How many days will abdominal pain occur in ectopic pregnancy

When it comes to ectopic pregnancy, I believe everyone is familiar with it. A normal embryo often grows and develops in the woman's uterus, but when there is inflammation in the woman's fallopian tubes, it may cause the egg to implant outside the uterus, causing the embryo to develop outside the uterus, which is what we often call an ectopic pregnancy. When an ectopic pregnancy occurs, if it is not treated in time, there is even the possibility of symptoms such as uterine rupture and blood loss shock. So how many days after an ectopic pregnancy does a patient experience abdominal pain?

The location of ectopic pregnancy is not fixed. Depending on the location of the disease, the time when pain is felt is also different. Ectopic pregnancy occurs about 40-50 days after amenorrhea (counted from the first day of the last menstruation). Some patients have chronic lower abdominal pain that lasts for a long time, which is an abortion-type ectopic pregnancy. Other patients have sudden and severe abdominal pain, which is an ectopic pregnancy rupture. There is a risk of heavy bleeding and you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

95% of ectopic pregnancies occur in the fallopian tubes, mainly due to problems with the fallopian tubes. If the normal movement of the fertilized egg to the uterus is delayed or prevented due to various reasons, the fertilized egg is blocked in the fallopian tube, which may lead to an ectopic pregnancy. There are many options for the treatment of ectopic pregnancy, which depends on the desire for fertility, the size and location of the ectopic pregnancy and the patient's physical condition. For those who are infertile, the fertility can be preserved to the maximum extent possible while saving the patient's life.

There is no non-invasive method for diagnosing ectopic pregnancy that can be 100% accurate. For women of childbearing age who have a normal sexual life, if they have amenorrhea for 6-10 weeks, have a positive urine pregnancy test, and have symptoms such as abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, ectopic pregnancy should be highly suspected. If no embryonic sac is seen in the uterine cavity through vaginal B-ultrasound examination, it can be diagnosed as an ectopic pregnancy in most cases. For some complicated cases, laparoscopy is required for final diagnosis.

What are the causes of ectopic pregnancy?

1. Fallopian tube surgery. If tubal recanalization or fistula occurs after tubal sterilization, it may lead to tubal pregnancy, especially laparoscopic electrocoagulation tubal sterilization and silicone ring surgery. For women who have undergone tubal separation and adhesion surgery or tuboplasty due to infertility, such as tubal anastomosis and tubal opening, the incidence of subsequent tubal pregnancy is 10% to 20%.

2. Fallopian tube dysplasia or abnormal function. Tubal dysplasia is often manifested as an overly long fallopian tube, poorly developed muscularis, and a lack of mucociliary tissue. Other causes include double fallopian tubes, diverticula or accessory fimbria, which can all be causes of fallopian tube pregnancy. If the secretion of estrogen and progesterone is abnormal, it may affect the normal operation of the fertilized egg. In addition, mental factors can also cause fallopian tube spasms and abnormal peristalsis, interfering with the transportation of fertilized eggs.

3. Assisted reproductive technology. From the earliest artificial insemination to the current use of ovulation-inducing drugs, as well as in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) or gamete intrafallopian tube transfer (GIFT), ectopic pregnancies can occur, and the incidence rate is about 5%, which is higher than the incidence rate of ectopic pregnancies caused by general reasons. The related risk factors include preoperative fallopian tube lesions, history of pelvic surgery, technical factors of embryo transplantation, the number and quality of implanted embryos, hormonal environment, and excessive transplant fluid during embryo transplantation.
