The pregnancy of women is a very difficult and dangerous thing. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that a mother is one of the greatest people in the world. In fact, during the early stages of pregnancy, women need to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. After excluding ectopic pregnancy, successful conception can be achieved. So when should we do an ultrasound to rule out ectopic pregnancy?
1、 How long does it take to have an ultrasound to rule out ectopic pregnancy during pregnancy
In fact, if there is no vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy, there is no need to undergo B-ultrasound to expel ectopic pregnancy. Generally, it is not an ectopic pregnancy, and doing B-ultrasound in the early stages of pregnancy is not beneficial for the fetus.
If you want to do B-ultrasound to eliminate ectopic pregnancy, the earliest time is at least 10 days after menstruation. Through ultrasound examination, you can diagnose whether the gestational sac is in the uterine cavity, which can eliminate the condition of ectopic pregnancy. However, due to the short duration, the gestational sac may not be fully developed, so the results may not be very accurate.
Usually, the gestational sac can be seen between 8-12 weeks of pregnancy, and a B-ultrasound examination during this period can determine whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. However, it is also possible that the gestational sac cannot be detected due to late implantation or development. So for the sake of insurance, you can wait until your menstrual cycle is delayed for more than seven days before going to the hospital to check for ectopic pregnancy.
2、 What to do with early ectopic pregnancy?
Regarding early ectopic pregnancy, experts point out that the treatment principle for ectopic pregnancy is mainly surgical treatment, and there are two surgical methods for surgical treatment: one is to remove the affected fallopian tube; One is conservative surgery that preserves the affected fallopian tube.
If it is a relatively young woman, experts recommend choosing conservative surgery for ectopic pregnancy. In recent years, due to the improvement of diagnostic techniques, the number of cases diagnosed with tubal pregnancy before miscarriage or rupture has increased, resulting in a significant increase in the use of conservative surgery compared to the past. Select the surgical procedure based on the implantation site of the fertilized egg and the condition of the fallopian tube lesions. If it is a umbrella pregnancy, compression can be used to squeeze out the pregnancy product; During ampulla pregnancy, the fallopian tubes are cut open to extract the embryo and then sutured; Perform segmental resection and end-to-end anastomosis of the lesion during isthmus pregnancy. If microsurgical techniques are used in surgery, it can improve the pregnancy rate in the future. Conservative surgery can also be performed through laparoscopy, in addition to open surgery.
The most effective method for treating ectopic pregnancy at present is gynecological minimally invasive technology. Choosing minimally invasive technology to treat ectopic pregnancy can also ensure good treatment results and avoid incomplete treatment.
This article provides a detailed introduction on when to exclude the possibility of ectopic pregnancy through ultrasound examination. As a pregnant woman, it is important to actively go to the hospital for an ultrasound to exclude ectopic pregnancy. It is best to choose between 8-12 weeks after pregnancy because early detection and treatment of ectopic pregnancy can reduce the suffering of women.
