There are still many reports on the Internet that people have ectopic pregnancies, so many expectant mothers are worried about whether they may also have ectopic pregnancies. So how do you get ectopic pregnancies? What are the situations where you are most likely to get ectopic pregnancies? Well, the editor of Babao.com will take you through it.
What situations are prone to ectopic pregnancy
[Multiple abortions]In modern times, due to the influence of foreign sexual culture Due to the impact of the epidemic, traditional concepts have also changed, with premarital sex and insufficient understanding of gynecological physiology and inflammation before and after marriage leading to an increase in abortions and ectopic pregnancies. The more abortions you have, the greater the chance of ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, regardless of whether they are pregnant or not, female friends should do a good job of contraception to prevent the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy.
[Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease]Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is an inflammation that can occur in the fallopian tubes or ovaries and other pelvic tissues. It is another important factor in the incidence of ectopic pregnancy. Women must not ignore it. This is a common gynecological disease. Because salpingitis can narrow the lumen of the tube, it is difficult for the fertilized egg to enter the uterine cavity, so it has to camp in the fallopian tube or ovary. Therefore, any woman of childbearing age should pay attention to personal hygiene and eliminate a history of unclean sexual life. Reduce the occurrence of pelvic inflammatory disease and minimize the incidence of ectopic pregnancy.
[Intrauterine device (intrauterine device)]According to medical textbooks, about 3% of women who have the IUD will still become pregnant, even if they have the IUD. Ring, abdominal pain symptoms should also consider ectopic pregnancy. Some people experience diarrhea because intra-abdominal bleeding stimulates the intestines, causing intestinal peristalsis to accelerate and cause diarrhea. Therefore, as long as women of childbearing age have abdominal pain, they must first rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.
[History of ectopic pregnancy] Women who have had a history of ectopic pregnancy are more likely to have another ectopic pregnancy. When another ectopic pregnancy occurs, it may occur in both fallopian tubes. Therefore, it is emphasized that sisters who are not ready to have a baby must take contraceptive measures.
[In vitro fertilization]Normal pregnancy can lead to ectopic pregnancy, and similarly, in vitro fertilization can also lead to ectopic pregnancy. According to statistics, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy in IVF is 5%-8%. Because when the fertilized egg is placed into the uterine cavity on the third day, it still needs to wait 3 to 4 days to find the suitable \”soil\”. During this period, endometritis and other factors may damage the uterine cavity, and the fertilized egg will move to the fallopian tube to live, causing ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, when preparing for in vitro fertilization, gynecological diseases should be treated first, to prevent the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy.
[Fallopian tube inflammation]About 60% of fallopian tube pregnancies have a history of salpingitis. Recurrent chronic salpingitis causes the fallopian tube mucosal folds to become adherent, the tube lumen to be narrow, the cilia to be damaged, or the fallopian tube to be twisted due to inflammation and adhesion to surrounding tissues, preventing normal peristalsis. All of these can hinder the normal operation of the fertilized egg and prevent the fertilized egg from being fertilized as scheduled. It reaches the uterine cavity and implants in the fallopian tube.
There are also cases where the fallopian tubes are underdeveloped, malformed, too long or have diverticula. In addition, the fallopian tube may be displaced or deformed due to the compression of tumors in adjacent organs, and there may be ectopic endometrium in the fallopian tube.
[Abnormal fallopian tube development or after fallopian tube surgery]Excessive fallopian tube length, lack of mucociliation, recanalization after fallopian tube ligation, falloplasty, etc. may all cause Tubal pregnancy.
【Migration of fertilized eggs】 It means that one ovary ovulates, but after fertilization, it migrates through the uterine cavity or abdominal cavity to the opposite fallopian tube. Because the pregnant egg gradually grows during the migration process, when it cannot pass through the fallopian tube, that is, when it implants in the fallopian tube, a fallopian tube pregnancy occurs.
What are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy
1: Ectopic pregnancy usually occurs between the reproductive years of 20-40 years old, and can also occur over the age of 40. .
2: Amenorrhea: Fallopian tube pregnancy usually causes amenorrhea for 2-3 months.
3: Some patients may have early pregnancy symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and partial eclipse.
4: Abdominal pain: Most patients seek medical treatment due to sudden abdominal pain after 2-3 months of amenorrhea. It starts with severe pain in the lower abdomen on the affected side, such as a tearing feeling, and then may spread to the entire abdomen. The degree of pain The nature is related to the amount and speed of internal blood
How to prevent ectopic pregnancy
1. Pregnancy and correct contraception
Choose a time when both parties are in good mood and physical condition to get pregnant. If you are not considering becoming a mother for the time being, you should use contraception. Good contraception fundamentally prevents the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy.
2. Timely treatmentTreatment of reproductive system diseases
Inflammation is the main culprit causing fallopian tube stenosis. Intrauterine operations such as artificial abortion increase the chance of inflammation and endometrium entering the fallopian tube, which in turn leads to fallopian tube adhesion and stenosis. Increased likelihood of ectopic pregnancy. Reproductive system diseases such as uterine fibroids and endometriosis may also change the shape and function of the fallopian tubes. Timely treatment of these diseases can reduce the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy.
3. Try in vitro fertilization
If there has been an ectopic pregnancy before, the possibility of another ectopic pregnancy is enough to destroy a woman\’s confidence in motherhood. In vitro fertilization is an option. After the sperm and egg are successfully \”mated\” outside the body, the fertilized egg can be returned to the mother\’s uterus for safe pregnancy.
4. Pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, delivery and puerperium to prevent infections of the reproductive system. Identify the location of pregnancy as soon as possible after menopause and detect ectopic pregnancy in time.
How to care for ectopic pregnancy after surgery
Diet and daily maintenance:
Avoid heavy physical labor and reduce abdominal pressure. Ensure protein intake. Within half a month after surgery, protein should be 1.5 to 2 grams per kilogram of body weight, with a daily amount of about 100 to 150 grams. You can eat more chicken, lean pork, eggs, milk, beans, and bean products. After surgery, your body will be weak and prone to sweating. Please replenish water in small amounts and multiple times to reduce water evaporation. Sweat excretes more vitamin C, vitamin B1, and vitamin B2. You should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, which can also soften stool and make it easier to pass.
Hygienic maintenance:
Keep the vulva clean regularly to protect the fallopian tubes from inflammation and prevent bacterial infection. Do not use special products to clean the vulva to avoid destroying the normal micro-ecological flora in the vagina. The correct way is to wash it with clean warm water every day. Change underwear every day to ensure it is clean and dry, pay attention to menstrual hygiene, and prevent infection. When your resistance is low, go to public places as little as possible, and keep warm to prevent colds.
Contraceptive maintenance:
For patients who have given birth, if the B-ultrasound shows that the lump has disappeared, it can be treated at the same time. If you are not pregnant and are planning to get pregnant again, you need to have a B-ultrasound to indicate that the lump has disappeared, then do fallopian tube fluid drainage, and then prepare for pregnancy after both fallopian tubes are unblocked.
Physical examination and maintenance:
Regular check-ups at the hospital, one month after discharge or after menstruation is clear, return to the hospital for examination and review B-ultrasound.
