How long does it take to rule out ectopic pregnancy?

Ectopic pregnancy is a serious disease for women. The probability of this disease is also very high. After an ectopic pregnancy occurs, women may be checked to have implanted, but no baby is found in the uterus. At this time, the life and health of women will be seriously threatened. In addition, ectopic pregnancy surgery may cause heavy bleeding. So how long does it take to rule out ectopic pregnancy?

How long after pregnancy can an ectopic pregnancy be detected? An ectopic pregnancy can be simply understood as a pregnancy that does not occur in the uterus. Generally, a pregnancy should develop normally in the uterus. An ectopic pregnancy may be caused by blockage of the fallopian tubes or inflammation in the uterus, pelvis, or adnexa, causing the sperm and egg to combine outside the fallopian tube.

How long after pregnancy can an ectopic pregnancy be detected? There may be changes of varying degrees after an ectopic pregnancy occurs. Some patients will have irregular bleeding, some will have stomach pain, and some will not have any symptoms. This cannot be detected through a urine test. Generally, you need to go to the hospital for an ultrasound. Ectopic pregnancy can usually be diagnosed by ultrasound and blood HOG value around 40 days, and combined with clinical manifestations for diagnosis. It is recommended to deal with it early, otherwise, it is likely to lead to heavy bleeding or infertility. However, if it is discovered late, surgery will be required, while if it is discovered early, it can be controlled with medication. Ectopic pregnancy is also called ectopic pregnancy, which means that the fertilized egg implants and develops outside the uterine cavity. What we talk about most is fallopian tube pregnancy.

First, the early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy:

Amenorrhea: Most patients experience amenorrhea for 6 to 8 weeks, but some patients have no obvious amenorrhea, and some mistake vaginal bleeding for normal menstruation.

Abdominal pain: It is caused by the rupture of the fallopian tube, often with tearing pain on one side of the lower abdomen, accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and a feeling of anal distension. If there is excessive bleeding, the pain is unbearable.

Vaginal bleeding: There is often irregular vaginal bleeding, which is dark brown in color and small in amount, usually not exceeding the menstrual volume, and is always unclean.

Ectopic pregnancy is a more serious disease than miscarriage. As the fetus grows, the fallopian tube may rupture and cause heavy bleeding. It not only threatens the fetus, but more importantly, the life of the mother. Ectopic pregnancy can easily be confused with other abdominal pain problems, so care should be taken to distinguish them. The pain of ectopic pregnancy starts from the chest and gradually moves to the right lower abdomen; intestinal volvulus causes sudden abdominal pain and bloating; gallstones cause pain in the right upper abdomen. An ectopic pregnancy, that is, a ruptured pregnancy outside the uterus, causes severe lower abdominal pain and bleeding. Mild cases often cause syncope, while severe cases may experience shock.

Therefore, it is recommended that female friends go to a regular hospital for an ultrasound examination after becoming pregnant, so as to confirm whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible.
