What is ectopic pregnancy? How can women prevent ectopic pregnancy?

　　Normally, the fertilized egg migrates from the fallopian tube to Uterus cavity, then settled down, and slowly developed into fetus . However, due to various reasons, something went wrong during the migration of the fertilized egg. Instead of reaching the uterus, it stayed somewhere else. This became Ectopic pregnancy , also called in medical terms ectopic pregnancy . More than 90% of ectopic pregnancies occur in the fallopian tube. Not only can such a fertilized egg fail to develop into a normal fetus, it can also cause danger like a time bomb.

　　Ectopic pregnancy refers to a pregnancy in which a fertilized egg implants and develops outside the uterine cavity, also known as "ectopic pregnancy". More common in infertility, suffering from salpingitis or those who have undergone fallopian tube repair surgery female . In recent years, ectopic pregnancy has become increasingly common among younger people. What causes ectopic pregnancy? How to effectively prevent ectopic pregnancy before pregnancy?

　　What is an ectopic pregnancy?

　　An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg, which normally fertilizes in the fallopian tube, travels and finally implants in the uterine cavity. The uterine cavity provides sufficient space and a rich blood supply for the growth and development of the fertilized egg. The fertilized egg "camps" outside the uterine cavity for some reason, which means that 95% of ectopic pregnancies are in the fallopian tube, and some are in the ovary and abdominal cavity.

　　Any pregnancy in which a pregnant egg implants in any part of the body other than the uterine cavity is collectively called an ectopic pregnancy, commonly known as an ectopic pregnancy. Depending on the site of implantation, there are fallopian tube pregnancy, ovarian pregnancy , abdominal pregnancy, cervical pregnancy and uterine rudimentary pregnancy, etc.

　　For women with ectopic pregnancies, it is difficult for the fetus in their belly to develop. Not only that, it also poses a threat to women’s lives. Ectopic pregnancy is not unpreventable. So, how to prevent ectopic pregnancy before pregnancy? Now please invite Beijing 466 Hospital Gynecology Let’s ask an expert to introduce it.

　　Symptoms of ectopic pregnancy

　　About a quarter of patients with ectopic pregnancies still experience a small amount of bleeding. Many women mistake it for normal menstruation and delay the diagnosis. Therefore, if your menstrual flow is light or the menstrual condition is different from before, you should take a pregnancy test yourself or cooperate with a doctor to rule out the possibility of pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy.

　　Women of childbearing age, menstrual period, sometimes accompanied by anorexia, nausea and other early pregnancy reactions, indicating that they are pregnant but suddenly appear stomach ache , persistent or recurring attacks, which may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, anal prolapse and other discomforts. In severe cases, the patient may look pale, break out in cold sweats, have cold limbs, or even suffer from syncope and shock. Some patients have irregular vaginal bleeding, which is generally less than menstrual flow (be careful not to mistake this for menstruation). Therefore, the typical symptoms of ectopic pregnancy can be summarized into three major symptoms, namely: amenorrhea, abdominal pain, and vaginal bleeding.

　　Ectopic pregnancy is a dangerous acute abdominal disease in gynecology, and one must be highly vigilant against it. Once the above phenomena occur, you should immediately go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis. And provide timely rescue to reduce or prevent abdominal bleeding and avoid serious consequences due to excessive bleeding.

　　Will ectopic pregnancy cause early pregnancy reactions?

　　Ectopic pregnancy, also known as ectopic pregnancy, is a pregnancy caused by the fertilized egg implanting outside the uterus. Ectopic pregnancy is extremely harmful. Early detection and early treatment of ectopic pregnancy are very important. Will ectopic pregnancy cause early pregnancy reactions?

　　Although ectopic pregnancy is not a normal pregnancy, it is still conception after all. Therefore, ectopic pregnancy will also cause early pregnancy reactions, and some patients with ectopic pregnancy will still experience early pregnancy symptoms. In addition to early pregnancy reactions, patients with ectopic pregnancy may also experience the following very typical symptoms:

　　1. Menopause: Most patients have a history of short-term menopause before ectopic pregnancy occurs, and at the same time have early pregnancy reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, etc., and the pregnancy test may be positive.；

　　2. Diarrhea: Patients with ectopic pregnancy will also have diarrhea symptoms. If the condition is not carefully analyzed, it can easily be considered to be indigestion or intestinal emergency.；

　　3. Vaginal bleeding: After the death of the embryo, there is often irregular vaginal bleeding, mostly in the form of drops, dark brown in color, small in amount, generally no more than menstrual flow, and dripping.；

　　4. Pale complexion: In the short term, the complexion becomes bloodless and pale as paper, accompanied by dry mouth, palpitations, cold sensitivity, and fatigue.；

　　5. Abdominal pain: Its incidence rate is 95%. Abdominal pain is caused by various factors such as fallopian tube expansion, rupture, and blood irritation of the peritoneum. It is often a sudden tearing or paroxysmal pain on one side of the lower abdomen, accompanied by nausea and vomiting.；

　　6. Syncope and shock: Acute intra-abdominal bleeding can cause reduced blood volume and severe abdominal pain. In mild cases, syncope is common, and in severe cases, shock occurs.

　　Jumping rope can effectively prevent ectopic pregnancy

　　In some fitness projects, rope skipping has prominent effects on improving physical fitness and all-round fitness. Rope skipping can prevent ectopic pregnancy, mainly because skipping rope can enhance the function of organs, including reproductive organs, and is an effective "fallopian tube gymnastics".

　　The up and down motion of the body when skipping rope can shake the internal organs in the body, and can also have a tremor and massage effect on the uterus and its surrounding ligaments and mesentery. As for the fallopian tubes and ovaries, which are arranged laterally and are relatively free in the abdominal cavity, they have both rhythmic tremors and a stretching effect; it is equivalent to "doing gymnastics". The health-care effect of this "fallopian tube gymnastics" is difficult to be replaced by other methods. “The biological laws of "life lies in movement" and "use it or lose it" are also suitable for internal reproductive organs such as fallopian tubes. Continuous and regular "fallopian tube gymnastics" is a suitable stimulus; it can activate microcirculation, provide sufficient nutrients and oxygen, and enhance metabolism. The appropriate stimulation of regular rope skipping is very helpful for the growth and development of smooth muscles, secretory cells and other tissue structures of internal reproductive organs such as fallopian tubes in adolescent women, and promotes the soundness and perfection of functions. For women of childbearing age, it can especially enhance the peristalsis of the fallopian tubes, promote the secretion of hormones and other assisted reproductive fluids, and ensure the functions of "receiving", "inviting" and "delivering" eggs, sperms and fertilized eggs, thereby avoiding the possibility of the fertilized eggs being blocked from reaching the uterine cavity, implanting, developing and forming a fallopian tube pregnancy. Rope skipping is very beneficial to the health of the reproductive system and the maintenance of its perfect function.

　　In addition, because skipping has all-round fitness benefits, it can comprehensively enhance physical fitness and enhance the functions of the heart, lungs, neuro-endocrine and motor systems, which is also a factor in reducing ectopic pregnancy.

　　Some people use precision instruments to monitor the ovulation process and find that beating the body up and down can promote the egg to enter the fallopian tube opening more smoothly and accurately. It strongly proves the health-care effect of "fallopian tube gymnastics".

　　By the way, it is best not to jump within 20 hours after the sperm enters the body; for fear of affecting the combination of the sperm and the egg. Otherwise, just dance.

　　How to prevent ectopic pregnancy before pregnancy? The above is an introduction to this. Ectopic pregnancy is a dangerous acute abdominal disease in gynecology, and women must be highly vigilant about it. Prevention is the best way to avoid ectopic pregnancy.

　　Prevention and health care

　　Since ectopic pregnancy is a very dangerous disease, it is necessary to maintain a high degree of vigilance against it and practice health care to prevent and treat ectopic pregnancy in daily life to reduce the chance of ectopic pregnancy or prevent serious consequences.

　　1. Actively prevent and treat salpingitis. Since the common cause of ectopic pregnancy is chronic salpingitis, it is very important to prevent and treat salpingitis. Pay attention to hygiene during postpartum, post-abortion and menstrual periods to prevent infection, and timely and thorough treatment is required to avoid future troubles.

　　2. Temporary emergency health care. After the fallopian tube pregnancy is diagnosed, blood transfusion should be performed immediately to supplement the blood loss, and laparotomy should be performed to remove the lesions.

　　3. Conservative treatment and health care to preserve fertility function. For some mild patients, if there is not much internal bleeding and the general condition is good, non-surgical treatment options that combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine can be applied. Non-surgical treatment must also be performed in the hospital, and blood pressure and pulse must be closely observed, and preparations for surgery should be made to prevent accidents that are too late to rescue. If the condition does not improve, surgical treatment should be performed immediately.

　　Ectopic pregnancy can be complicated by amenorrhea, abdominal pain, irregular vaginal bleeding, and shock.
