Ectopic Pregnancy

  • Using USG (ultrasonography). By using USG, doctor can detect the ectopic pregnancy because the damage and bleeding in fallopian tube can be detected and also the embryo in the outside of the uterus can be detected as well.
  • Using measure towards HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin – pregnancy homone) rates. The HCG rate of pregnant mother who has ectopic pregnancy is usually not increased.
  • Doing small surgery by giving small incision in the lower abdomen (laparoscopy)

Treatment

The doctor will always cancel the ectopic pregnancy by giving medicine that will hold the embryo growth. The long term effect can be avoided if the ectopic pregnancy can be detected early. If the ectopic pregnancy has detected earlier, it can be handled by giving injected medicine so it can be permeated by pregnant mother. This thing will make the fallopian tube in full condition. If the condition becomes serious, such as the fallopian tube had swollen, so the doctor will do surgery.

Prognosis

About 12% of women will have ectopic again if they ever had this kind of condition before. Women will be fertile again after having ectopic pregnancy (60%), severe trauma after having ectopic pregnancy which is followed by the desire not to be pregnant again (30%), and about 10% of women will have fertile problem after having ectopic pregnancy.

Positive support from husbands, families, or friends will be needed for women who ever had ectopic pregnancy. Hopefully, it will decrease the traumatic experience from ectopic pregnancy so the recovery and the feeling to be pregnant again can be fully back (of course by seeing the condition after having ectopic pregnancy). Consult your condition to the doctor or midwife if you want to be pregnant again after having ectopic pregnancy. It is important thing to do so the doctor or midwife can give the steps that you should do to avoid ectopic pregnancy. And if you decide to get pregnant again, you should be tightly watched in the next pregnancy so the pregnancy can be done greatly until the maternity time.
