Patient's question:
Right ovary with anechoic mass, is it ectopic pregnancy with a yolk sac visible inside? If not, why is there an anechoic mass recorded on the ultrasound report? A normal intrauterine pregnancy's yolk sac is inside the uterus, not in the ovary, can I understand it this way?Doctor's answer:
What is known as ectopic pregnancy is when the gestational sac implants and grows outside the uterus. It is considered an emergency in gynecology. If an ectopic pregnancy ruptures and is not treated promptly, it can be life-threatening. Therefore, after becoming pregnant, if there is bleeding or abdominal pain, it is necessary to visit the hospital for follow-up and undergo relevant examinations to receive symptomatic treatment. In the case of a non-ruptured ectopic pregnancy, inpatient conservative treatment is adopted. If it ruptures, emergency surgery is performed. The recurrence of ectopic pregnancy severely affects women's health, and it is necessary to pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene and avoiding sexual activity in daily life.
