Some women who are trying to conceive may have a small amount of bleeding and abdominal pain symptoms in the early stages of pregnancy, and some people will take it as a normal reaction to pregnancy and ignore it, but if the blood color is dark red or dark brown, and the number of abdominal pain is long and long, it needs to be noted that it may be "ectopic pregnancy".
Ectopic pregnancy may cause maternal hemorrhage and shock, and the risk factor is very high, requiring special attention.
Ectopic pregnancy is popularly speaking, that is, when a woman is pregnant normally, the fertilized egg does not implant in the uterine cavity and runs to a place outside the uterine cavity to develop.
According to relevant data, the incidence of ectopic pregnancy is about 2%, that is, 2 out of 100 people are ectopic pregnancies, and those who have had abortions will have an exodus, and the probability of ectopic pregnancy will increase exponentially.
How is ectopic pregnancy different from a normal pregnancy?
Vaginal bleeding: Ectopic pregnancies will have darker blood color and last longer.
Abdominal pain: The embryo of an ectopic pregnancy grows outside the uterus and will constantly compress the place outside the uterus, and the pain will be stronger.
So, how can we find out whether it is ectopic pregnancy as soon as possible, so as to better treat it?
First of all, pay more attention to your physical state when preparing for pregnancy.
Although ectopic pregnancy has symptoms such as menopause, abdominal pain, and vaginal bleeding, many people also have no symptoms. This requires you to pay more attention to your physical condition.
Second, go to the hospital as early as possible for examination. Generally after 6 weeks can be monitored whether pregnant, this time can be drawn blood test, because the time is still short, need to monitor the HCG value for several days continuously, if the value doubles every day, then the possibility of ectopic pregnancy is very small, but if the doubling is not ideal, or to do a B ultrasound, see if there is a gestational sac in the uterine cavity.
Again, be sure to follow your doctor's advice. If ectopic pregnancy is determined, be sure to listen to the doctor, the hospitalization, the surgery, as soon as possible treatment. Ectopic pregnancy is a gynecological emergency, and many times there will be no signs, no bleeding, no stomach pain, and sudden rupture will cause heavy bleeding or shock.
Can ectopic pregnancy be prevented?
The occurrence of ectopic pregnancy can not be prevented, can only be detected early, as mentioned above, after 6 weeks can be drawn blood test, check too early the indicators have no guiding significance.
But in most cases, ectopic pregnancy prefers the following 4 types of people:
1. People with right fallopian tube inflammation, such as childbirth, miscarriage, uterine cavity surgery, vaginitis ascending infection, etc., can lead to tubal inflammation.
2. People with hypofruitous tubes. Born stunted, the road is blocked, and naturally it can only stop in the middle of the road.
3. The number of miscarriages is too much, resulting in a thin endometrium, and the fertilized eggs cannot be stationed, so they have to find another place to settle down.
4. Frequently take emergency contraceptives, if contraception fails, it will increase the likelihood of ectopic pregnancy.
