Why does cervical pregnancy occur?
The causes of ectopic, cervical pregnancy are quite numerous. Most often, this violation is caused by:
- endometritis;
- dystrophic changes in the inner layer of the uterus;
- tumor;
- cicatrical changes in the area of the internal throat of the uterus;
- ishmic-cirvical insufficiency.
What are the signs of development of cervical pregnancy?
As a rule, in most cases, there are no symptoms to determine the development of cervical pregnancy in a woman. About this violation, doctors are only recognized after a vaginal examination and ultrasound.
So, on examination, the vaginal part of the uterus becomes sharply shortened, and acquires a barrel shape, has a cyanotic color. The external uterine pharynx thus assumes an eccentric position, its edges become thinner.
The shortened vaginal part of the uterus almost immediately turns into a fetus, - a soft formation, which in its dimensions fully corresponds to the term of pregnancy, i.e. increases with the growth of the fetus.
Directly over the placenta, the gynecologist palpates the uterine body, which is smaller in size than it should be in pregnancy. This worries doctors.
Ultrasound is used to clarify the diagnosis and confirm cervical pregnancy. The screen clearly shows that the fetal egg is not in the uterine cavity, but in its neck.
How is cervical pregnancy treated?
If there is a suspected development of a cervical pregnancy, the woman is hospitalized and treated in a hospital. Perhaps the only method used during the therapeutic process for this disorder is surgical intervention. This operation is called extirpation of the uterus .
In some cases, according to the decision of the medical consultation, suture of the fetal container can be carried out after the fetal egg has been removed, i. E. at occurrence of the subsequent physiological pregnancy, delivery will be spent by a cesarean section. At carrying out of similar manipulation the risk of development of a uterine bleeding is high . Therefore, doctors prepare in advance for its elimination.
What are the consequences of cervical pregnancy?
A nasal pregnancy should be detected as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences for a woman can be very sad. The fact is that as the fetal egg grows, the cervix will stretch, which in the end can lead to its rupture. This phenomenon is fraught with severe bleeding, therefore, assistance should be provided immediately. Otherwise, the likelihood of lethal outcome is high.
How to avoid the development of cervical pregnancy?
A special role in the development of this disorder is played by preventive measures. So at the planning stage of pregnancy, it is necessary to exclude the presence of gynecological diseases,
Quite often cervical pregnancy is observed in those women who had a history of abortion. Therefore, before they are carried out, doctors are necessarily warned about the possible consequences, both for the health of a woman, and about the possibility of the absence of subsequent pregnancies.
In addition, special attention should be given to the timeliness of visits to the doctor. When the first signs of pregnancy appear, you need to contact a doctor who, after the examination and ultrasound can determine if there are any violations, or the fetus develops normally.
