Patient's question:
I went to the hospital a few days ago for a thorough examination and found out that I have an ectopic pregnancy. I would like to know, when does an ectopic pregnancy rupture?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy does not always rupture. If the tissue at the location of ectopic pregnancy is relatively thin and the embryo's viability is strong, it is more likely to rupture again. When ectopic pregnancy ruptures, it can lead to significant bleeding in the abdominal cavity, making it easier to experience shock again. In some cases, ectopic pregnancy with weak embryo viability may naturally miscarry, which is also known as ectopic pregnancy miscarriage. Miscarriage with excessive tissue shedding can also lead to shock again. In other cases, ectopic pregnancy with poor embryo viability may not result in abdominal bleeding, as the tissue is gradually metabolized by the body.
