Ectopic pregnancy is a non uterine ectopic pregnancy and a dangerous acute abdomen in gynecology. Due to changes in lifestyle and dietary habits, the incidence of ectopic pregnancy is increasing, becoming a hidden killer for pregnant women. So how to rule out ectopic pregnancy? From three aspects, early symptoms, high-risk population, and medical examination, as long as you stay away from these three aspects, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy is highly ruled out. Let's take a look together.
Early symptoms
1. Abdominal pain, mainly lower abdominal pain, with a feeling of defecation, sometimes severe pain, accompanied by cold sweat dripping. If rupture occurs, the patient will suddenly feel tearing pain in one side of the lower abdomen, accompanied by symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
2. Menstruation occurs, similar to early pregnancy symptoms, and examination will reveal normal enlargement of the fallopian tubes.
3. Vaginal bleeding may cause minor symptoms of vaginal bleeding, and it is also necessary to prevent threatened miscarriage.
4. Fainting and shock, many patients may experience reduced blood volume or severe abdominal pain due to acute intra-abdominal bleeding. Mild cases may result in fainting, while severe cases may lead to shock, which can be life-threatening.
High incidence population
1. People with a history of ectopic pregnancy have a high probability of experiencing another ectopic pregnancy.
2. The more abortions a person undergoes, the greater the risk of ectopic pregnancy. Because pelvic endometriosis is a risk factor for ectopic pregnancy.
3. For patients with appendicitis perforation, appendiceal perforation is a periappendiceal abscess that causes damage to the fallopian tubes, blocking them and leading to ectopic pregnancy.
Medical examination
1. Human chorionic gonadotropin (β - hCG) is a very sensitive indicator for detecting pregnancy. By monitoring the value of β - hCG, abnormal pregnancy, especially ectopic pregnancy, can be detected.
2. Vaginal ultrasound examination helps to understand whether pregnancy has occurred in a normal position within the uterus, whether there are lumps around the uterus, and whether there is fluid accumulation in the pelvic and abdominal cavities, thereby determining whether there is internal bleeding.
From the above three factors, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy can be ruled out. However, for safety reasons, if a woman discovers that she is pregnant, she must go to a regular hospital for a detailed examination about one month after pregnancy to confirm that it is a normal intrauterine pregnancy and rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, mothers should not worry too much and seek timely treatment under the guidance of a doctor. They will definitely overcome the disease.
