What are the early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

Women with a history of short-term amenorrhea or irregular menstruation are more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy. They may have irregular, small amounts of vaginal bleeding, while some patients may have no vaginal bleeding. Patients with irregular vaginal bleeding must take protective measures. If they feel abdominal pain, continuous or intermittent pain, they must pay attention to it. Want to know what are the early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

1. Symptoms

Most patients have a history of amenorrhea, and sometimes a small amount of irregular vaginal bleeding may occur after amenorrhea. The rupture or miscarriage of ectopic pregnancy often occurs around 40 days of pregnancy, with severe pain in the lower abdomen. Rupture of ectopic pregnancy can cause acute massive bleeding, resulting in a drop in the patient's blood pressure, and syncope or shock. 10% of patients experience shoulder pain, which is caused by reflex stimulation of the prostatic nerve by hemoperitoneum.

1. Menopause

Most patients with amenorrhea have amenorrhea for 6 to 8 weeks, but some patients have no obvious history of amenorrhea, and some mistake vaginal bleeding for normal menstruation.

2. Abdominal pain

The abdominal pain is caused by the rupture of the fallopian tube, and is often a tearing pain in one side of the lower abdomen, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and a feeling of heaviness in the anus. If there is excessive bleeding, the pain will be unbearable.

3. Diarrhea

Patients with ectopic pregnancy may also experience diarrhea symptoms, which can easily be mistaken for indigestion or intestinal emergencies if the condition is not carefully analyzed.

4. Vaginal bleeding

There is often irregular vaginal bleeding, which is dark brown in color, small in amount, usually not exceeding the menstrual volume, and is always unclean. If there is heavy bleeding, the situation will be more serious and may cause fainting and shock. Most patients have a short history of amenorrhea before the onset of the disease, usually about 6 weeks.

5. Shock

It can cause dizziness, pale complexion, thin pulse, low blood pressure, cold sweat, and thus fainting and shock. Fainting caused by an ectopic pregnancy can also easily be mistaken for hypoglycemia.

2. Prevention of Diseases

1. Auxiliary examination

Radioimmunoassay for BhCG ​​can assist in the diagnosis of early unruptured ectopic pregnancy. Ultrasound examination can reveal that there is no gestational sac in the uterine cavity, but it can be seen outside the uterus, which helps in early diagnosis. Posterior fornix puncture or abdominal puncture to draw out non-clotting blood is helpful in diagnosing ruptured ectopic pregnancy. In recent years, people have used laparoscopes to observe the pelvic and abdominal organs under direct vision, which can detect unruptured cases at an early stage. Diagnostic curettage to examine the uterine abdomen and detect pregnancy-specific B1-glycoprotein in the patient's blood can also help in the early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy.

2. Skipping rope

A study shows that among women of childbearing age who jump rope regularly, there are very few cases of ectopic pregnancy. This discovery is very significant.

More than 95% of ectopic pregnancies occur in the fallopian tubes. The fallopian tube is similar to blood vessels, with a muscular layer, an endometrium, and an adventitia, but its structure and function are much more complex than those of blood vessels. Under the dual effects of hormones and nerves, the tube wall experiences strong contractions, weak contractions, periodic peristaltic contractions, and reverse contractions. The coordination of the contraction function and the swinging of the endothelial cell cilia can not only "connect" the egg to the fertilization point in the fallopian tube and "invite" the sperm to combine with it, but also "send" the fertilized egg safely to the uterine cavity for implantation, growth and development. There are many factors that influence these functions. The emergence and spread of artificial abortion, contraceptive devices, improper treatment operations and other reasons in modern society have multiplied the chances of fallopian tube inflammation, abnormalities in the structure and function of the fallopian tube, the failure of the fallopian tube to "deliver" the fertilized egg to the uterus, and the possibility of implantation and development in the fallopian tube, resulting in tubal pregnancy. Relying on ultrasound examination, timely detection and early surgical resection is really a helpless and passive approach. The realization that skipping rope can prevent ectopic pregnancy has opened the eyes of maternal and child health workers and women of childbearing age. Among some fitness programs, skipping rope has a more prominent effect in enhancing physical fitness and all-round fitness. Jumping rope can prevent ectopic pregnancy, mainly because jumping rope can enhance the function of internal organs including reproductive organs, and it is an effective "fallopian tube gymnastics".

The up and down bouncing of the body when skipping rope can shake the internal organs, and can also have a therapeutic effect of vibration and massage on the uterus and the surrounding ligaments and mesentery. As for the fallopian tubes and ovaries that are arranged horizontally in the abdominal cavity and are relatively free, they have both rhythmic vibrations and stretching effects, which is equivalent to "doing gymnastics." The health-care benefits of this "fallopian tube gymnastics" are difficult to replace by other methods. The biological laws of "life lies in movement" and "use it or lose it" also apply to internal reproductive organs such as fallopian tubes. Continuous and regular "fallopian tube gymnastics" is a suitable stimulation; it can activate microcirculation, provide sufficient nutrition and oxygen, and enhance metabolism. The appropriate stimulation of regular rope skipping is very helpful for the growth and development of smooth muscles, secretory cells and other tissue structures of the internal reproductive organs such as the fallopian tubes of adolescent women, and promotes the soundness and perfection of their functions. For women of childbearing age, it can especially enhance the peristalsis of the fallopian tubes, promote the secretion of hormones and other auxiliary reproductive fluids, and ensure the functions of "receiving", "inviting" and "delivering" eggs, sperms and fertilized eggs, thereby avoiding obstruction of the fertilized eggs' movement, inability to reach the uterine cavity, and implantation and development in the fallopian tubes. Skipping rope is very beneficial for the health of the reproductive system and maintaining its perfect function.

In addition, because skipping rope has all-round fitness benefits, it can comprehensively enhance physical fitness, and enhance the functions of the heart, lungs, neuro-endocrine and motor systems, which is also a contributing factor to reducing ectopic pregnancies.

Some people have used precision instruments to monitor the ovulation process and found that jumping up and down can help the egg enter the fallopian tube opening more smoothly and accurately. This has strongly demonstrated the health benefits of "fallopian tube gymnastics".

By the way, it is best not to jump within 20 hours after the sperm enters the body, for fear of affecting the combination of sperm and egg. Other than that, just jump.
