You feel bad, there are signsfainting, bleeding is observed and all this is accompanied by a sharp tingling pain in the abdominal region? This is a serious reason to turn to a gynecologist. Do not want to scare right away, but all of the above signs can be signals of an ectopic pregnancy. Pulling with a visit to the doctor is not permissible. After all, the consequences can be irreversible.
What is ectopic pregnancy?In medicine, it is considered as such, if the birth of the fetus occurred not in the uterus, but in another place: in the ovary, in the tubes, in the peritoneum. Such a pregnancy is impossible. For the normal development of the fetus and its growth, only the uterus is suitable. If symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy are observed in the early stages, it should be interrupted. The birth of a child is simply impossible.
If diagnosed - ectopicpregnancy, immediately it is necessary to hospitalize a woman and as soon as possible to take measures to eradicate the fetus. Sharp deterioration of state of health and pain - not the most terrible at such diagnosis. It is not known how the female body will behave. But the consequences can be terrible. It is sad, but often happens, the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are poorly expressed at early stages, and the nature's insidiousness is that at the most unexpected moment the woman's condition worsens so much that doctors are afraid to give predictions about the successful resolution of this situation.
Than ectopic pregnancy is terrible?You do not need to be a medic to indicate the consequences. If the egg was impregnated and attached to the wrong place, for example, in the fallopian tube, then the tube itself will grow with its growth. In the end, this will lead to a strong stretch and, in case of continued pregnancy, to rupture. This, in turn, will cause severe bleeding in the abdominal cavity, which will result in infection and serious diseases. In this case, the woman enters the intensive care unit and is constantly under the supervision of doctors.
What are the signs of ectopic pregnancy inThe first days can be observed (provided that it does not proceed in a latent form). It should be noted that most women do not pay attention to its first signs at all. Let's call these symptoms.
First, acute sudden or insignificantpain in the lower abdomen or appendages. The pain is short-lived or constantly aching. Very often, women associate this discomfort with inflammation of the appendages. In fact, perhaps, the signal comes from the fallopian tube, to which a fertilized egg is attached.
Secondly, there are bleeding or meagerselection. With severe bleeding, cases where doctors see the only way to save a woman's life are often is to remove the uterus. Not in all situations such a serious diagnosis is made. There is a tubal extrauterine pregnancy. More often it ends with a natural detachment of the egg and spontaneous withdrawal of it to the outside. In this case, the woman is bleeding heavily, but the outcome will be more favorable for her. If the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy in the early stages of poorly manifested themselves and, eventually, ended with a so-called tubal abortion (spontaneous rejection of the fetus), then with the correct diagnosis and timely treatment, nothing is threatened neither by health nor by the life of a woman.
Thirdly, speaking about the symptoms of ectopicpregnancy in the early stages, we can not say about the test checks. If you feel that you are pregnant, and something is wrong, then buy a test and carefully look at its result. The presence of a second barely noticeable band may prove to be an ectopic. Of course, you do not need to fully rely on the test, but it will still help you to get certain information.
So, let us summarize what has been said.If you have pelvic or abdominal pain, bleeding of an incomprehensible and inexplicable nature, pallor of the skin, drowsiness, sudden fatigue, a pregnancy test shows a positive result, but gives out a poorly visible second strip, then go to the gynecologist immediately. Let him better reassure you that everything is in order, and if there is cause for concern, he will prescribe a treatment and will provide qualified assistance.
