What is the cause of bleeding after ectopic pregnancy surgery?

Do you know about ectopic pregnancy? Do you know what ectopic pregnancy is? Ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilized egg implants and develops outside the uterus, so it is abnormal. Under normal circumstances, it is normal inside the uterus. Therefore, ectopic pregnancy requires timely surgery to ensure that the adult's life is not threatened. So what is the truth about bleeding after ectopic pregnancy surgery? Let's find out below.

Ectopic pregnancy bleeding occurs after the death of the embryo, and there is often irregular vaginal bleeding, which is dark brown in color and small in amount, generally not exceeding the amount of menstruation. Bleeding is often accompanied by the discharge of decidual tubular or decidual fragments. When the lesion is eliminated, the bleeding may stop completely. The bleeding during menstruation is discharged without decidual tissue.

The second difference between ectopic pregnancy bleeding and menstruation: The abdominal pain caused by menstruation only appears in the lower abdomen, and occasionally extends to the surrounding area. However, the pain of ectopic pregnancy is when the fallopian tube pregnancy occurs miscarriage or rupture, and the pregnant woman suddenly feels a tearing pain in one side of the lower abdomen, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. If blood accumulates in the diseased area, it will manifest as pain in the lower abdomen on one side. If the blood flows to the entire abdomen, the pain will spread to the entire abdomen. When the blood stimulates the diaphragm, it can cause radiating pain between the shoulder blades.

The third difference between ectopic pregnancy bleeding and menstruation: acute intra-abdominal bleeding and severe abdominal pain, which can cause syncope in mild cases and shock in severe cases. The severity is proportional to the rate and amount of intra-abdominal bleeding, but not proportional to the amount of vaginal bleeding. Menstrual pain is rarely severe enough to cause shock. It can also be observed that there will be 6-8 weeks of amenorrhea before ectopic pregnancy.

If ectopic pregnancy bleeding is found, in order to avoid and prevent the occurrence of iatrogenic infertility, the hospital will use hysteroscopy to extract embryos for those with multiple miscarriages or infertility to reduce damage to the uterine cavity. For women who want to have children or have had multiple miscarriages, if they have to have an abortion, it is recommended that they choose hysteroscopic embryo retrieval. This surgery is direct vision, painless, minimally invasive, and integrates diagnosis and treatment, making it the best choice for women.

The above are the reasons for bleeding after ectopic pregnancy surgery. I hope the above content can serve as a reminder to expectant fathers and mothers, especially in the early stages of pregnancy, to do a good job of examination and go to the hospital for regular physical examinations. If any abnormalities occur, you must go to the hospital for treatment, because only good treatment methods can make pregnant women healthy.
