This video shows A rare case, Ruptured ectopic Pregnancy, tubal pregnancy.
Ectopic Pregnancy is the implantation of the conceptus outside of the normal uterine cavity site. Many factors are implicated in the development of an ectopic pregnancy. ... If the ectopic is ruptured, the patient may present with signs of shock. With an ectopic, no evidence of intrauterine pregnancy would be noted on ultrasonography.
Conceptus denotes the embryo and its adnexa (appendages or adjunct parts) or associated membranes (i.e. the products of conception). The conceptus includes all structures that develop from the zygote, both embryonic and extra-embryonic.
Ectopic pregnancy is the implantation of a fertilized egg in an abnormal location. In an ectopic pregnancy, the fetus cannot survive. When an ectopic pregnancy ruptures, women often have abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, which, if not treated, can be fatal.
If the fertilized egg continues to grow in the fallopian tube, it can cause the tube to rupture. Heavy bleeding inside the abdomen follows usually. Symptoms of this life-threatening event include extreme lightheadedness, fainting, severe abdominal pain, and shock.
Most ectopic pregnancies can be detected using a pelvic exam, ultrasound, and blood tests. A pregnancy in the uterus is visible 6 weeks after the last menstrual period, but with an advanced ultrasound machine, it could be seen earlier. Ectopic pregnancy should be suspected if there are no signs of an embryo or fetus in the uterus as expected, but HCG levels are elevated or rising.
An HCG level of less than 5 mIU/mL (milli-international units per milliliter ) is considered negative for pregnancy, and anything above 25 mIU/mL is considered positive for pregnancy. An hCG level between 6 and 24 mIU/mL is considered a grey area, and you'll likely need to be retested to see if your levels rise to confirm a pregnancy.
