एक्टोपिक प्रेग्नेंसी क्या हैं

Pregnancy begins with a fertilized egg. Normally, the fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus. An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the main cavity of the uterus. An ectopic pregnancy most often occurs in a fallopian tube, which carries eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. This type of ectopic pregnancy is called atubal pregnancy.

What is the main cause of ectopic pregnancy?

A tubal pregnancy — the most common type of ectopic pregnancy — happens when a fertilized egg gets stuck on its way to the uterus, often because the fallopian tube is damaged by inflammation or is misshapen. Hormonal imbalances or abnormal development of the fertilized egg also might play a role.

Can a woman still have a baby with an ectopic pregnancy?

Most women who experience ectopic pregnancy and treatment will achieve a successful pregnancy in the future, even if they’ve lost one fallopian tube as part of the therapy. There is a 10% risk of recurrence, which is why it’s important to work with your health care team when planning for a future pregnancy.

Can ectopic pregnancy resolve itself?

If you have no symptoms or mild symptoms and the pregnancy is very small or can’t be found, you may only need to be closely monitored, as there’s a good chance the pregnancy will dissolve by itself. This is known as expectant management.

Is ectopic surgery painful?

One of the most common physical side-effects of ectopic pregnancy operation is pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen, pelvis, or shoulder. This pain can be severe and may require pain medication for relief.

Can a blood test detect ectopic pregnancy?

This can be a useful way of identifying ectopic pregnancies that aren’t found during an ultrasound scan, as the level of hCG tends to be lower and rise more slowly over time than in a normal pregnancy. The results of the test can also be useful in determining the best treatment for an ectopic pregnancy.
