Will an ectopic pregnancy go away on its own?

Ectopic pregnancy cannot be aborted on its own. Instead, it will cause abdominal pain and heavy bleeding in women, which has a great impact on women's bodies. Ectopic pregnancy is a type of fallopian tube pregnancy. The development of the fetus in the fallopian tube will cause the fallopian tube to rupture and the fetus to become deformed. It does not meet the development requirements of the fetus, so ectopic pregnancy requires an induced abortion. You can learn about the treatment methods and dangers of ectopic pregnancy.

The chance of spontaneous abortion of an ectopic pregnancy

1. Ectopic pregnancy is an abnormal pregnancy state, which is more common in fallopian tube pregnancy. Some netizens wonder, if it is an abnormal pregnancy, then when the fetus develops to a certain extent, will it cause miscarriage due to growth restriction? In fact, the chance of spontaneous abortion due to ectopic pregnancy is very small.

2. In a normal pregnancy, the fertilized egg implants in the uterine cavity, which is called intrauterine pregnancy. When the fertilized egg implants and grows outside the uterine cavity, it is called an ectopic pregnancy, commonly known as an ectopic pregnancy. But in fact, the meanings of the two are slightly different. Ectopic pregnancy refers to any pregnancy that occurs outside the uterus, while ectopic pregnancy refers to a pregnancy in which the fertilized egg is located outside the normal implantation site, and also includes cervical pregnancy, intramural pregnancy, cornual pregnancy, etc. Therefore, ectopic pregnancy has a broader meaning.

3. Ectopic pregnancy is extremely harmful. Not only can the fertilized egg fail to develop into a normal fetus, but if it is not discovered and treated early, the pregnant woman may be in danger of life. The reason is that the tissues in the fallopian tubes, ovaries and other places are not as strong and elastic as the uterus. When the embryo slowly grows to a certain size, it will burst the surrounding tissues, causing abdominal pain and heavy bleeding. This is medically called "ectopic pregnancy rupture."

4. After bleeding into internal tissues, a large amount of blood will accumulate in the abdominal cavity, but it cannot be seen from the outside, so it is easily overlooked. Many people are not sent to the hospital until they faint from excessive blood loss. This not only increases the difficulty of treatment, but also makes the patient's life safety not guaranteed. Unlike normal pregnancy, the chance of miscarriage in ectopic pregnancy is very small. If heavy bleeding occurs, it is very likely that the ectopic pregnancy has ruptured, and the fetus will not miscarry automatically. Instead, you should seek medical attention immediately after bleeding occurs to avoid delaying the condition.

Treatment of ectopic pregnancy

1. Drug treatment of ectopic pregnancy

Chemotherapy is usually administered systemically, but can also be administered locally. The treatment mechanism is to inhibit the proliferation of trophoblastic cells, destroy the villi, and cause the embryonic tissue to necrotize, fall off, and be absorbed, thus avoiding surgery. The application of chemotherapy may not be successful in every case.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment

Currently, non-surgical treatment mainly relies on conservative treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. However, traditional Chinese medicine takes a long time to kill the embryo during pregnancy, and during the conservative treatment process, there is a possibility that the embryo will continue to develop and cause fallopian tube rupture. In addition, sometimes surgery is needed because the treatment is not thorough, which can easily waste the patient's time, physical strength and money.

3. Salpingectomy

For patients who have already given birth and cannot undergo fenestration surgery due to severe damage to the fallopian tube rupture, a unilateral salpingectomy can be performed. For most women who want to have children, a window surgery can be performed on the ruptured fallopian tube, which can retain a 25% chance of fertility for the patient.

4. Conservative surgery for ectopic pregnancy

The treatment principle of ectopic pregnancy is mainly surgical treatment. There are two types of surgical methods for open abdominal surgery of ectopic pregnancy. One is to remove the affected fallopian tube; the other is to retain the affected fallopian tube, which is conservative surgery.
