Ectopic pregnancy cases range from those with no complaints to those termed acute abdomen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pregnancy test (\u00df hCG) in the blood is positive. However, while in normal pregnancies this value increases by 66% within 48 hours, this increase is not observed in ectopic pregnancies. Such an increase in \u00df hCG only occurs after 7 days. If the \u00df hCG level is 2000 mIU\/ml but the gestational sac cannot be detected inside the uterus by vaginal ultrasound, suspicions should be raised.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Symptoms_of_Ectopic_Pregnancy\"><\/span><b>What are the Symptoms of Ectopic Pregnancy?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The symptoms of ectopic pregnancy can be listed as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delayed menstruation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nausea<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vomiting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breast tenderness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Positive urine test<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Positive blood test<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to these symptoms, if one or more of the following complaints suddenly arise during pregnancy, immediate medical attention should be sought:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower abdominal pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain or pressure in the shoulder, neck, or rectum<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sharp cramps in one area of the abdomen<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vaginal bleeding<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fatigue followed by dizziness and fainting sensation<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Does_Ectopic_Pregnancy_Occur\"><\/span><b>Why Does Ectopic Pregnancy Occur?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ectopic pregnancy develops when the fertilised egg with delayed passage to the uterus develops in the form of an ectopic pregnancy.

The patient may menstruate close to her due date, and if there is damage and bleeding in the tube in the later period, a serious condition with sudden severe abdominal pain and widespread tenderness may develop due to intraperitoneal bleeding. In this case, while blood pressure drops, an increase in pulse is observed. The patient may experience fatigue, a feeling of faintness, and dimming of vision.

Unfortunately, the embryo attempting to develop outside the uterus cannot survive. Furthermore, there is no possibility for this embryo to be transported to the uterus. Therefore, the treatment method for ectopic pregnancy is mostly termination of pregnancy. This can be accomplished by:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy can be made early, pregnancy can be terminated by administering one or more doses of appropriate injection therapy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the pregnancy has progressed and has caused damage to the tubes, the egg in the tube is cleaned out through a surgical procedure, and if necessary, the damaged tube is removed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The treatment of ectopic pregnancy and the ability to become pregnant again after treatment are possible. Even if one of the tubes is removed, women can easily become pregnant with their other healthy tubes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no simple and definite answer to the question of how ectopic pregnancy is recognised. However, after some checks, a clear diagnosis can be made. However, if a sign outside the normal range is noticed by paying attention to the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy, it is necessary to consult a doctor without delay.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is an Ectopic Pregnancy?
