Patient's question:
My wife just went to the hospital and was carefully examined to find out that she is pregnant. However, the doctor said it is an ectopic pregnancy, and the child may not be able to come back. I would like to ask, what is ectopic pregnancy? Is it possible to give birth to the child? We both really want this child.Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy means that there is no gestational sac echo observed within the uterine cavity during a B, while a gestational sac implantation is found outside the uterine cavity, such as in the fallopian tubes, ovaries, or a specific location in the abdominal cavity. Additionally, hCG doubling is not ideal, and no gestational sac implantation site can be identified either inside or outside the uterus. If ectopic pregnancy is confirmed, it is essential to prevent the possibility of pelvic bleeding. Therefore, if there is a clear gestational sac implantation site with a high risk of rupture and signs of severe bleeding shock, immediate surgery should be performed without delay.
