How to effectively prevent the occurrence of early ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy is very harmful to women. Experts recommend that women should do a good job of prenatal and postnatal checkups. So how to effectively prevent the occurrence of early ectopic pregnancy? What are the early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy? The following editor will take you to learn more about it.

What is an ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy is the common name for ectopic pregnancy. As we all know, a normal pregnancy should be that the sperm and egg meet and combine in the fallopian tube to form a fertilized egg, then swim to the uterus, implant in the uterus and develop into a fetus. However, due to some reasons, some fertilized eggs "set up camp" somewhere other than the uterine cavity, thus forming an ectopic pregnancy. The vast majority of ectopic pregnancies occur in the fallopian tube. After the fertilized egg stays in the fallopian tube, it continues to develop, gradually implants into the fallopian tube wall to absorb nutrients and grow rapidly, affecting the uterus and other organs in the abdominal cavity, causing pain in pregnant women. If not discovered and treated early, the fallopian tube affected by the embryo may be ruptured, causing heavy gynecological bleeding, which puts the patient's life in danger.

What are the early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

Menstruation

Most patients will experience amenorrhea after an ectopic pregnancy, but only pregnancy in the fallopian tube interstitial region may cause a longer history of amenorrhea. Although ectopic pregnancy is also considered a type of pregnancy, 20% to 30% of women still do not have obvious signs of amenorrhea.

stomach ache

This is the most obvious symptom of ectopic pregnancy in women. It is common for female patients to go to the hospital for treatment because they cannot bear the excruciating abdominal pain and find out that it is ectopic pregnancy. The pain usually occurs on one side of the lower abdomen, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting and other symptoms, which are similar to the early symptoms of appendicitis.

Bleeding

The patient will experience irregular bleeding in the lower body with small amount, dark color, and continuous bleeding. He will also experience internal bleeding, dizziness, and in severe cases, shock.

Shoulder pain

If a woman experiences unexplained shoulder pain when lying down, it may be the result of internal bleeding irritating the nerves. It is recommended that she go to the hospital for examination in time.

Ectopic pregnancy may have a lifelong impact on women's reproductive function. If you don't want to regret it for the rest of your life, female compatriots must not ignore the above symptoms, so as not to miss the best time to treat ectopic pregnancy.

What are the causes of ectopic pregnancy?

Repeated flow of people

Nowadays, fashionable young people are becoming more and more open-minded about "sex", and premarital sex seems to be becoming a popular trend. Although various abortion technologies are becoming more and more advanced, and there are more and more gynecological treatment methods, the harm of repeated abortions and medical abortions to the body is inevitable. Women who do not want children must take good contraceptive measures. According to some research data, the more abortions a woman has, the greater the chance of ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, women friends should take good care of themselves, especially some young girls with little experience, and do not squander their bodies relying on their youth, otherwise it will be too late to regret in the future.

Chronic fallopian tube inflammation

This type of disease is one of the most common causes of ectopic pregnancy. Mild inflammation can cause the space inside the fallopian tube to narrow, affecting the peristalsis of the tube. The fertilized egg lacks power during the transfer and is likely to be blocked and stay there. As the inflammation worsens, the environment inside the fallopian tube may become worse and worse, and in severe cases it may be completely blocked, causing ectopic pregnancy or infertility.

Fallopian tube dysplasia

Symptoms such as dysplasia or abnormalities of the fallopian tube may be the cause of ectopic pregnancy, such as: too long fallopian tubes, poor myometrial development, double fallopian tubes, etc. Such reasons always make patients feel that they are hard to guard against.

How to prevent ectopic pregnancy

The principle of preventing ectopic pregnancy is to actively prevent and treat diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease and reduce the incidence of chronic salpingitis;

Patients with a history of fallopian tube surgery who wish to become pregnant should be closely monitored and try to conceive under the guidance of a doctor;

Women who use intrauterine devices for contraception should have regular checkups as required and receive prompt treatment if pelvic inflammation is found;

For patients with reproductive organ tumors, the location and nature of the tumor should be clarified, and the doctor's advice should be followed to treat the tumor reasonably in order to achieve the best reproductive prognosis.

Try "in vitro fertilization": If you have had an ectopic pregnancy before, the possibility of having another ectopic pregnancy will be relatively high. In order to reduce the risk of ectopic pregnancy, you can choose in vitro fertilization. After the sperm and egg are conceived in vitro, the fertilized egg can be sent back to the mother's uterus for safe development.

Pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, delivery and postpartum period to prevent infection of the reproductive system. If the disease has already occurred, you should go to the hospital in time for infusion and blood transfusion and undergo laparotomy immediately.
