ectopic pregnancy

Examples of ectopic pregnancy in the following topics:

• Ectopic Pregnancy

  • With rare exceptions, ectopic pregnancies are not viable.
  • There is no inflammation of the tube in ectopic pregnancy.
  • Often the intrauterine pregnancy is discovered later than the ectopic, mainly because of the painful emergency nature of ectopic pregnancies.
  • There are a number of risk factors for ectopic pregnancies.
  • D&C), smoking, previous ectopic pregnancy, and tubal ligation.

• Fifth Through Eighth Weeks of Development

  • An embryo from an ectopic pregnancy, still in the oviduct.
  • Embryo from an ectopic pregnancy, located in the the part of the uterus to which the fallopian tube is attached.

• Female Duct System

  • Occasionally, the embryo implants into the fallopian tube instead of the uterus, creating an ectopic pregnancy, commonly known as a "tubal pregnancy. "

• Chlamydia

  • PID can cause scarring inside the reproductive organs, which can later cause serious complications, including chronic pelvic pain, difficulty becoming pregnant, ectopic (tubal) pregnancy, and other dangerous complications of pregnancy.Chlamydia is known as the "Silent Epidemic" because in women, it may not cause any symptoms in 75% of cases, and can linger for months or years before being discovered.

• Early Pregnancy Tests

  • Pregnancy tests are assays measuring indicators of pregnancy found in urine and blood samples, e.g., human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).
  • Markers that indicate pregnancy are found in urine and blood: pregnancy tests require sampling one of these substances.
  • Obstetric ultrasonography may also be used to detect pregnancy.
  • The test for pregnancy that can give the quickest result after fertilization is a rosette inhibition assay for early pregnancy factor (EPF).
  • Markers that indicate pregnancy are found in urine and blood: pregnancy tests require sampling one of these substances.

• Anatomical Changes

  • A number of early medical signs are associated with pregnancy.
  • This process continues throughout the pregnancy.
  • The first 12 weeks of pregnancy is known as the first trimester.
  • Weeks 13 to 28 of the pregnancy is called the second trimester.
  • The body's posture changes as the pregnancy progresses.

• Exercise and Pregnancy

  • Regular aerobic exercise during pregnancy appears to improve (or maintain) physical fitness.
  • Although an upper level of safe exercise intensity has not been established, women who were regular exercisers before pregnancy and who have uncomplicated, healthy pregnancies should be able to engage in high-intensity exercise programs (e.g., jogging and aerobics) for less than 45 minutes with no adverse effects.
  • However, more recent information suggests that in the uncomplicated pregnancy, fetal injuries are highly unlikely.
  • A strong, healthy woman will generally have a good pregnancy outcome.
  • Physicians recommend moderate exercise during pregnancy, including strength-training.

• Introduction to Pregnancy and Human Development

  • Pregnancy is the period of gestation from the fertilization of an egg, through development of a fetus, and ending at birth.
  • Pregnancy is the state of fertilization and development of one or more offspring within a woman's uterus.
  • In a pregnancy, there can be multiple gestations, as in the case of twins or triplets.
  • One scientific term for the state of pregnancy is gravidity (adjective "gravid"), Latin for "heavy."
  • Ultrasound is used to monitor the age and health of the fetus during pregnancy.

• Metabolic Changes

  • Protein and carbohydrate metabolism are affected during pregnancy and maternal insulin resistance can lead to gestational diabetes.
  • During pregnancy, both protein metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism are affected.
  • There is some question whether the condition is natural during pregnancy.
  • Gestational diabetes generally has few symptoms and it is most commonly diagnosed by screening during pregnancy.
  • Gestational diabetes affects 3-10% of pregnancies, depending on the population studied, so it may be a natural phenomenon.

• Spermicides

  • Spermicide is a contraceptive substance that eradicates sperm and is inserted vaginally prior to intercourse to prevent pregnancy.
  • Spermicide is a contraceptive substance that eradicates sperm and is inserted vaginally prior to intercourse to prevent pregnancy.
  • However, the pregnancy rate experienced by couples using only spermicide is higher than that of couples using other methods.
  • Combined methods are believed to result in lower pregnancy rates than either method alone.
  • However, a review in 1990 of large studies on spermicides concluded that there appears to be no increased risk of congenital anomalies, altered sex ratio, or early pregnancy loss among spermicide users.
