area to preserve the function of the fallopian tube.

(3) Those who wish to be sterilized can have the contralateral fallopian tube tied at the same time.

Prevention and care

Patients in the acute bleeding stage should absolutely stay in bed and rest, and replenish blood in time.

Lie flat on your back, reduce movements that increase abdominal pressure, and avoid moving or pressing the abdomen.
