EXTRAUTERINE PREGNANCY

Types

A tubal pregnancy happens when the egg has embedded in the fallopian tube. This is the most widely recognized type of ectopic pregnancy, and most ectopic pregnancies are tubal pregnancies.

A non-tubal ectopic pregnancy happens in about two percent of every single ectopic pregnancy. It happens in different areas like the ovary, the cervix or the intraabdominal region.

Heterotopic pregnancy is an uncommon case when the fertilized egg embeds inside the uterus and another develops outside of it. The ectopic pregnancy is usually found before the intrauterine pregnancy, mainly because of the painful symptom of ectopic pregnancy.

Symptoms

You may not see anything at first. In any case, a few women with an ectopic pregnancy have the typical early signs or symptoms of pregnancy — a missed period, breast tenderness and nausea.

Early signs of ectopic pregnancy are the following:

• Pelvic pain
• Light vaginal bleeding may likewise happen

Emergency symptoms:

• Extraordinary dizziness
• Fainting
• Extreme abdominal pain

Diagnosis

A pelvic exam can enable your doctor to distinguish areas of pain, sensitivity, or a mass in the fallopian tube or ovary. However, the doctor can’t diagnose an ectopic pregnancy by just examining you. You’ll require blood tests and a ultrasound.

Tests may include:

• Pregnancy test
• Ultrasound
• Transvaginal ultrasound
• Abdominal ultrasound

Treatment

A fertile egg can’t grow normally outside the uterus. To counteract the risk, the ectopic tissue should be expelled.

• Laparoscopic procedure- In this technique, a little hole is made in the abdominal area, close to or in the navel. Next, your doctor utilizes a small tube outfitted with a camera and light (laparoscope) to see the tubal
• Medicines
• Emergency surgery
