What causes ectopic pregnancy?

Ectopic pregnancy is a very common phenomenon. As we all know, a woman's ovulation period is generally from the seventh day before the menstruation to the eighth day after the menstruation is over. If you have sex during the ovulation period, the egg and sperm will combine to form a fertilized egg, which will enter the uterine cavity through the fallopian tube and develop into a fetus in the uterine cavity. If the fertilized egg takes the wrong path on the way to the uterine cavity, an ectopic pregnancy will occur.

Ectopic pregnancy, also known as ectopic pregnancy, is usually caused by the fertilized egg staying in the fallopian tube. The fertilized egg cannot develop into a fetus in the fallopian tube and can cause danger like a time bomb.

I hope that pregnant women can detect and treat the early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy as early as possible:

1. Abdominal pain: pain in the lower abdomen, a feeling of defecation, sometimes severe pain, accompanied by cold sweat. When rupture occurs, the patient suddenly feels tearing pain in one side of the lower abdomen, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting.

2. Amenorrhea: Before miscarriage or rupture of tubal pregnancy, symptoms and signs are not obvious. In addition to short-term amenorrhea and pregnancy symptoms, sometimes there is bloating and pain in one side of the lower abdomen. During examination, the fallopian tubes may be normal or enlarged.

3. Vaginal bleeding: usually a small amount of bleeding.

4. Syncope and shock: Due to acute intra-abdominal bleeding, it may cause decreased blood volume and severe abdominal pain. Mild cases often experience syncope, while severe cases may experience shock.

5. Other symptoms: may include nausea, vomiting, and frequent urination. The symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are often atypical. Some patients may go into shock due to heavy bleeding, become pale, and have low blood pressure.

Women of childbearing age may experience delayed menstruation, sometimes accompanied by early pregnancy symptoms such as anorexia and nausea, indicating that they are pregnant but suddenly experience lower abdominal pain. Some patients have irregular vaginal bleeding, which is generally less than the menstrual volume. Therefore, the typical symptoms of ectopic pregnancy can be summarized into three major symptoms, namely: amenorrhea, abdominal pain, and vaginal bleeding.

Generally speaking, women who have frequent abortions or have a history of ectopic pregnancy are more likely to suffer from ectopic pregnancy. If you experience the above symptoms or belong to the susceptible population, you must be extra careful. If you find any problems, you should go to a regular hospital for examination in time. If it is confirmed to be an ectopic pregnancy, you must seek treatment early. Generally, surgical treatment is required, and the surgical cure rate can reach 100%.
