Can you have a miscarriage with a etopic pregnancy?
I understand that approximately 50% of ectopic pregnancies (or tubal pregnancies) abort naturally. This is called a tubal abortion. Many tubal pregnancies do continue to grow and will require medical intervention to resolve. IF caught in the very early stages it is possible to treat with a drug, otherwise surgery is necessary to avoid rupture.
Do tubal abortions from tubal pregnancies expell the embryo from the body like a miscarriage?
NO, a tubal pregnancy is an ectopic, extremely dangerous and you would need an operation to remove it. You would know if you had one as the pain is excruciating.
Is a tubal and ectopic pregnancy the same thing?
A normal pregnancy is when the foetus grow in the womb where it's supposed to be, whereas an ectopic pregnancy is where the foetus is growing in the fallopian tubes, this is very serious if you suspect an ectopic pregnancy go strait to you GP or nearest A&E department, Ectopic pregnancies can be potentially life threatening.
Can a tubal baby be moved into the uterus?
No. Unfortunately, pregnancies that develop outside the uterus, known as ectopic pregnancies, are unable to proceed and once discovered are aborted, either with medical or surgical management.
How many pregnancies are ectopic?
More than 1% of pregnancies are ectopic, and they are becoming more common
What do you do when you have an etopical pregnancy?
An ectopic pregnancy, or eccyesis, is a complications-of-pregnancyin which the pregnancy implants outside the uterus.http://www.answers.com/ectopicpregnancy#cite_note-0 With rare exceptions, ectopic pregnancies are not viable. Furthermore, they are dangerous for the mother, internal bleeding being a common complication. Most ectopic pregnancies occur in the fallopian-tube(so-called tubal pregnancies), but implantation can also occur in the cervix, ovary, and abdomen. An ectopic pregnancy is a potential medical-emergency, and, if not treated properly, can lead to death.
Can you pregnant after you have your tubes tied?
The U.S. Collaborative Review of Sterilization (CREST) found the failure rate for tubal ligation (all occlusion methods) to be 1.85% after 10 years. Of the sterilization failures in CREST, one third were ectopic pregnancies (not within the uterus). Because of the high rate of ectopic pregnancy, women of child bearing age who have had tubal sterilization should have a pregnancy test performed if they have not had a menstrual period. If the woman is pregnant, then she should be evaluated further for the presence of an ectopic pregnancy
Do IUDs lead to ectopic pregnancies?
Among women who become pregnant while using a progesterone-bearing IUD, about 15% have ectopic pregnancies
What is the rate of ectopic pregnancy in women of reproductive age?
The rate of ectopic pregnancy in women of reproductive age is approximately 1-2 of all pregnancies.
Is it possible to actually get pregnant after a tubal ligation and NOT be an ectopic pregnancy?
After a tubal ligation you should NOT be able to get pregnant.
Is ectopic pregnancy a pregnancy in the correct position?
An ectopic pregnancy, or eccysis, is a complication of pregnancy in which the embryo implants outside the uterine cavity. With rare exceptions, ectopic pregnancies are not viable. Furthermore, they are dangerous for the mother, since internal haemorrhage is a life-threatening complication. Most ectopic pregnancies occur in the Fallopian tube (so-called tubal pregnancies), but implantation can also occur in the cervix, ovaries, andabdomen. An ectopic pregnancy is a potential medical emergency, and, if not treated properly, can lead to death. In a normal pregnancy, the fertilized egg enters the uterus and settles into the uterine lining where it has plenty of room to divide and grow. About 1% of pregnancies are in an ectopic location with implantation not occurring inside of the womb, and of these 98% occur in the Fallopian tubes. Detection of ectopic pregnancy in early gestation has been achieved mainly due to enhanced diagnostic capability. Despite all these notable successes in diagnostics and detection techniques ectopic pregnancy remains a source of serious maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in countries with poor prenatal care. In a typical ectopic pregnancy, the embryo adheres to the lining of the fallopian tube and burrows into the tubal lining. Most commonly this invades vessels and will cause bleeding. This intratubal bleeding hematosalpinx expels the implantation out of the tubal end as a tubal abortion. Tubal abortion is a common type of miscarriage. There is no inflammation of the tube in ectopic pregnancy. The pain is caused by prostaglandins released at the implantation site, and by free blood in the peritoneal cavity, which is a local irritant. Sometimes the bleeding might be heavy enough to threaten the health or life of the woman. Usually this degree of bleeding is due to delay in diagnosis, but sometimes, especially if the implantation is in the proximal tube (just before it enters the uterus), it may invade into the nearby Sampson artery, causing heavy bleeding earlier than usual. If left untreated, about half of ectopic pregnancies will resolve without treatment. These are the tubal abortions. The advent of methotrexate treatment for ectopic pregnancy has reduced the need for surgery; however, surgical intervention is still required in cases where the Fallopian tube has ruptured or is in danger of doing so. This intervention may be laparoscopic or through a larger incision, known as a laparotomy.
How common are etopic pregnancies?
An ectopic pregnancy is estimated to occur in up to 1 out of every 50 pregnancies.
