I would like some more information on ectopic pregnancy

Gynaecology

Answered by Dr. Himali Patel

A fertilized egg implanting and developing outside the uterus, often in the fallopian tubes, is a serious medical condition known as an ectopic pregnancy. In rare cases, it can occur in other areas like the ovary or abdominal cavity. As the pregnancy progresses, it can lead to pain, bleeding, and life-threatening complications for the woman. Ectopic pregnancies cannot reach full term and pose a significant risk to the woman's health. If not treated, they can cause the fallopian tube or the organ where the pregnancy is located to rupture, resulting in severe internal bleeding.

Me and my wife had sex on 10th day after her periods started we used condom and now she have bleeding for past 2 days is there anything to worry?

Female | 24

If the intercourse was rough, it could just be irritation making itself known, or possibly even a small tear in your partner’s vaginal wall. Look out for any sign that it might have been more than that, like if there’s pain at all beyond normal discomfort during sex, or weird discharge afterward.

I am not getting periods for 2 months periods

Female | 42

Experiencing a delay in your menstrual cycle can stem from various factors, including stress, hormonal imbalances, drastic weight changes, or underlying health conditions. Common symptoms may include mood fluctuations or changes in appetite. It's crucial to remember that this can happen occasionally and is often not a cause for concern. However, if you've missed two cycles, I recommend scheduling a visit with your gynecologist. They can provide personalized advice, perform necessary evaluations, and help you understand your situation better, ensuring your overall well-being is prioritized.

Doctor..... Today morning urination that same thing happened.....after 2 hours little bit of brown discharge during bathing.... without any cramping and stomach pain.I am so much feared doctor.....more than 22 hours the bleeding is not heavy flow but I am not confirmed it's period or implantation bleeding please clarify doctor

Female | 29

Brown discharge can happen for different reasons. It may refer to the old blood that is released or a symptom of implantation. Implantation bleeding is the phenomenon when a fertilized egg attaches to the uterus lining. Should the bleeding not increase and you are not experiencing any pain, it is nothing serious. If you have any doubts, it is always good to contact a gynecologist to be safe.

Female | 22

You're dealing with unwanted effects after emergency contraception. Nausea, stomach cramps, headaches, backaches, stabbing above the belly button, and exhaustion can come with the pill. It changes hormones in your body, leading to these issues. Try resting, drinking water, and eating light foods. But if problems persist or worsen, see a gynecologist.

Hello mam lam suffering from heavy bleeding in periods.l am 38 years old.In my sonography a small fobriod and endometrial hyperplasia 16mm .My doctor advised me to small surgery for thick layer

Female | 38

This can be because of a small tumor called a fibroid, and a thickened lining of your uterus is called endometrial hyperplasia. These will give you excessive bleeding. The gynecologist recommended minor surgery to manage this issue. The surgery's objective will be the removal of the fibroid and the thick layer, both of which should result in the improvement of the symptoms.

I’m 21 years old female I have pid and have been using ofloxacin to cure it since last three months I bought one this month and it didn’t work for me Can I use metronidazole to treat pid

Female | 21

It is important to visit the doctor if you are experiencing any of the following pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) symptoms, such as; pelvic pain, high body temperature, and unusual discharge. If ofloxacin does not cure you, I suggest you not replace it with metronidazole, as PID usually needs a variety of drugs to be healed properly, without first consulting a doctor. I advise that you make an appointment with your gynecologist to discuss the symptoms and find the most suitable approach. This can only be achieved through timely management and regular health checks by PID.

My hands were covered in sperm, then I cleaned my hands only with water 3 times. After that, I cleaned my vagina with still wet hands and water. will it cause pregnancy?

Female | 21

Pregnancy is only possible if sperm enters the vagina through intercourse. The fact that you only used water to clean your hands makes it very unlikely that sperm would transfer to your vagina. But to be on the safe side, you should start using soap for effective handwashing in the future. Besides, if you notice any unusual symptoms like missed periods or unusual discharge, it is always better to speak with a gynecologist.

Period 2 weeks late, feeling very nauseous thought out the day. Also feeling like period is going to come but does and had a negative pregnancy test. I’m 37 so what could this be? I take sertraline 150 and fexofenadine due to chronic hives that have been happening daily for almost a year.

Female | 37

You're experiencing a late period of two weeks and feeling nauseous, but pregnancy tests are showing negative results. This can be concerning, especially at age 37. Additionally, you take sertraline and fexofenadine for chronic hives, which can sometimes affect your menstrual cycle. Other factors, such as stress, hormone imbalance, or health issues, might also be the cause. I suggest consulting your gynecologist to discuss your symptoms and explore possible next steps for diagnosis and treatment.

Female | 25

If you had an emergency contraceptive pill within 12-15 hours of intercourse, you are usually protected. It's common to experience changes in your period after taking the pill. Wait for your next period; if it's late or abnormal, do a pregnancy test. Also, using regular birth control methods is important to prevent pregnancy in the future.

Female | 27

A blighted ovum is a type of miscarriage. It means an egg got fertilized but didn't develop correctly. You might have vaginal bleeding and cramps. Sometimes, a doctor will need to do a procedure called D&C. This removes any remaining tissue from your uterus. Make sure to follow up with your gynecologist. They can explain the best next steps for you.

Female | 58

Considering your mother's background of having had Bypass Surgery and Acute Chest Pain, such acute pain can signal a possible heart problem. I highly recommend you make an appointment with a cardiologist for an in-depth examination without hesitation.
