How long does it take to abort an ectopic pregnancy?

An ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilized egg does not implant in the correct position. In this case, the only way to terminate the pregnancy is through surgery. Because the longer the time, the larger the fertilized egg will be, which may cause the fallopian tube to rupture. In severe cases, the fallopian tube may need to be removed, so the earlier the treatment, the better. How long does it take to have an abortion in an ectopic pregnancy? If you find that you may have an ectopic pregnancy, you must go to a regular hospital for diagnosis, and then follow the doctor's instructions for surgery as soon as possible.

1. What to do if you have an ectopic pregnancy

1. Traditional drug conservative treatment of ectopic pregnancy.

Conservative drug treatment is a treatment method for early ectopic pregnancy, and it should also be divided into suitable populations. Conservative drug treatment is suitable for people whose fallopian tube has not ruptured, whose tubal pregnancy mass is less than 3cm in diameter, who have no obvious internal bleeding, and whose blood HCG is less than 2000U/L. This treatment method causes less harm to patients, but the killed embryos are polarized in situ, which can easily cause blockage of the fallopian tubes and affect fertility. Therefore, female patients should use it with caution, especially those who want to have children should not try this method lightly.

2. Fallopian tube fenestration and suture to treat ectopic pregnancy.

When the fallopian tube is not ruptured or the rupture is small, hysteroscopy can be used. First, the fallopian tube is cut open to remove the embryo, and then it is sutured to maintain the function of the fallopian tube. Hysteroscopic and laparoscopic surgery can reduce the risks of surgery. It is painless, does not bleed, heals quickly, and leaves no scars. It greatly reduces the recurrence rate of the disease and is the best treatment for ectopic pregnancy currently advocated. Laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery is a minimally invasive surgery for ectopic pregnancy that preserves fertility to the greatest extent possible, allowing patients to rekindle their hope of having a child.

3. Salpingectomy is used to treat ectopic pregnancy.

Salpingectomy is generally performed for ectopic pregnancy with severe fallopian tube rupture that is difficult to repair and accompanied by symptoms of hemorrhagic shock. The only option is to remove the fallopian tube on the affected side.

After learning some knowledge about ectopic pregnancy, pregnant mothers must be highly vigilant about this dangerous acute abdomen. Through the above introduction, ectopic pregnancy does not necessarily require fallopian tube removal. If a female friend has symptoms of ectopic pregnancy, she should seek treatment in time and try to minimize the damage.

What are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

2. The most common causes of ectopic pregnancy are salpingitis and adhesions, such as chronic salpingitis, tuberculosis, endometriosis, etc. The early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Abdominal pain: The main symptoms are pain in the lower abdomen, a feeling of defecation, sometimes severe pain, accompanied by cold sweat. If rupture occurs, the patient will suddenly feel a tearing pain on one side of the lower abdomen, accompanied by nausea and vomiting.

Ectopic pregnancy seriously affects the body of the pregnant woman and the baby in her belly

2. Amenorrhea: This early symptom of ectopic pregnancy can easily be confused with normal early pregnancy symptoms. If a pregnant woman has amenorrhea and pregnancy symptoms for a short period of time, she may also experience lower abdominal pain on one side. Sometimes, examination may reveal that the fallopian tube is normal and enlarged.

3. Vaginal bleeding: Women with ectopic pregnancy will have a small amount of vaginal bleeding. In addition, they should also prevent threatened abortion.

4. Syncope and shock: Many patients may suffer from decreased blood volume or severe abdominal pain due to acute intra-abdominal bleeding. Mild cases may experience syncope, while severe cases may suffer from shock, which is life-threatening.
