Ectopic pregnancy, like molar pregnancy, is an abnormal pregnancy. If not detected and treated in a timely manner, it can seriously endanger women's physical health and fertility. Ectopic pregnancy mainly refers to the failure of the fertilized egg to develop normally in the uterine cavity, but there are still some women who are not familiar with ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, it is asked whether early pregnancy can be detected?
Ectopic pregnancy generally does not have obvious symptoms in the early stages of pregnancy, as successful fertilization can cause changes in hormone levels in the female body. Therefore, women may also experience early pregnancy symptoms such as menstrual cessation, nausea, vomiting, breast tenderness, etc. However, the degree of early pregnancy symptoms may be slightly milder than that of normal pregnant women, so early pregnancy cannot be detected.
As the fertilized egg continues to develop and the implantation site expands, women may experience pain on one side of the lower abdomen and irregular vaginal bleeding. Once the implantation site ruptures, there will be massive bleeding in the abdominal cavity, accompanied by severe abdominal pain and nausea and vomiting. Mild cases may cause fainting, while severe cases may result in hemorrhagic shock, coma, or even life-threatening situations.
If women suspect ectopic pregnancy in the early stages of pregnancy, they should immediately go to the hospital for abdominal ultrasound (to observe whether there is a gestational sac in the uterine cavity) and blood HCG measurement (the HCG content in the body is lower than the standard data) diagnosis. Once diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy, conservative surgery or resection should be considered based on the woman's age, fertility requirements, and other factors.
