For women who plan to conceive a baby, the biggest surprise is that they have a baby in their belly.
But sometimes there are accidents, and that is ectopic pregnancy (ectopic pregnancy).
Some time ago in Canada, a 33-year-old female patient found a fetus in the ultrasound image of the liver.
Bacteria were also shocked when they saw this news, ectopic pregnancy is a "bomb", the fetus is ectopic to the liver, it will only be more dangerous.
Why is the fetus not in the womb?
Under normal circumstances, the fertilized egg migrates from the fallopian tubes to the uterine cavity, settles in the endometrium, and slowly develops into a fetus.
But sometimes, for various reasons, the fertilized egg goes astray in the migration process, does not reach the uterus, but stops elsewhere, becoming an "ectopic pregnancy".
Ectopic pregnancies are most common in tubal pregnancies, accounting for about 95%. Rarely, ovarian pregnancy, intra-abdominal pregnancy, cervical pregnancy, and broad ligament pregnancy are also common.
This Canadian patient's condition is an intraperitoneal pregnancy, and it is a rare hepatic pregnancy.
Intra-abdominal pregnancy is rare, and continued pregnancy is at risk of major bleeding or organ rupture, and mortality rates are as high as 5%.
Fortunately, the patient found it in time and avoided the danger.
Prevention of ectopic pregnancies
Be sure to do it
As mentioned earlier, tubal pregnancies are most common in ectopic pregnancies.
When a woman's fallopian tubes are abnormal (such as tubal inflammation or infection, tubal dysplasia, tumors in the perrealping tubes), it may cause the fertilized egg to jam inside the fallopian tubes and begin to implant.
Therefore, bacteria are strongly recommended to:
If there are fallopian tubes or other gynecological diseases, it must be actively treated.
In addition, scientific contraception should also be done well, it is recommended to use condoms habitually, and pay attention to sexual hygiene.
Because unhygienic life without contraception or repeated abortions, it is easy to cause gynecological inflammation such as salpingitis and pelvic inflammatory disease, resulting in ectopic pregnancy.
When the insertion of an IUD or oral emergency contraceptive pill fails contraception, the probability of ectopic pregnancy is also relatively high.
Early detection, early treatment
While doing a good job in prevention, everyone also needs to pay more attention to physical condition.
The three typical symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are menopause, abdominal pain, and vaginal bleeding, although they are not so typical in practice.
For example, some people's vaginal bleeding symptoms appear around the time when the next menstruation is almost time, which is easy to mislead people into thinking that it is menstruation. So much so that both symptoms of menopause and vaginal bleeding have been ignored.
The duration of menopause in ectopic pregnancies can reach 6 to 8 weeks.
About 95% of patients with tubal pregnancies experience abdominal pain, often a dull pain or soreness in one side of the lower abdomen.
Vaginal bleeding in ectopic pregnancies generally does not exceed menstrual volume, the color is dark red, or even brown, and the amount is small and dripping.
If there is no condom sex life (wearing it halfway is also counted), and the above situations have appeared, the bacteria recommend immediately seeking medical treatment, check and identify!
If the diagnosis is an ectopic pregnancy, it can also be treated in time.
Prevention is not 100%, but it minimizes risk.
All in all, whether it's a woman who suspects she's pregnant, or a mother-to-be who finds out she's pregnant at home.
It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination, usually blood hCG measurement and ultrasonography.
If you have a normal pregnancy, everyone is happy, and if it is an ectopic pregnancy, you can also detect and treat it early.
If you want to get pregnant again after ectopic pregnancy, in addition to doing a good job of preconception examination, you also need to listen to the doctor's assessment to see if it is suitable for pregnancy again, after all, physical health is the most important.
