Ectopic pregnancy is something that many pregnant mothers are unwilling to face. Therefore, in order to avoid or know in advance whether there is an ectopic pregnancy, pregnant mothers should go to the hospital for examination at the appropriate time. But at the beginning of pregnancy, it is impossible to check whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy by going to the hospital. So, how long does it take to check for intrauterine pregnancy after pregnancy? Let me explain it here. How long after pregnancy should you check for intrauterine pregnancy?
Generally, B-ultrasound examination is required to identify intrauterine pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy. The gestational sac can only be seen in B-ultrasound examination around 40 days into pregnancy. Therefore, if there are no vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain and other symptoms, you need to wait about 40 days of pregnancy for a B-ultrasound examination to determine whether there is an intrauterine pregnancy. It is recommended that you relax, pay attention to rest, and avoid strenuous activities. B-ultrasound examination can be done on the 40th day of pregnancy.
If menstruation has been normal in the past, you can wait until about 40 days after menopause to go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound examination to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. It is recommended not to do strenuous exercise in early pregnancy. You can take folic acid tablets orally to prevent cardiovascular malformations in the fetus. You can just stop taking folic acid tablets at the end of the third month. Go to the hospital regularly to check the fetal development to see if it is normal, and maintain a good mood at ordinary times.
If menstruation is regular and the cycle is about 30 days, and the menstruation is delayed by 1 to 2 days, a pregnancy test can detect a positive result. Generally, around 40 days into pregnancy, a B-ultrasound can reveal the gestational sac in the uterus, confirming intrauterine pregnancy and excluding ectopic pregnancy. For more than 50 days of pregnancy, the fetal heartbeat can be seen in most cases, and at the latest on the 63rd day, if the fetal heartbeat cannot be seen, the embryo may have stopped developing.
Ectopic pregnancy is caused by the fertilized egg implanting outside the uterine cavity. Most of them are within the fallopian tube because the fallopian tube is blocked. If you want to rule out ectopic pregnancy, go for a B-ultrasound on the 40th day of pregnancy. If you see a gestational sac in the uterine cavity, you can rule out ectopic pregnancy. If vaginal bleeding or severe abdominal pain occurs before 40 days of pregnancy, you should go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound in time to rule out ectopic pregnancy. What does ectopic pregnancy mean?
In the normal pregnancy process, after the sperm and egg combine to become a fertilized egg, they will implant in the uterine cavity, which is an intrauterine pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy means that the fertilized egg implants and grows and develops outside the uterine cavity.
The fertilized egg must implant in the inner wall of the uterus to be considered the beginning of pregnancy
In addition, when diagnosing ectopic pregnancy, it is often associated with "ectopic pregnancy", and the meaning between the two Slightly different, ectopic pregnancy refers to all pregnancies that occur outside the uterus, while ectopic pregnancy refers to pregnancies in which the pregnant egg is located outside the normal implantation site, including cervical pregnancy, intramural pregnancy, uterine horn pregnancy, etc., so ectopic pregnancy Pregnancy has a broader meaning and is accepted by the obstetrics and gynecology community.
Generally speaking, ectopic pregnancy can also cause menopause. At this time, early pregnancy test strips can also be used to test pregnancy. Generally speaking, if a woman's menstrual cycle is normal and her menstrual period has not come yet after a week's delay, she can take a urine pregnancy test to first determine whether she is pregnant. Then a B-ultrasound examination can be performed to determine whether it is an ectopic pregnancy or not. Generally, the fetal sac can be detected around 40 days into pregnancy, and you will need to go to the hospital for blood HCG and vaginal 4-dimensional color ultrasound. If the blood HCG test shows pregnancy, but the four-dimensional color ultrasound does not find a normal implanted fetal sac in the uterine cavity, it is an ectopic pregnancy.
Ectopic pregnancy must be hospitalized for treatment. Noting the early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy can promptly send the patient to the hospital for observation, which facilitates timely rescue when the ectopic pregnancy causes excessive internal bleeding.
Ectopic pregnancy must be hospitalized for treatment
Surgery is the most common method to treat ectopic pregnancy.
The surgical method is usually to remove the ectopic pregnancy. Commonly used ones include laparotomy and laparoscopy.
In addition, non-surgical treatment can also be used to treat ectopic pregnancy. Non-surgical treatment of ectopic pregnancy using a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine can save some patients from the pain of surgery and preserve the fallopian tube on the affected side, increasing the chance of another pregnancy.
