Patient's question:
My friend has been feeling stomach pain since she got pregnant. At first, the pain wasn't severe, so she didn't pay much attention. But in recent days, the abdominal pain has become very intense, and she finally decided to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. The result was an ectopic pregnancy. What are the consequences of ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
If ectopic pregnancy is detected, it should be treated as soon as possible. The hazards of ectopic pregnancy can lead to miscarriage. Complete abortion results in less bleeding, but incomplete abortion leaves many villi behind in the fallopian tube. The trophoblast can infiltrate the fallopian tube wall for a period of time, causing repeated bleeding. Due to the poor contractility of the fallopian tube muscle layer, the open blood vessels cannot close, leading to further tearing. The villi of the early pregnancy egg erode the muscle layer and serosa of the fallopian tube, causing it to rupture. It can damage small arteries and cause acute bleeding. In this case, the body's own coagulation mechanism cannot complete the task of medication. If diagnosis and treatment are not promptly confirmed and initiated, the patient may face hemorrhagic shock and risk death.
