Three dangers of ectopic pregnancy that should be watched out for

Among many common gynecological diseases, ectopic pregnancy is a relatively serious condition, which may cause women to lose the ability to get pregnant again, which is extremely harmful. So what are the common hazards of ectopic pregnancy ? Let's talk about the common hazards of ectopic pregnancy.

In general, the common hazards of ectopic pregnancy are:

1. Tubal pregnancy abortion. It often occurs in the ampulla of the fallopian tube. When the embryonic sac bulges into the tubal cavity, due to the fragility of its capsule tissue, it often ruptures and bleeds at 6 to 12 weeks of pregnancy, and the fertilized egg is discharged into the abdominal cavity from the umbrella end through the fallopian tube. If the embryo is completely peeled off and flows into the abdominal cavity, it will form a complete tubal abortion, and the amount of bleeding is generally less. If the embryonic sac is not completely peeled off, it is partially discharged, and some villi are still attached to the tube wall, it is an incomplete tubal abortion. At this time, the trophoblast cells can remain active for a considerable period of time and continue to erode the fallopian tube tissue, causing repeated bleeding. When a large amount of blood flows into the abdominal cavity, it can cause shock. The embryonic tissue after tubal abortion is finally absorbed. This is one of the common hazards of ectopic pregnancy.

2. Rupture of tubal pregnancy. It is also a serious hazard of ectopic pregnancy. After the fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tube, the villi erode the muscle layer and serosa, and finally penetrate the tube wall, resulting in a ruptured tubal pregnancy. The fertilized egg is discharged from the fissure, and a large amount of blood flows into the abdominal cavity. In severe cases, it can cause shock. Pregnancy in the isthmus of the fallopian tube often ruptures around 6 weeks of pregnancy. Rupture of ampulla of the fallopian tube pregnancy often occurs between 8 and 12 weeks of pregnancy. In the interstitial part of the fallopian tube, because the lumen here is surrounded by the uterine muscle layer, rupture will not occur until the fetus develops to 3 to 4 months. Because there are rich blood vessels here, once ruptured, a large amount of internal bleeding can occur, which can be life-threatening. Regardless of whether the fallopian tube pregnancy is aborted or ruptured, if it is not treated in time after the onset of the disease, the fertilized egg has died, the internal bleeding gradually stops, and a hematoma mass is formed. After a period of time, the hematoma becomes organized and hardened, and adheres to the surrounding tissues, which is called a chronic ectopic pregnancy.

3. Secondary abdominal pregnancy. After the fallopian tube pregnancy is aborted or ruptured, the embryo or fetus has been discharged from the perforation or fimbria, but it still maintains blood supply with the original implantation site. Later, the placental tissue gradually grows outward from the damaged site, attaching to the uterus, fallopian tube, broad ligament or surrounding intestine and pelvic peritoneum, etc. The embryo or fetus continues to grow and develop, forming a secondary abdominal pregnancy. After the diagnosis is confirmed, the fetus should be removed by cesarean section. The placenta is implanted in the intestine or pelvic organs, and it will cause a lot of bleeding during peeling. It should be handled carefully according to the situation. If the fetus dies, it will become a stone fetus after a long time. This is also a common hazard of ectopic pregnancy.

The above is an introduction to the common hazards of ectopic pregnancy, I hope it will be helpful to everyone. In view of this, once you suffer from ectopic pregnancy, you must go to a regular hospital for treatment in time to avoid missing the best time for treatment.
