What are the symptoms of scar pregnancy?

If a woman chooses to have a caesarean section during her first pregnancy, it will cause a huge wound on her abdomen, which will form a scar after recovery. At this time, it should be noted that the best time to have another child is three years later. Those who get pregnant within three years should pay attention to preventing scar pregnancy. This is an extremely serious symptom for postpartum women. Let’s take a look at the symptoms of scar pregnancy and how to treat it.

Scar pregnancy refers to a situation in which a gestational sac implants in the original uterine scar during the next pregnancy in a woman with a history of cesarean section. This often leads to heavy vaginal bleeding and late uterine rupture. It is an abnormal pregnancy that is difficult to treat and is as dangerous as an ectopic pregnancy. It is one of the most headache-inducing problems for obstetricians.

symptom:

Pregnant women who experience scar pregnancy generally do not have obvious discomfort symptoms in the very early stages of pregnancy, but some people will experience irregular vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain. Because there is no obvious discomfort, if the patient seeks medical treatment, the gynecologist cannot make a diagnosis during clinical examination because the size of the uterus is not significantly different from that of a normal pregnancy and the cervical examination is often normal. This brings trouble to the patient's early detection and early treatment.

treat:

In terms of treatment, there is currently no recognized and reliable treatment for uterine scar pregnancy. For those who have a clear diagnosis and need to terminate the pregnancy, the doctor's general treatment principle is: try to remove the lesion, try to avoid serious complications such as heavy bleeding, and try to preserve the uterus and fertility.

When recommending treatment plans, gynecologists may have multiple options for patients and their families to choose from based on medical technology conditions, the severity and classification of the disease: for example, laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, laparotomy (removing the pregnancy lesions on the uterine scar can cause new trauma, and contraception will be required for two to three years after the operation before becoming pregnant again), ultrasound-guided interventional chemotherapy (that is, using ultrasound to inject chemotherapy drugs into the embryo to cause it to necrotize and then perform a uterine cleaning).
