What are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy after transplantation?

With the continuous development of modern medicine, embryo transplantation is a common method of treating infertility. After embryo transplantation, women can have a higher chance of becoming pregnant, but ectopic pregnancy may also occur easily. After embryo transplantation, ectopic pregnancy mainly manifests as abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding and other symptoms, and a detailed B-ultrasound examination is required.

Symptoms of ectopic pregnancy after transplantation

1. The symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are mainly severe abdominal pain and bleeding in the lower body.

2. Symptoms usually appear within about a month after transplantation. If you feel abdominal pain, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination, which can accurately determine whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. Usually, you should pay more attention to rest, avoid overwork, and maintain a good mood.

Why does ectopic pregnancy still occur after the embryo is transferred into the uterus?

1. The exact cause of ectopic pregnancy during in vitro fertilization is still not very clear. The high-risk factor is pelvic adhesion. Of course, not all patients with pelvic adhesion will experience ectopic pregnancy.

2. The possible reason is that after embryo transfer, it usually takes three to four days for the embryo to float freely in the uterine cavity before it can find the best implantation site, and then the embryo implants and clinical pregnancy occurs. If during this period the embryo migrates into the fallopian tube due to the influence of the pelvic microenvironment and does not return to the uterus, an ectopic pregnancy will occur. Patients with infertility due to fallopian tube factors have a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy than normal people. Therefore, whether it is natural conception or in vitro fertilization, it cannot prevent the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy. If you experience discomfort such as pale complexion, severe abdominal pain, etc., please go to the hospital in time.

There is still a possibility that embryo transfer may cause ectopic pregnancy, although it is very small. But no matter what, you should follow the doctor's instructions after undergoing embryo transfer. Take your time with care. If you experience any abnormal discomfort while you are away from the hospital and taking care of your pregnancy at home, you should go to the hospital in time to see the attending physician and ask for a thorough investigation.

What to do if you have an ectopic pregnancy after IVF

Usually the probability of ectopic pregnancy during test tube transplantation is relatively small, but it is not impossible. It is best to go to a regular hospital for B-ultrasound, diagnostic curettage and other examinations to determine whether there is a possibility of uterine fibroids, embryo defects, etc., and cooperate with the doctor to carry out relevant treatment. Commonly used treatments include fallopian tube fenestration and resection. Pay more attention to rest in daily life and eat a light diet.

The degree of patency of the fallopian tube has a direct relationship with the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy. Blocked fallopian tubes can cause infertility and ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy can also occur during a woman's normal pregnancy, and it can also occur during in vitro fertilization, miscarriage, and premature birth. According to authoritative medical data, the incidence of ectopic pregnancy in IVF (test tube baby) pregnant women is about 5% to 8%. The exact cause is still not very clear. The high-risk factor is pelvic adhesion. Of course, not all patients with pelvic adhesion will have ectopic pregnancy.

People with professional knowledge know that the incidence of ectopic pregnancy with in vitro fertilization is actually higher than the incidence of ectopic pregnancy after fallopian tube recanalization. Therefore, giving up the recanalization treatment of fallopian tube obstruction and directly choosing in vitro fertilization treatment just to avoid the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy is not worth the cost in terms of medical risks, medical expenses, and the incidence of ectopic pregnancy. Because the embryo is placed into the uterus on the third day, it is injected into the uterine cavity through a transfer tube during the transfer process. From one aspect, this seems to be the same as the angiography and fluid perfusion of the fallopian tube patency test. At this time, the embryonic tissue is very small, and it is possible to inject the embryo into the fallopian tube very easily. At the same time, after the embryo is transferred, it usually takes three to four days to float freely in the uterine cavity to find the best implantation site, and then the embryo implants and clinical pregnancy occurs. If it gets into the fallopian tube during this period, it will cause ectopic pregnancy. Currently, there is no good way to prevent ectopic pregnancy in IVF. Unless both fallopian tubes are removed before the IVF procedure, this will undoubtedly increase the patient's risk of new surgical trauma and medical risks, while also increasing the patient's financial burden.
