No woman who has the opportunity to have children is immune from the risk of having an ectopic pregnancy. The essence of this pathology is to attach a fertilized egg in the wrong place, namely in the ovaries, the fallopian tube and even in the abdominal cavity.
In the presence of serious enough complications, no pronounced signs of an ectopic pregnancy before the delay is noted. As well as the normally "interesting position", it can be accompanied by a lack of monthly breast engorgement, changes in preferences and mood. The pregnancy test in the pharmacy, which identifies pregnancy, also shows two bright strips, but there are cases when they gradually pale when the analysis is repeated.
The manifestation of ectopic pregnancy can be the presence of smearing bloody discharge from the vagina, which appear against a background of complete absence of menstruation. It is often noted by the presence of pulling and constant pain, the epicenter of which is the place of attachment of the fetal egg. Patients complain of unpleasant sensations in the abdomen or lumbar region.
Also to early signs of an ectopic pregnancy it is possible to carry:
- dizziness;
- weakening of the whole organism;
- fainting and clouding;
- nausea, etc.
Undeniable is the fact that all of the above is inherent in a normal pregnancy. Often a woman learns about her diagnosis at another appointment with a gynecologist. Suspicion of ectopic pregnancy is intensified, as signs of toxicosis develop, which becomes more difficult with increasing duration of gestation.
When are signs of an ectopic pregnancy?
It is almost impossible to determine its availability at very early stages. How to recognize an ectopic pregnancy can help an ultrasound machine. On the primary research by this device the doctor notes:
- the uterine cavity does not have an attached fetal egg;
- the size of the uterus does not change, although it should grow.
How to identify ectopic pregnancy?
In addition to all the above studies, a woman will have to undergo a series of confirmatory tests for the level of hCG, leukocytes and all the current compulsory laboratory tests.
Where does it hurt to get an ectopic pregnancy?
Simultaneously with a sharp deterioration in the general condition of the pregnant woman, the manifestation of pain is also increasing. After a short period of time, spasms and sharp, acute pain are noted. It begins with the location of the uterine tube and gradually covers the entire abdominal cavity.
The signs of ectopic in the early stages may also depend on the presence of such complications as:
- increased body temperature;
- unexpected decrease in blood pressure;
- decreased hemoglobin;
- anemia develops, etc.
Information on what signs of an ectopic pregnancy exist, and whether there is a risk of having such a pathology is yours, should tell the supervising physician. It is he who will carry out all the necessary research and inspections. Neglecting his warnings and recommendations can end very badly. From what signs of an ectopic pregnancy take place and how much time it was possible to diagnose and will depend on the availability of such an outcome of the case as:
- rupture of the fallopian tube;
- internal bleeding;
- terrible pain and deep fainting;
- increasing the risk of being infertile, etc.
What are the signs of an ectopic pregnancy that ended in rupturing the tubes?
Very often, when there is abundant and prolonged bleeding, it comes to the rupture of the growing fetal egg of the fallopian tubes. This can be determined with the help of such manipulations:
- examination of the uterus is painful;
- a fetal egg is groped;
- a sharp pain in the abdominal region, transmitted into the anus;
- increased sweating and blanching.
