How to treat an ectopic pregnancy

How is an ectopic pregnancy treated?

An abnormal pregnancy process in which the fertilized egg implants and develops outside the uterine cavity. It is also called "ectopic pregnancy". Tubal pregnancy is the most common. The cause is usually due to inflammation in the fallopian tube cavity or surrounding areas, resulting in poor patency of the tubal cavity, hindering the normal operation of the fertilized egg, causing it to stay in the fallopian tube, implant, and develop, leading to miscarriage or rupture of tubal pregnancy.

Causes of ectopic pregnancy:

1. Fallopian tube inflammation can be divided into fallopian tube mucositis and fallopian tube perialesthesia, both of which are common causes of fallopian tube pregnancy.

2. Tubal surgery: If tubal recanalization or fistula is formed after tubal sterilization, tubal pregnancy may occur, especially laparoscopic electrocoagulation tubal sterilization and silicone ring surgery.

3. Assisted reproductive technology, from the earliest artificial insemination to the currently commonly used ovulation-inducing drugs, has the highest rate of ectopic pregnancies, higher than general causes.

4. The fertilized egg migrates. The egg is fertilized in one fallopian tube, and the fertilized egg passes through the uterine cavity or abdominal cavity into the opposite fallopian tube, which is called fertilized egg migration.

5. Hypoplasia or dysfunction of the fallopian tube. Hypoplasia of the fallopian tube is often manifested as excessively long fallopian tubes, hypoplastic muscularis, and lack of mucosal cilia.

6. In addition, due to surrounding tumors, the fallopian tubes may also affect the patency of the fallopian tube lumen, thereby obstructing the movement of the fertilized egg.

Typical symptoms of ectopic pregnancy:

1. Menopause, except for the menopause caused by tubal interstitial pregnancy, most cases last for 6 to 8 weeks.

2. Vaginal bleeding. After the embryo dies, there is often irregular vaginal bleeding, which is dark red and small in amount, generally not exceeding the amount of menstruation.

3. Syncope and shock, due to acute intra-abdominal bleeding and severe abdominal pain, mild syncope, severe hemorrhagic shock. Other symptoms include a few people who have no obvious history of menopause, or whose menstruation is only two or three days late. Or vaginal bleeding is heavy, similar to menstruation, and vaginal bleeding may be accompanied by the discharge of decidual fragments.
