How to deal with the leaked gestational sac

In many cases, if a man and a woman do not take effective contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse, it is easy to lead to the possibility of pregnancy, especially if they are not married or have no plans to have children. If an unexpected pregnancy occurs, the pregnancy can usually be terminated by abortion surgery or medical abortion. So what should be done with the gestational sac that is discharged by medical abortion? The following is a detailed introduction for friends.

If you are having a medical abortion at home , the gestational sac can be thrown into the trash or flushed down the toilet. Both methods are acceptable.

If it is in a hospital , the hospital will generally treat it as medical waste. Pay attention to vaginal bleeding after medical abortion.

The gestational sac is the primitive placental tissue , a small embryo wrapped by the amniotic membrane and vascular network. The gestational sac is the initial form of pregnancy. At that time, the fetus has not yet formed, and the fetal heartbeat is already there when the embryonic bud appears.

The gestational sac is also a product of ectopic pregnancy. The fertilized egg fails to enter the uterus at 7 days due to certain factors such as inflammation and adhesion. Ectopic pregnancy usually causes heavy bleeding, and generally the fetus cannot survive. The mother of the little baby was experiencing an intrauterine pregnancy, but due to poor development of the uterus, the gestational sac broke through the weak top of the uterus and entered the abdominal cavity. The villi around the gestational sac sought nutrients everywhere in the abdominal cavity and then supplied them to the fetus through the placenta. Usually, such a fetus will die within two months because it has no protection from the uterine environment and lives in an extremely harsh environment with poor nutrition.

An empty gestational sac means that the embryo has not developed well. There are many reasons for this, such as poor sperm quality and environmental factors that can affect embryonic development. Sometimes an empty gestational sac can also occur if the fertilized egg is late.

The gestational sac is only seen in early pregnancy. For women who have regular menstruation of 28 to 30 days, after 35 days of amenorrhea, the gestational sac can be seen in the uterine cavity by B-ultrasound. The diameter of the gestational sac is about 2 cm at 6 weeks of pregnancy and about 5 cm at 10 weeks of pregnancy. It is normal for the gestational sac to be located at the fundus, front wall, back wall, upper part, or middle part of the uterus; it is normal for it to be round, oval, and clear in shape; if the gestational sac is irregular in shape, blurred, and located in the lower part, and the pregnant woman also has abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding, she may have a miscarriage. The gestational sac is the primitive placental tissue, a small embryo wrapped by the amniotic membrane and vascular network. The gestational sac is the initial form of pregnancy. At that time, the fetus has not yet formed, and the fetal heartbeat is already there when the embryonic bud appears. In the second week, the embryo implants in the endometrium. When it develops into the second germ layer, a large cavity called the primary yolk sac appears on the ventral side of the embryonic disc. The yolk sac continues to shrink and degenerate during embryonic development, but the extraembryonic mesoderm on the wall of the yolk sac is the earliest origin of the formation of blood cells, blood vessels and primitive germ cells - the gestational sac, where the fetus will grow in the future.
