How many days does it take for an ectopic pregnancy to rupture?

Ectopic pregnancy, as the name suggests, means that the combination of sperm and egg into fertilized egg does not occur in the female uterus. As the fertilized egg develops, it will rupture, and once it ruptures, the patient will be in great danger. However, many female friends who suffer from ectopic pregnancy still don’t know how many days it will take for the ectopic pregnancy to rupture. In order to help more patients with ectopic pregnancy stay away from danger, let us understand how many days it will take for an ectopic pregnancy to rupture.

This time is difficult to determine, it depends on where your fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tube.

Generally speaking, ectopic pregnancy will appear around the 6th to 8th week, mostly with rupture; if it is in the ampulla or fimbria, it may appear a little later, with abortion type being more common; if it is in the interstitial part, it will appear even later, but it is also the most dangerous. Isthmus pregnancy usually ruptures around 6 weeks of pregnancy. Rupture of the fallopian tube and ampulla usually occurs between 8 and 12 weeks of gestation.

If the pregnancy occurs in the interstitial part of the fallopian tube, rupture will not occur until the fetus is 3 to 4 months old because the tube cavity is surrounded by the uterine muscle layer. Ruptured ectopic pregnancy can penetrate the fallopian tube wall or miscarry from the fallopian tube fimbria to the abdominal cavity, threatening the life of the pregnant woman.

Ectopic pregnancy is like a time bomb that threatens human health, and surgery should be performed immediately once discovered.

Through the introduction above, we have some substantial understanding of the problem of rupture of ectopic pregnancy. In fact, excessive use of birth control pills is also a cause of ectopic pregnancy in women, so it is recommended that everyone take care of their bodies, take contraceptive measures, stay away from behaviors that harm the body, and conduct relevant examinations in a timely manner when symptoms such as lower body bleeding and lower abdominal pain occur.
