After sexual intercourse, once the egg meets and combines with the sperm to form a fertilized egg, the fertilized egg will pass through the fallopian tube and return to the uterine cavity for implantation. The fertilized egg continues to develop into a fetus. However, if the fertilized egg does not return to the uterine cavity for implantation and implants elsewhere, it belongs to ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is extremely harmful to women, so some women want to know if ectopic pregnancy can be detected at 40 days of pregnancy?
In general, women can go to the hospital for abdominal ultrasound examination at 40 days of pregnancy. If the ultrasound can observe the presence of a gestational sac in the uterine cavity, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy can be ruled out. If no gestational sac is found during the ultrasound examination at this time, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy should be considered. However, each woman's physical condition is different, and the time of conception and implantation in early pregnancy may vary slightly. It is recommended to wait for a week before undergoing another ultrasound examination.
If the gestational sac is still not found after another week of examination, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy is extremely high. Further examination should be carried out to see the location of the ectopic pregnancy. After diagnosis, surgery must be performed as soon as possible to terminate the pregnancy, because if the ectopic pregnancy is not treated in time, once the ectopic pregnancy mass ruptures, it will not only cause severe pain in the lower abdomen, but also cause massive abdominal bleeding, seriously endangering the life safety of women.
Women with ectopic pregnancy, like those with normal pregnancy, may experience early pregnancy symptoms, but in addition, they may also have symptoms such as abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. Therefore, when these symptoms occur, they should be taken seriously and diagnosed as soon as possible by going to the hospital for examination. Women should avoid gynecological inflammation in their daily lives, avoid unintended pregnancy and miscarriage, and pay attention to personal hygiene to reduce the incidence of ectopic pregnancy.
