Being a woman is quite difficult, as one has to manage the household and have children. If giving birth goes smoothly, everything will be fine, but there is a great deal of worry about other problems during pregnancy, which can be very difficult to bear. There is a type of pregnancy called ovarian pregnancy, which is a type of ectopic pregnancy with a very low fetal survival rate. So, what are the diagnostic criteria for ovarian pregnancy?
Diagnostic criteria for ovarian pregnancy
1. Bilateral fallopian tubes are normal.
2. The blastocyst is located within the ovarian tissue.
3. The ovary and blastocyst are connected to the uterus by the ovarian intrinsic ligament.
4. There is ovarian tissue on the wall of the blastocyst.
Causes of ovarian pregnancy
1. Ovulation disorders, caused by pelvic inflammation leading to peri ovarian inflammation and pelvic adhesions, result in reduced pressure within the follicles, hindering egg release.
2. The function of the fallopian tubes is impaired, due to congenital or other reasons, abnormal ciliary activity of the fallopian tube epithelium or retrograde peristalsis of the fallopian tubes, resulting in abnormal transport of fertilized eggs.
3. The surface of the ovary can produce decidual tissue and there are endometriosis lesions on the surface of the ovary, which are beneficial for fertilized egg implantation.
The clinical manifestations of ovarian pregnancy are very similar to those of tubal pregnancy, with the main symptoms being amenorrhea, abdominal pain, and vaginal bleeding. The vast majority of patients experience early rupture of ovarian pregnancy, which can cause significant intra-abdominal bleeding and even shock. There are reports that a very small number of patients can conceive to full term, and even have a surviving fetus.
Pregnancy is a complex process, and when women discover they are pregnant, it is best to go to the hospital for a diagnosis to rule out the possibility of other pregnancies. Before becoming pregnant, women should undergo a pre pregnancy physical examination to conceive a new life if their body is capable of conceiving. Maternal and child safety is the result that everyone hopes to see. Finally, I wish all mothers a relaxed and successful pregnancy!
