Fallopian tube pregnancy, also known as ectopic pregnancy.
For severe ectopic pregnancy, especially when a tubal gestation has ruptured and caused the rupture of the tubes, surgical treatment should be actively pursued after the occurrence of a tubal gestation.
If ectopic pregnancy occurs and ruptures, how should it be investigated? Ectopic pregnancy is a relatively common form of gestational sac implantation and is considered a serious condition.
If it were to rupture, it could endanger the patient's life.
So, what kind of examination should be performed before a tubal pregnancy ruptures? 1. Color ultrasound examination.
This method is relatively intuitive and has a high accuracy rate.
Most importantly, it allows for repeated inspections.
Image examination in the uterus, and at the same time, characteristics of parauterine masses or hydrops in the uterorectal cavity.
If there is a pregnancy in the interstitial part of the fallopian tube, there may be a pregnancy sac wrapped in the thickened substrate before the pregnant egg breaks through to the muscularis, and its sound is very similar to that of a uterine remnant horn pregnancy, making it difficult to identify when it occurs.
2. HCG test.
Through examination, it can be determined whether the patient is pregnant.
If there is a pregnancy, it is generally advised for patients to undergo other examinations.
If it is a ruptured tubal pregnancy, the levels of hCG may be unstable.
3. Posterior Clivus Puncture Examination.
This kind of examination is also very intuitive and can usually confirm whether the pregnancy is in the uterus. If not, the problem will be found and dealt with in a timely manner.
4. Laparoscopy.
This kind of examination is relatively accurate, and it is particularly obvious for tubal pregnancy. It can accurately determine the specific condition of tubal pregnancy and then perform corresponding treatment.
What is a ruptured tubal pregnancy? Fallopian tube pregnancy is a type of ectopic pregnancy. At the same time, for women, ectopic pregnancy is particularly dangerous. If it ruptures, it will be life-threatening.
So, what exactly is a ruptured tubal pregnancy? 1. Ruptured tubal pregnancy is a rupture of ectopic pregnancy.
Fallopian tube pregnancy is a relatively common ectopic pregnancy. If a rupture occurs during the tubal pregnancy, it will cause massive pelvic bleeding and may be life-threatening.
2. Generally, tubal pregnancy ruptures occur, most of which occur within about six weeks of pregnancy.
This reason is due to the existence of isthmus pregnancy. If the embryo is implanted in the fallopian tube and can continue to invade like the muscle layer of the fallopian tube and grow, it will lead to rupture of the outer layer of the fallopian tube, which is also the serosa layer, and rupture of the fallopian tube pregnancy will occur.
Due to the rich vascularity of the myometrium, if it were to rupture, there would be a significant amount of peritoneal hemorrhage, accompanied by intense abdominal pain.
In severe cases, patients may suffer from hemorrhagic shock, posing a threat to their life safety.
4. If a ruptured fallopian tube is encountered, timely examination and treatment are necessary to prevent harm to the health. Therefore, during pregnancy, it is essential to actively seek medical examinations and confirm the diagnosis before proceeding with conception.
Symptoms of tubal pregnancy rupture include symptoms.
These symptoms can alert patients to seek timely hospital examinations to ensure their life safety.
What symptoms do occur after the rupture of an ectopic pregnancy in the fallopian tube? 1. Pain.
Many patients experience sudden abdominal pain, with an incidence rate of over 90%.
At the outset, there was a severe pain in the lower abdomen of the affected side, which felt like tearing. This pain then spread to all parts of the abdomen.
The degree and nature of pain are significantly related to the volume and speed of internal bleeding.
For example, if the rupture is extensive and there is a significant amount of hemorrhage, it can quickly stimulate the peritoneum, leading to severe abdominal pain that spreads throughout the entire abdomen.
2. Ovarian pregnancy can lead to amenorrhea, with the duration of amenorrhea being significantly influenced by the location of the ovarian pregnancy.
Patients with a uterine inversion at the isthmus or cervix often experience menstrual irregularities lasting about six weeks, which are accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain, rarely exceeding two to three months.
Normal menstruation is usually followed by bleeding several days later. When this occurs, it should be considered to be a tubal pregnancy.
3. Vaginal irregular bleeding, which occurs in cases of ectopic pregnancy where the fallopian tube is removed, can lead to endocrine changes, followed by a degenerative and necrotic change in the endometrium, resulting in decidualization, which may present as fragments or complete expulsion, thereby causing uterine bleeding.
4. Dizziness and shock, generally, patients with abdominal pain will have dizziness, vertigo, cold sweats, palpitations, and in some cases, even syncope.
The degree of fainting and shock is related to the speed and quantity of bleeding.
Self-examination for tubal pregnancy, after the occurrence of tubal pregnancy, patients can conduct self-examination to roughly determine their pregnancy status and then proceed to a hospital-based examination. This approach not only saves time but also allows for a more accurate identification of the pregnancy condition.
1. Many patients experience a brief amenorrhea prior to the onset of their illness, typically lasting about six weeks.
However, there are also some patients, due to cervical glandular tissue, who produce luteinizing hormones that cannot maintain endometrial tissue or, as the condition develops earlier, may misdiagnose pathological bleeding as menstruation, leading to an erroneous assumption that there is no history of amenorrhea.
2. The primary symptom of ectopic pregnancy when the tube ruptures is abdominal pain.
It happens at a probability of 95% and is usually sudden, with pain in one side of the lower abdomen, or episodic pain, along with nausea and vomiting.
When stimulating the diaphragm, it causes a radiating pain in the shoulder area.
In the process of self-diagnosis for an ectopic pregnancy, if irregular vaginal bleeding occurs, such as mostly in a spotty pattern, with a small amount and being deep brown, not exceeding menstrual flow.
Bleeding in the vagina is due to uterine decidual separation or fallopian tube bleeding that discharges into the uterus.
4. Some patients may experience shock, which is due to acute hemorrhage in the abdominal cavity and intense pain.
If the bleeding is excessive, and it occurs quickly, the symptoms will become more rapid and severe. It may also present with pallor, dizziness, hypotension, a thin pulse, cold sweats, and then there might be a risk of syncope and shock.
Ovulatory tubal pregnancy is a significant threat to women. In the event of such occurrences, active treatment is imperative to prevent further severe harm, and in some cases, even life-threatening complications. Therefore, it is crucial to pay close attention! How is ovulatory tubal pregnancy treated? Timely treatment is essential following the onset of ovulatory tubal pregnancy as it can cause significant harm if it ruptures.
For tubal pregnancy, there are several treatment options: 1. A certain outcome of tubal pregnancy is rupture or rupture of the fallopian tube.
Most cases require surgical intervention to remove the fallopian tubes and clear out the pregnancy tissue.
In the case of tubal pregnancy, most occur unilaterally.
2. In theory, there are two fallopian tubes. Even if one side of the fallopian tube is damaged or removed, one can still get pregnant in the future.
However, due to tubal pregnancies or ectopic pregnancies in other parts of the world, the vast majority of them occur on the basis of tubal or pelvic inflammation.
3. The patient has had an ectopic pregnancy. After treatment, a serious gynecological examination is needed. Three months after the ectopic pregnancy, a uterine examination or selective fallopian tube intubation angiography and recanalization examination and treatment should be performed. It is necessary to determine whether the fallopian tubes are unblocked before you can get pregnant again.
4. After tubal pregnancy occurs, timely treatment is needed to ensure the integrity of the other fallopian tube. At the same time, there is a better guarantee for the next pregnancy.
Therefore, patients with tubal gestation should actively undergo examinations and receive treatment.
After patients have a tubal pregnancy, they can conduct self-examination so that they can roughly determine their pregnancy status, and then go to the hospital for a specific examination. This can save time and more accurately detect the pregnancy status.
