What to do if the gestational sac is in the cervix

Generally speaking, under normal circumstances, sperm and egg combine in the fallopian tube to form a fertilized egg and then transported to the uterine cavity for implantation. If the implantation site is not in the uterine cavity, it is abnormal. Some gestational sacs will implant in the fallopian tubes, ovaries, etc. This is an ectopic pregnancy, which is also relatively dangerous. Generally, surgery is required to treat it. Some friends have found through B-ultrasound that the gestational sac is not in the uterine cavity, but in the internal cervical os. What causes this? What should I do if the gestational sac is at the internal os of the cervix? Next I will introduce it to you in detail.

If the gestational sac is at the internal os of the cervix during pregnancy, it is considered a cervical pregnancy, which is an ectopic pregnancy. It is recommended that you go for another B-ultrasound check in a week. If it is still in the cervix, you cannot keep this baby. As the embryo grows, the gestational sac gradually increases in size, and the cervix cannot accommodate it. The cervix is ​​not as stretchable as the uterus, and cannot provide nutrients for the development of the embryo, which can easily lead to miscarriage and even heavy bleeding.

Why is the gestational sac located at the internal opening of the cervix?

There are two possible reasons for the gestational sac being at the internal os of the cervix: 1. Due to mental factors, excessive fatigue, impact on the corpus luteum insufficiency, etc., the embryo is separated from the uterine wall and moves down to the internal os of the cervix. The gestational sac collapses and deforms due to B-ultrasound scissors, which makes miscarriage inevitable, and the gestational sac flows down to the internal os of the cervix; 2. Due to the possibility of endometrial inflammation, the gestational sac implants at the internal os of the cervix.

If B-ultrasound has confirmed that the gestational sac has implanted close to the cervix, there is no way to intervene and the location of implantation cannot be changed. The only thing to do is to closely observe the location of placental attachment in the middle and late stages of pregnancy. If the placenta is attached near the cervical opening or even completely covers the cervical opening, it is called a low-lying placenta or central placenta previa, and pregnant women are prone to symptoms of bleeding and premature birth. During this period, the patient should be instructed to avoid strenuous activities, injuries, trauma, constipation, and sexual intercourse during pregnancy, so as to reduce the possibility of placental bleeding and thus the occurrence of premature birth.
