Is ectopic pregnancy harmful to the human body?

Ectopic pregnancy is one of the female gynecological diseases. The so-called ectopic pregnancy means that the embryo does not implant and develop in the uterus, but grows in the female's fallopian tube. Nowadays, many pregnant women suffer from ectopic pregnancies. The embryo in the fallopian tube naturally cannot be delivered normally, and surgery is generally used to terminate the ectopic pregnancy. So what are the harms of ectopic pregnancy to our human body?

1. Cause miscarriage: The site of ectopic pregnancy cannot meet the normal growth requirements of the embryonic sac, resulting in complete miscarriage or incomplete miscarriage. Among them, complete abortion causes less bleeding, while in incomplete abortion, some villi remain in the fallopian tube. For a period of time, trophoblastic cells can continue to invade the fallopian tube wall, causing repeated bleeding. Because the contraction force of the fallopian tube muscle layer is poor, it cannot close the open blood vessels, resulting in more bleeding.

2. Fallopian tube rupture: When the embryo develops in the fallopian tube for about three months, it will reach a level that the fallopian tube cannot bear and will eventually rupture the fallopian tube. At this time, the pregnant woman will feel symptoms such as increased abdominal pain and heavy bleeding in the lower body. If an ectopic pregnancy ruptures the fallopian tube, it will immediately put the pregnant woman into fatal crisis. If rescue is not timely, the ectopic pregnancy will take two lives at the same time.

3. Damage to the reproductive system: After an ectopic pregnancy occurs, the patient often has severe abdominal pain, accompanied by irregular vaginal bleeding, etc. This is because as the embryo develops outside the uterus, it squeezes or stretches other tissues of the reproductive system as it grows. The longer the ectopic pregnancy lasts and the larger the fetus grows, the greater the damage to the mother's reproductive system.

4. Shock, fainting and even death: When ectopic pregnancy occurs, it is a huge threat to the patient. The severe pain and heavy bleeding caused by ectopic pregnancy can cause shock, fainting, unconsciousness, and even death to the patient. Even if timely rescue is given, it can still cause great harm to the patient.

Through reading the above article, I believe everyone has a clearer understanding of the harm caused by ectopic pregnancy to our human body. Ectopic pregnancy can not only lead to miscarriage, but also cause fallopian tube rupture when the embryo grows to about three months, causing heavy bleeding in women, and in severe cases, endangering the life of women.
