What to do if you have a second ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy is a serious disease, especially for women, because this disease is likely to make women infertile for life, and the risk is relatively high when doing ectopic pregnancy surgery. Most women will experience heavy bleeding. So in order to avoid ectopic pregnancy, women should do some exercise. And the probability of ectopic pregnancy for the first time and the second time is also relatively high. So what should I do for the second ectopic pregnancy?

What should I do if I have an ectopic pregnancy for the second time? Regarding this issue, relevant people said that in general, in this case, it is necessary to decide whether to undergo surgical treatment based on each person's specific situation. Because each person's situation is different, the treatment measures taken are also different.

What to do if you have an ectopic pregnancy for the second time

If the conditions for conservative treatment are met, at least one operation can be avoided, and patients who may require a second operation should be considered first. After successful treatment, the condition of the fallopian tubes will be carefully evaluated to decide on future treatment and pregnancy plans.

Ectopic pregnancy is a very common ectopic pregnancy which is a fallopian tube pregnancy. According to clinical statistics, tubal pregnancy accounts for about 90% of ectopic pregnancies. Tubal pregnancy means that the fertilized egg "settles" in the fallopian tube. As the fertilized egg develops and grows in the fallopian tube day by day, it is bound to "burst" the fallopian tube that lacks the ability to stretch, causing severe bleeding.

There are often no obvious symptoms before an ectopic pregnancy ruptures, so it is difficult to detect in the early stages. Many patients experience some early pregnancy reactions after menopause, such as loss of appetite, nausea, and picky eating. Some also have a small amount of vaginal bleeding, accompanied by dull pain or soreness in the lower abdomen. This is caused by the gradual growth of the embryo in the fallopian tube, causing the fallopian tube to expand excessively.

If an ectopic pregnancy ruptures, bleeding may occur. Generally speaking, ectopic pregnancy rupture and bleeding often occur in early pregnancy. Since the gestational sac is not implanted in the uterus, but in the narrow fallopian tube cavity, as the gestational sac develops, it will cause rupture and bleeding. As the blood flow increases, blood fills the abdominal cavity and may cause pain in the entire abdomen. If the blood stimulates the diaphragm, it may radiate to the shoulder blade and cause pain in the area. If the bleeding continues, fainting and shock may occur. According to clinical statistics, about 1/3 of patients will suffer internal bleeding due to ruptured ectopic pregnancy and will be in a state of shock or pre-shock when admitted to the hospital. If not treated in time, it may be life-threatening.

Abdominal pain is the main symptom of ectopic pregnancy rupture, with an incidence rate of 95%. It is often sudden tearing or paroxysmal pain on one side of the lower abdomen, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Stimulation of the diaphragm can cause radiating pain in the shoulder blade. When fluid accumulates in the pelvic cavity, there is a feeling of heaviness and defecation in the anus. It is very helpful in diagnosing ectopic pregnancy.
