Experts introduce the method of detecting ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy is a common gynecological disease in life. Knowing the examination methods for ectopic pregnancy can help women better diagnose this disease. What are the examination methods for ectopic pregnancy? How much do you know about the examination methods for ectopic pregnancy? Below, experts will introduce the examination methods for ectopic pregnancy to you.

Ultrasound diagnosis: B-ultrasound imaging shows that the uterus is enlarged, but the uterine cavity is empty, and there is a low echo area next to the uterus. This image is not the acoustic feature of tubal pregnancy, and the possibility of early intrauterine pregnancy with corpus luteum should be excluded. Ultrasound detection of gestational sac and fetal heart beat is very important for diagnosing ectopic pregnancy. B-ultrasound early diagnosis of interstitial pregnancy has important clinical significance, which can show that one side of the uterine horn is protruding, the local muscle layer is thickened, and there is an obvious gestational sac inside. This is the method of checking ectopic pregnancy.

Pregnancy test: When the embryo is alive or the trophoblast is viable, the syncytial cells secrete hCG and the pregnancy test may be positive. Since the hCG level in patients with ectopic pregnancy is lower than that in normal pregnancy, the general hCG determination method is used.

Endometrial pathological examination: This method of ectopic pregnancy examination is only suitable for patients with heavy vaginal bleeding. Uterine discharge should be routinely sent for pathological examination. If villi are seen in the slice, it can be diagnosed as intrauterine pregnancy. Although ectopic pregnancy should be considered, it cannot be confirmed.

Diagnostic curettage: When ectopic pregnancy cannot be ruled out, diagnostic curettage can be performed to obtain the endometrium for pathological examination. However, the endometrial changes in ectopic pregnancy are not characteristic, and can be manifested as decidual tissue, highly secretory phase with or without AS reaction, secretory phase and proliferative phase. This is also one of the methods for checking ectopic pregnancy.

Posterior fornix puncture: It is widely used to diagnose ectopic pregnancy. Blood can often be drawn and placed without coagulation, and there are small blood clots in it. This is also a method for detecting ectopic pregnancy.

After reading the above brief introduction to the detection methods of ectopic pregnancy, I hope it can be helpful to everyone. Everyone should pay more attention to the detection methods of ectopic pregnancy, learn more about them, pay more attention to prevention in life, and treat them as soon as possible once they are discovered.
