What are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

Ectopic pregnancy is an abnormal pregnancy phenomenon, which is very harmful to women's health. Once an ectopic pregnancy occurs, if it is not treated in time, it may even cause great harm to women's life and health. It often causes lower abdominal pain in patients and may even easily lead to another ectopic pregnancy. It may easily lead to symptoms of infertility in women, etc. Therefore, if an ectopic pregnancy occurs, it is necessary to emphasize care to avoid greater harm.

What are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage?

Ectopic pregnancy miscarriage 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 a few weeks into pregnancy, and the fertilized egg is discharged into the abdominal cavity through the fimbria end of the fallopian tube. If the embryo is completely detached and flows into the abdominal cavity, it will result in a complete tubal abortion and the amount of bleeding is generally small. If the embryonic sac is not completely detached and partially expelled, and some villi are still attached to the tube wall, it is an incomplete tubal abortion.

Patients with ectopic pregnancy who experience lower abdominal pain and bleeding may be experiencing ectopic pregnancy miscarriage and should be sent to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in a timely manner. Regarding ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage, you should know that the heavy bleeding caused by ectopic pregnancy poses a great threat to your health. If ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage are not treated in time, it will cause great harm to the mother.

Lower abdominal pain occurs after amenorrhea. If ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage occurs, irregular bleeding will occur about 10 days later. If the patient does not pay attention to it at this time, intra-abdominal bleeding will occur after a few days. Patients with ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage often have a short history of amenorrhea and symptoms such as early pregnancy reactions. After the death of the fertilized egg, hormone levels decrease, and endometrium sheds and bleeding occurs. Patients with ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage often feel bloating and pain in one side of the lower abdomen before rupture.

There are 5 common dangers of ectopic pregnancy

1. Miscarriage occurs:

Complete abortion causes less bleeding, but in incomplete abortion, some villi remain in the fallopian tube. The trophoblastic cells can continue to invade the fallopian tube wall for a period of time, causing repeated bleeding.

2. The occurrence of another ectopic pregnancy:

According to a survey, 10% to 15% of women who have had an ectopic pregnancy will have another ectopic pregnancy. This means that after one fallopian tube is removed, there is still a possibility of ectopic pregnancy in the other fallopian tube.

3. Life-threatening:

About one-third of patients with ectopic pregnancy are in a state of pre-shock or shock when they are admitted to the hospital. The severity of the shock depends on the amount of internal bleeding and the rate of blood loss, which is not proportional to the amount of vaginal bleeding. Once ruptured, massive intra-abdominal bleeding will occur in a very short time, and without timely rescue, it will be life-threatening.

4. Infertility:

Ectopic pregnancy can cause infertility, but for most women, infertility is not caused directly, but indirectly. For example, blockage of the fallopian tubes can cause ectopic pregnancy in women, which can lead to infertility. If this continues for a long time, it will cause menstrual disorders in women.

5. Rupture:

The villi of the fertilized egg erode the muscular layer and serosa of the tube wall, causing the fallopian tube to rupture, which may injure the small arteries and cause acute bleeding.
