Patient's question:
Today I went for a prenatal check-up, and the doctor said I have cervical pregnancy. Doctor, does cervical pregnancy have the risk of ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy includes cervical pregnancy (also known as cervical pregnancy), tubal pregnancy, ovarian pregnancy, abdominal early pregnancy, and broad ligament early pregnancy. Therefore, cervical pregnancy is a type of ectopic pregnancy. The implantation and growth of a fertilized egg in the cervical canal is called cervical pregnancy, and this condition is extremely rare. It is more common in multiparous women. There is a history of missed periods and early pregnancy symptoms, with the main symptom being vaginal bleeding or light bleeding. The amount of bleeding typically starts from light to heavy, or it can also be intermittent heavy vaginal bleeding. The main signs include significant cervical dilation, soft cervix, thin cervical margin expansion, tightly closed internal os, and normal cervical size and firmness.
