I believe everyone is familiar with ectopic pregnancy, which is a very dangerous pregnancy state caused by abnormal implantation position of the fertilized egg. Everyone must pay attention to ectopic pregnancy, and it is best to detect and treat it early to avoid serious harm to the body. So, can ultrasound of the uterine adnexa detect ectopic pregnancy?
Whether ectopic pregnancy can be detected through ultrasound examination of the uterine adnexa depends on the specific situation. If the fertilized egg implants in the attachment, it can be detected. If the fertilized egg implants and undergoes uterine adnexal ultrasound examination in the cervix and abdominal cavity, ectopic pregnancy cannot be detected.
When women experience ectopic pregnancy, the fertilized egg mostly implants in the fallopian tube. At this time, ultrasound examination can easily detect it, and immediate treatment should be sought. For ectopic pregnancies in the fallopian tube area, it is best to undergo tubal fenestration surgery, which causes minimal harm to women and will not affect future pregnancies.
Pregnant women should be alert to ectopic pregnancy, especially when experiencing symptoms such as anal bloating, abdominal pain, bleeding, etc. Moreover, when pregnant women have insufficient progesterone in their bodies, it may also be caused by ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, when a low progesterone level is detected, an ultrasound examination should be performed immediately to confirm the position of the gestational sac and rule out ectopic pregnancy.
