How to effectively self-diagnose ectopic pregnancy?

Ectopic pregnancy is also called extrauterine pregnancy, which means that the fertilized egg is affected by certain factors and implants and develops in places outside the uterine cavity, such as the fallopian tube, uterine horn, abdominal cavity, ovary, etc. Because the implantation site is narrow and thin, it cannot expand fully and cannot accommodate the growth and development of the fertilized egg, making it easy for the embryo to pass through the wall tube, destroying the blood vessels and causing heavy bleeding. Ectopic pregnancy develops rapidly, is serious, and can be life-threatening if not handled properly. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to self-diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. The specific diagnostic methods are as follows:

Self-diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy

Amenorrhea: Most patients have a short history of amenorrhea before the onset of the disease, usually about 6 weeks. However, some patients may mistake pathological bleeding for menstruation because the chorionic gonadotropin produced by the chorionic tissue is not enough to maintain the endometrium, or because the disease occurs early, and they may think that they have no history of amenorrhea.

Abdominal pain: It is the main symptom of tubal pregnancy disruption, with an incidence of 95%. It is often a sudden tearing or paroxysmal pain on one side of the lower abdomen, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. When the diaphragm is stimulated, it can cause radiating pain in the shoulder blade. When there is fluid accumulation in the pelvic cavity, the anus feels heavy and swollen and has a defecation sensation. It is very helpful in diagnosing ectopic pregnancy.

Irregular vaginal bleeding: It is usually in the form of drops, dark brown, and small in amount, not exceeding the amount of menstruation. Vaginal bleeding is caused by endometrial ablation or fallopian tube bleeding discharged through the uterine cavity. Abdominal pain accompanied by vaginal bleeding is often a sign of embryo damage. Only abdominal pain without vaginal bleeding is often a sign of continued embryo survival or abdominal pregnancy, so be vigilant.

Syncope and shock: It is caused by acute bleeding and severe pain in the abdominal cavity. The more and faster the bleeding, the faster and more severe the symptoms will appear. It can cause dizziness, pale complexion, weak pulse, decreased blood pressure, cold sweats, and thus syncope and shock. This is also one of the self-diagnosis methods for ectopic pregnancy.

The above is an introduction to self-diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. If the above symptoms are found, family members should escort the patient to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the rescue opportunity. People with ectopic pregnancy-related pathogenic factors are advised to take preventive measures against ectopic pregnancy.
