summary

My sister-in-law recently felt sick in her stomach and went to the hospital for examination. Results check found that is pregnant, or ectopic pregnancy. For ectopic pregnancy, we have only heard of it, and we don't know much about it, but subconsciously, we don't think it's very good. The doctor gave us a detailed explanation. Now let me tell you something about ectopic pregnancy.

What about ectopic pregnancy

First: ectopic pregnancy, also known as ectopic pregnancy, refers to the implantation and development of the fertilized egg outside the uterine cavity. According to different implantation sites, there are tubal pregnancy, ovarian pregnancy, abdominal pregnancy, cervical pregnancy and residual horn pregnancy. In ectopic pregnancy, tubal pregnancy is the most common, accounting for more than 90%. The most common site of tubal pregnancy is the ampulla, accounting for 55-60%; the second is isthmus, accounting for 20-25%; the third is fimbria, accounting for 17%; the third is interstitial pregnancy, accounting for only 2-4%. Ectopic pregnancy is a gynecological emergency. If it is not treated in time, it may be life-threatening due to massive hemorrhage. Therefore, once found, it is necessary to actively seek treatment.

Second: suffering from ectopic pregnancy, not active treatment will lead to syncope and shock. Due to acute intra-abdominal bleeding, resulting in rapid reduction of blood volume in the circulatory system, coupled with severe abdominal pain, mild syncope, severe pale complexion, cold and wet limbs, rapid and weak pulse, blood pressure drop, known as "shock" in medicine. The villi of the egg erode the muscular layer and serosa of the tube wall and form the rupture of the fallopian tube. In this case, the body's own coagulation mechanism has been unable to complete the task of hemostasis, if not timely diagnosis and treatment, the patient will have hemorrhagic shock, resulting in death.

Third: life threatening: about 1 / 3 of ectopic pregnancy patients are in pre shock or shock state when they are admitted to hospital. The severity of shock depends on the amount of internal bleeding and the speed of blood loss, which is not proportional to the amount of vaginal bleeding. Once rupture, a large number of intra-abdominal bleeding occurs in a very short period of time, not quickly rescue will be life-threatening. Lead to infertility: ectopic pregnancy can cause infertility, but most women are not directly caused by infertility, but because of indirect causes, such as: tubal blockage makes women appear ectopic pregnancy phenomenon, make women appear infertility, and long-term in the past, will make women menstrual disorder.
