For female friends, the term ectopic pregnancy is not unfamiliar. If a woman is found to have an ectopic pregnancy after pregnancy, it is necessary to terminate the pregnancy in a timely manner. Otherwise, it will cause significant harm to women's bodies. Therefore, it is necessary to observe the physical condition of women. So, when do ectopic pregnancies usually have symptoms?
As the name suggests, ectopic pregnancy means that after a woman becomes pregnant, the fertilized egg implants in a location outside the uterine cavity. Usually, if there is an ectopic pregnancy, the gestational sac cannot be seen in the uterine cavity during the B-ultrasound examination at the hospital around 35 to 40 days after pregnancy. In addition, patients also have obvious symptoms, such as pain and bloating, as well as vaginal bleeding. In severe cases, they may also experience fainting or shock.
Ectopic pregnancy may also be confused with some other conditions, so it is important to distinguish between them. The pain of ectopic pregnancy usually starts from the chest and gradually spreads to the lower right abdomen, where there is a severe sensation of pain. At this point, a clear judgment needs to be made and another blood HCG test needs to be performed.
Ectopic pregnancy is a very serious disease for women. If left untreated, as the fetus grows, the lives of both the fetus and the mother will be threatened. Therefore, if diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy, early abortion surgery is necessary to terminate the pregnancy.
